And guess what the blindingly obvious difference is for those children and babies that get their different vaccines? That it's fucking voluntary. It's a decision made by their parents or guardians based on their own health and risk criteria, with no authoritarian travel restrictions based on ambiguous science and apparent corporate cronyism thrown in on top of the situation. This is very different from what's being enforced now in Canada (and a number of other countries) for the COVID vaccines. That the government is blatantly doing this "for your own good" is revolting but unsurprising. That so many people who used to be proud of their country being a relatively free place applauding it is simply grotesque.

If the excessive hysteria comes from anywhere, it's from regulatory bodies, politicians and supportive members of the public who are using this pandemic as an excuse for measures that most people would have flatly rejected in other circumstances. 99.4% of the population recovers from Covid normally, young people are barely touched by it compared to the mortality rates for so many other things, and despite the really vulnerable segments of the population being largely protected at this point, and having easy access to said protection, now no matter your age above 12, you're essentially forced to comply with something that no government should have a business of imposing like this. Piss off.
Is there a difference in how passengers are compensated for a "weather" delay vs job action? I've heard lots of anecdotes about airlines blaming weather so they don't have to pay compensation, but have no idea if it's true.
I would love if there was something like "Alpine Linux from scratch", i.e. using musl libc instead of glibc, busybox instead of GNU coreutils, etc.
In the US a of our food safety practices are set very strict to compensate for unsanitary industrial agriculture practices. We just expect eggs to be filthy so we wash off the outer shell unlike Europe and Japan where eggs can sit at room temp. So this guy who eats locally from known farms is a lot safer eating raw food. On the other hand its never 100% as even Japan occasionally has salmonella outbreaks from chicken sashimi, and US raw milk farms occasionally have listeria out breaks.

Samsung is a major supplier for Apple. SoC fabrication, screens, RAM, NAND. Samsung is a conglomerate of many companies. They’ll happily sell you components while competing in the smartphone market with you.

Well I have trouble taking advice from you, because you're obviously not a real sim racer: you haven't even told me to buy a wheel.
That’s the problem with tech giants. They tie you into a mediocre environment that makes it easy to use mediocre products . My company is using MS Teams because it comes with Office. But when you start to use it you quickly realize how bad it is.

We would be much better off if we had more small tech companies instead of giants like Apple, MS and Google.
If you are the FBI, like in this case, admitting your part would not be much of a hurdle - unless you crossed over into entrapment territory, and even then the agent wouldn't go to prison for entrapment.
A lot of these are at such a terrible level that they should be treated like cigarettes were.

Eventually society learns that they're bad and avoids them, but it usually takes a generation. We were faster to build immunity to things like clickbait and frankly we're doing decent with porn.

Diet has been incredibly resilient though. I've tried Frosted Flakes for breakfast last week and I'm surprised how damn much sugar is in there. It's literally 1/3 sugar and some people eat that every day.

My kids actually want to eat broccoli for breakfast, though. So I think the next generation is building up some immunity to junk food, but it's slower than everything else. We're seeing a lot of changes with the sugar tax though and even without that, soda companies have been dumping lots of R&D into healthier food choices.
It's definitely different depending on the state. In part because some states issue more teaching certificates per year. Michigan is one of those. At the time I was teaching, in around 2017, I had a friend get a job in Novi (Metro Detroit). The competition was pretty intense. See for example, [this posting](https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/novi-community-s...) which had over 900 applicants.

It took me over a year after graduation to get a job, and I had applied to over 130 postings. I ended up finally getting a job in an inner city school.

The situation could very well have been very different in Chicago, though, depending on a lot of factors.
You wanna wait to see additional context. Sometimes allegations are completely made up, sometimes there's an alternative explanation that isn't obvious.

This is a sting not entrapment. Entrapment is where they force someone to commit a crime against their will then arrest them for it. Enticing or baiting them to commit a crime is how you prevent bad people from committing real crimes.

The Jan 6 insurrectionists and Charlottesville white supremacist mob were acting of their own free will at every step of the way. They were not induced or threatened except by the president. We don't know about any informants among the crowds and even if there were some that doesn't constitute entrapment at all.
> Third from the left in 1955.

I stand corrected - he was dissapeared in the 60s.

> I said, which is primarily about how the US backed it's own military dictatorship in South Korea.

The US "backed" an illiberal government with 300 soldiers.

Meanwhile North Korea set up concentration camps, exterminated monks, executed "class enemies", those with property, priests, and nuns, and engaged in forced collectivization of land as part of widespread destruction of civil society -- all prior to the North's invasion of South Korea.

Somehow you are trying to create a moral equivalence between a Stalinist dictatorship in North Korea with many concentrate camps in it, and South Korea - which although it is illiberal by modern standards, was by far more free and humane than anything on the Korean peninsula in the history of that land. Then you are arguing that the US "supported" the South because of these 300 American soldiers. Meanwhile the North had over 100,000 PLA and Soviet troops and hundreds and tanks and fighter aircraft. From this, you conclude that the North did not invade the South, as historians say, but that the US actually invaded Korea.

Look, I know which Chomsky pamphlet you are getting this stuff from and it is an Orwellian reading of history. The 300 US soldiers is not an "invasion" of Korea by the US, and there is no comparison between the North and the South in the arena of human rights or freedom.
Sounds like the US doesn’t even need to spy on foreign mail, as long as it’s common knowledge that it does ;)

It’s referenced in the article.
It's just a baseless rumor as far as I can see. SW says there's a staffing problem at "one location in florida," and blames weather otherwise. Meanwhile at least the SW pilot's union says "our pilots are not participating in any official or unofficial job actions." Union goes on to say the disruption is because of SW's "bad management."

