I’m not sure that refutes the point. The couple may be activists but at the time of the event they needed to interview many places before they found what they were looking for. Maybe it’s oppressive but I believe there is a difference between forcing a sole proprietor to make a particular type of cake because they can’t say no for protected class reasons. While the fay community has been similarly oppressed I just don’t see the comparison here as clarifying so much as muddying.
But why not both?

It's fun to build a company. It's also sometimes time to unload it, and move on to something else. It's a very different kind of person that wants to start a company vs operate it for the rest of their natural life.
What I figured was Amtrak travelers were train enthusiasts or looking for a nostalgic scenic route. There are also some benefits such as less stress than an airport, being able to have a sleeper car, a dining car, more space, and panoramic cars as you go over mountains and through deserts (Western US).
Entitlement is itself a dangerous concept, but transparency in accounting on this front is a must. Only if we do so can we know whether we're conducting fair trades (which is basically what embloyment is in the marketplace).
> an "expert"

Here's the problem: "Experts" (or "veterans" as the author calls them) are not created equal: There's the expert that already knows the code because she's worked on it countless times and already has a very detailed mental model of the code and there's the expert who's a very experienced programmer but has never seen the code before.

Even experts of the latter category appreciate good comments when they read code (surely not comments of the "n00b" kind portrayed in the article but comments nonetheless).

> Maybe I should try that next time I'm in a restaurant.

Perhaps ironically, people frequently place orders at restaurant and then decline to come to pick them up & pay. They restaurant still ends up providing the service they promise, and the customer declines to make the payment they promise.

It's terrible, but my understanding is it's similarly quite commonplace and hardly ever prosecuted.

Having not read the full TOS and all its definitions, I'll agree that would likely get around GoDaddy's objection.

GoDaddy could maybe argue that the fundamental purpose of the website was still to facilitate gathering that data, but that seems more of a stretch. "You are using our servers to gather this forbidden data" vs "you are using our servers to gather this allowed data, which will later be used to gather forbidden data elsewhere"...

I'd guess that the reason the website doesn't want to make this change would be that it'd greatly increase their own costs in terms of followup they'd have to perform. Makes it a more high-touch operation.

No. You can't trust proprietary software. Even if it's not doing anything bad now, that could change tomorrow.

All this Apple polish is a mirage that distracts us from the truly important stuff. Real computing is built on top of open software. Software that works for us instead of them. In the end that's the only thing we can actually put some trust in.
That's deliberately disingenuous. We've had a minimum wage in the US for decades. It hasn't tracked worker productivity in years (if it did, it would be over $21 and hour).

When we allow the minimum wage to stagnate, we indeed make a national decision to absorb the impact with federal programs.

Yeah, operator overloading would be a nice welcome change, and in the end the interpreter already does something similar because of all the coercion rules...

Which part of their FAQ intro do you disagree with?

> For decades, America’s schools have tried and failed to close gaps on math test scores between White students and students of color. That’s not because math discriminates by race, and it’s not because some groups of students are inherently more suited to math. It’s because we give students of color and students from lower-income families the least access to critical resources, from the most qualified teachers to the best technology to the most advanced courses. And it’s because instructional materials and practices—even good ones—are influenced by culture and perspective.

> When we think narrowly about teaching math, we create barriers for students; we allow them to fall into the trap of thinking they’re “not a math person.” But the truth is we can all be “math people.” The goal of “A Pathway to Equitable Mathematics Instruction” is to engage as many students as possible in not just solving math problems but understanding math concepts so they can apply them across a wide range of real-world applications. Math problems, of course, have correct answers. But students can arrive at the right answer without understanding the bigger concept or they can have an “aha” moment when they see why they got an answer wrong.

> The toolkit was written by educators, and it doesn’t tell teachers how to do their job—it asks them to think about how they do it. For example, when we ask students to show their work, we should think about how and why. The point should be to have a dialogue about their process and their learning, not require every student to follow the exact same path to the right answer. A child of immigrants might have learned a different way to solve a problem because that’s how their parents were taught where they grew up. If we just tell that student their way is the wrong way, we risk turning them off to math for life. If we take the opportunity to explore why there are different ways to approach the same problem, it can be a learning moment for the entire class
This is the part that baffles me the most about the law. As far as I know, if two people are harmed by your action they can each sue you independently. What's to stop a lawyer from finding an already-settled lawsuit, reproducing the evidence from public record, and trying it again?
They may not be necessary conditions, but many consider them to be sufficient.
Yeah, I don’t quite see how reducing hours of, say, construction workers, or grocery store clerks can have little or no negative impact on productivity.
> You don't own your employer's money until it's paid to you.