Given that the people who are ostensibly striking have yet to say anything, I think that no one is striking or walking out.

Don't need to read too far into it as none of the other US based airlines didn't have any weather or FAA related issues over the weekend.

I'm still reading, but it looks like the key point in gaining Toebbe's trust to do a physical dead drop was the FBI dropping some physical signal in a nation's embassy or other location associated with them:

>During the weekend of May 29-30, 2021, the FBI conducted an operation in the Washington, D.C. area that involved placing a signal at a location associated with COUNTRY 1 in an attempted effort to gain bona fides with “ALICE.”

This makes me wonder if, as some are speculating, COUNTRY 1 is some US ally. Maybe the US had some cooperation in the investigation. It also makes me wonder who they haven't caught, if anyone. Nuclear proliferation is a scary idea....
Plea deals for espionage cases are common. Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, Jonathan Pollard, and John Walker took plea deals.
Something I really like about watching Andreas work is that he is so comfortable working and talking very clearly through the process. He is at least as proficient as I am when I'm just working, and with the added overhead of talking through your thought process that is rather impressive. It feels like just watching him work improves my own thinking.
The issue is a bit more complicated in real life. It’s almost impossible to do anything without some kind of trail, as you can see in the indictment. If you’re an intermediary in some way, or even just know about it and then don’t tell the source county, and then the source country finds out? Holy moly the blowback will be incredible. If you were a nominal ally? Even more so!

You’ve seen the level of hell leveled against Assange and Snowden, you could expect the same but against the whole country.

And you don’t know for sure that the source country doesn’t already know this leak is happening too and it isn’t setup to figure out who their friends are either, because that also happens.
The alleged staffing problem was with air traffic control, not Southwest employees.
I saw a similar claim in the comments of the tweet. Not knowing any southwest employees, I'm not sure how to go about either validating or invalidating the assertion.

It's in the air though, so I'll reserve judgement until we have more info.

To the contrary, the southwest pilots union (SWAPA) is explicitly saying these delays are not caused by vaccine protests, despite their continued opposition to the mandate.

> For most of our crowd, this is not an issue.

I'm getting rid of my phone. I've been leaving it at home for a few months now. I have an old school GPS in my car, but don't need it anyway. It feels nice to exercise my spatial senses more now. I have also lowered the rate of interaction with everyone I know, and just wait until I get home, and mostly use my PC to chat and talk with people. Almost everything can wait.

Not sure I would recommend it, but it's more than possible, very refreshing, and I feel like a hipster again.
Double-hashing (peppered on client, salted on server) does have a modest benefit: the passwords are no longer sent in plain-text and cannot be cheaply intercepted by a passive eavesdropper (i.e. without observably tinkering with the data sent).

This often isn't considered worth the accessibility and maintenance costs of requiring the user to compute a hash (the threat model isn't exactly hugely concerning, especially to service providers, and is mostly obviated by transport encryption anyway) or the risk that somebody's going to come along and ask why we're hashing twice and rip out the server hash (very bad), but calling that "no benefits" is more or less lies-to-children.
MICE has a nice sound to it, because it's what makes people rat.
This makes me think about APIs that face a variety of queries (probably not e-commerce where patterns are more predictable but think internal warehouse) - some queries may be more "expensive" than others (e.g. they query data that touches a big percentage of the underlying data based on criteria where database index is not feasible). What if instead of allowing all requests to go to the API directly, we let them pass through a grader, "good" queries (say ones that are using indexed columns) get a higher "grade" and then we put the requests in a priority queue sorted by grades and descending time (so if grades are same, newer queries get processed first). That becomes the work queue. Interested to hear what people think about it / if someone is using something similar and their experience with it.
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz tweeted claiming it was because of the vaccine mandate. I haven't seen anything from reliable sources with direct knowledge saying it had anything to do with vaccines. There were FAA staff issues specifically with the Florida area.

https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/flight-delays-cancel...
The explanation of "weather and an FAA shutdown" doesn't make sense given that, according to the article, other airlines aren't experiencing this at all.

Oh, and for folks talking about a pilot protest against vaccine mandates, that theory is discussed at length toward the end of the article.
For me it was Slackware.
Someone reported on reddit that...

No idea if it's true or not though, and/or if that's the actual reason.
This post should not have been flagged. It is a completely valid criticism of Go. Author's tone could have been better but I'd rather hear straightforward opinions and not polished speech to offend those that cannot defend Go. Personally, I am a huge fan of Go but these are some valid points.

Wrong. They're all having similar issues. Flights cancelled constantly. It's a mess.
I saw Bob Dylan at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I don't know what else it would be given the current timing. POTUS went in front of everyone bragging how mandates worked and used airlines as an example. Obviously people will be against promoting this if true. We'll see I guess.

Seeing stories like this makes me wonder if we'll ever see a company actually go bust based purely on the instability of its decades-old, duct-taped architecture.

I have a relative who works for a large credit card processor running on mainframe systems and I hear over and over again that they're all retiring and unable to fill the newly opened roles. This problem is compounded by the fact that their offshore contracting firms are cutting back on providing COBOL resources because there's a lot more money in supplying java/.net/etc. devs. The work culture there sounds so unsustainable and yet they're one of the largest payment processors in the country. If they were have widespread stability issues like this, things could get interesting.
Whether that particular story is true or not, or whether it explains all of the cancellations, there is a kernel of truth in it.

My take on it. If it was a strike I think we'd hear about it in more definitive terms than rumor. That's the point of a strike, disruption and attention.