I think you’re conflating wages earned and wages paid. You most definitely do “own” the funds you’ve earned even if your employer has not yet paid them out to you.
I think so? I could totally see laws getting passed treating them similarly as an attempt (or purported attempt) to solve the problem. It's not like it's a wild idea to treat everyone's debts uniformly.
Exactly - generally I used Wednesday mornings to do life stuff, and then just unwound and relaxed in the afternoon. I was very energized for Thursday and Friday compared to my colleagues.
> Your "Trump-Julius" alignment is too contrived.

I didn't set out to establish equivalence (clearly a fool's errand) I only aimed to suss out similarities. How did you find otherwise?

I think I specifically called out that while Cesar was successful in wielding populism to maintain power, Trump was not. The key differences being the American people are kept divided.

> I doubt very much that anything can alter our decline. Your suggestion that the blue and white collar "come together" is simply wishful thinking.

The republic lives for as long as independent people prevail. Preserving the middle class as such, and as a political force, can save the republic.
From TFA:

> other research suggesting the drug would need to be given at levels 100 times the standard dose to have antiviral effects in humans.

I find it rather absurd to refuse a vaccine the FDA has approved and then take something at 100X the dose and off-label considering that a good idea since the FDA approved it for humans.

Before the delta wave there were arguments for probability that covid wouldn't become endemic so one was comparing a 5-10% of covid to getting vaccinated, now one is comparing 100% chance of covid with vaccination. If one thinks one will use Ivermectin when infected then one should vaccinate instead.
They already own that money according to the employment contract, and it's stolen 2 weeks later

Besides, theft is used as a specific name of a set of crimes, but it also has a generalized definition that means unjust taking, which contains fraud and other forms of theft
It’s more like you order a meal and you never get the fries. Did they steal from you or defraud you or was it a mistake. Hence why it’s so hard to catch

Yep. They have no idea how great the divide in between Orthodox and other branches of Christianity is. Even muslims are more normalized in Orthodox regions since they have been living side by side for ~1000 years. And Protestanism, Evangelicals etc? They are much more 'further out' than these right wingers realize.

The “man publicly dying” that is a pillar of Christianity is a human sacrifice, though.

It would be nice if there was a Russian-speaking community with Western values, out of reach of Russian government. But realistically, if you taught your kids Russian, it would probably just expose them to Russian values and propaganda of Russian government. I guess you did the right thing, but it's sad that you had to.
More fun was popping up obscene dialogs on the computer the teacher was using to present to the class on the projector.
Wholeheartedly agree with the "your docs features examples" principle. For code/APIs there's really two categories of examples: A) minimal, viable, complete snippets that capture a use case [1] and B) end-to-end working example of core use cases tied together.

The tricky thing about A is actually figuring out the common use cases and then finding the phrasing that your users would say. I was lucky when I worked on the Chrome DevTools docs because I had a huge record of the problems that people actually faced and how they described them: all the google-chrome-devtools questions [2] on Stack Overflow. For smaller products where obviously you won't have an active Stack Oveflow community, a good source of insight is support tickets.

But that is not what GPT-3 is. You could say that is what they did _given GPT-2_, but that is underselling the complexity.

Some scientist at OpenAI had the hypothesis "what if our algorithm is correct, but all we need is to scale it 3 magnitudes larger" and made it happen. They figured out how to scale all the dimensions. How fast should x scale if I scale y? (That is very tricky, as modern machine learning is basically alchemy)

And then they actually scaled it. That took a ton of engineering and hardware, for what was essentially still following a hunch.

And then they actually noticed how good it was, and did a ton of tests with the surprising results we now all know.
Sure, in some abstract world, but to make that claim about Kendi, you have to ignore what he has written and said, and most of what has been written about him.

“Dr. Kendi strives to be a hardcore antiracist”

“In 2020, The Root 100 listed him as the seventh most influential African American between the ages of 25 and 45 and the most influential college professor.”

We know what his goals are, and we know that he is independently regarded as extremely influential. He is de facto leading people towards his goals.

What isn’t clear is why you’d try to claim otherwise. He certainly wouldn’t.

And why is this normal? Why can't they offer zero knowledge cloud storage? Encrypt before upload and decrypt after download. The less they know about the data, the less liable they are for anything. Data is and should be a massive liability for companies. They should aim to know as little as possible.
The shortage also applies to low tech complements such as resistors.

Probably a healthy ability to reuse, repurpose, repair and recycle can be quite effective against the inability to just buy a new thing (regardless of whether the new thing is hi or lo tech)
I wouldn't disagree with any of that, and I hope I didn't imply that I would. You correctly mention that people who oppose abortion often also oppose allowing some different choices, if this is what's commonly understood by the term "pro-choice" then I was mistaken and find the terminology confusing.
Some laws in NL allow averaging out over a longer period. Its not a real example but say for example you work 3 days on average over a period of 6 months by doing 6 for the first 3 months. Its surprisingly comforting to look forwards to.

There's a quick summary at https://languageattrition.org/use-or-lose/, from where you can get links to decades of research on language attrition. Apparently, for people who speak multiple languages, there's some kind of interference effect between languages that's very counterintuitive, which means there's not the correlation between time spent per language and fluency that you would think there would be.

And when he did decide we should be walking around with masks he didn't cite any evidence. He said it was because surgical and N95s masks were in short supply.

When I was trying to find this video, I came across another video where he speaks in absolute terms that all we need to do is wears masks, social distance and practice good hygiene we would turn around the pandemic. I understand that things change over time, but whenever he speaks, he speaks as if what he is saying is fact. Now we even have vaccines and we clearly haven't turned it around. This is why people don't trust this guy.

I honestly don't see how you can watch all these videos and still trust this guy. I get that things change, but that's why you don't speak in absolute terms. Words matter.
> I think you’re conflating wages earned and wages paid. You most definitely do “own” the funds you’ve earned even if your employer has not yet paid them out to you.

"Own"... in what sense? Legally? If I went to withdraw that money from my employer's bank account, would they let me, or would they tell me that's not my money, even though it was supposed to be paid to me?

Unfortunately “let everyone be themselves” is very far from modern libertarianism in practice. “Libertarian” has become a label for people who want to argue in bad faith for conservative positions while claiming to not be conservative or republican. Ask almost anybody that claims to be libertarian if they support the eradication of state/national borders, freedom to carry out an abortion at any stage of pregnancy or any other idea that runs counter to current republican talking points and you’ll quickly see through the facade of their libertarian label.

San Mateo County is 69% rural, Santa Clara County is 74% rural, Alameda County is 63% rural, Contra Costa County is 57% rural and Marin is 84% rural. There are plenty of places to put suburbs. It's just not allowed. Yes you would need to build more roads.

But progressives don't like roads. And progressives don't like suburbs. If they have to choose between new roads and suburbs on one hand and a housing shortage on the other had, well visit San Francisco. You can see and smell the choices they've made.

Performative virtue signaling, as practiced in the US is wrong IMO. It is aimed at extracting social approval out of like-minded peers without effecting any positive change. Indeed it's getting to the point where _the mere absence_ of virtue signaling behavior draws reprisals and Twitter lynch mobs. Virtue under the barrel of a gun is not virtue at all.

Moreover, negative change is occurring: murders are up nationwide last year due to "abolishing police" in lower income neighborhoods and releasing repeat criminals from jail "on their own recognizance", a dozen times in a row. Black on black violence is a topic that can't even be raised on the left, and yet it affects both blacks and whites disproportionately. Why is that? Because it needs heavy police enforcement to combat it. A gangbanger couldn't care less about your "social worker".

I really like this. At least for the nspawn case, systemd as of 242 supports loading containers from OCI images directly, but still doesn't seem to support OCI hooks or have a runc-compatible CLI, which were the other two outstanding issues identified by Poettering before it could be considered a true drop-in replacement for running container bundles loaded from OCI images.

As for just using systemd and not nspawn at all, that seems useful for a lot of cases, but not multiplexing of networked services since systemd can't assign UNIX domain hostnames and IP addresses to individual services. At least, I think it can't, can it?
Small businesses typically have exceptions carved out (i.e. rules don't apply to companies under 50 employees).

The way you read this is - hey, we shouldn’t require voter ID.
The way I read this is - holy sh*t, the government must rush and make sure all these people can get an Id easily (has nothing to do with voting).

I think there is actually an obvious good compromise here - Require Id for voting if and only if 99.5% (should be set by specialists) of county’s population has an Id. If the county doesn’t meet this threshold (I’d imagine most poor and republican counties) - don’t require it until it meets the threshold. Obviously people not being able to get an Id is somewhat an urgent problem that needs fixing.
