I don't know what you're reading, but Thomas Jefferson High School is not in Fairfax. It's here in Alexandria. Fairfax would be half an hour drive for me and I live on the extreme, western edge of Alexandria. There's a whole, other city in between (Annandale). It'd be like saying something was in Brooklyn when it's actually in Queens.

Virginia is a weird state. Fairfax and Alexandria are classified as "independent cities", which exist in parallel to and outside of counties. There are only 41 independent cities in the US: Baltimore, MD; St. Louis, MO; Carson City, NV, and then 38 more in Virginia.

The signficance is that independent cities can't levy income tax, but have to pay for their own schools and roads. We make revenue through property taxes (not just land/houses, but also cars! That's a whole other story) and business licenses. The state then calculates how much it will contribute to our school funding based on our supposed "ability to pay".

Between property values and transit issues here, there are a likely more "property owners" in Fairfax than here in Alexandria. Alexandria is much more of a bedroom community for DC, whereas people in Fairfax spread more across NoVA for work. The state sees the higher property values in Alexandria, and our higher population, and thinks "oh, they are loaded, they don't need so much". But we're not. We're a town of renters. All the property is owned by DC and NYC property developers, which got sweetheart tax break incentives to build here.

You can readily see it when visiting. Fairfax's roads are nicer. Their public buildings are newer and larger. They have several, gorgeous, gigantic public parks with stuff like kiddie train rides around the perimeter. Fairfax is apparently rolling in cash. And Alexandria can't even fix a foot bridge across a 20-foot wide creek bed.

So we just don't have the money to fund our schools anymore. Hell, my own kid's school is one of the better ones in town and they can't even afford to have enough bus drivers and substitute teachers for the year. It's garden variety bad administration over the last 15 years, not anti-Asian sentiment.
> The others that even though they are vaccinated, can receive and transmit the virus to others.

I am a stuck record on this topic by now, but the word "can" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. You're making it sound like vaccinated and unvaccinated are equivalent, but they are not.

I can win the lottery. I can win a coin toss. But they are not equivalent, the odds are drastically different, so the risk management is different between the two cases.

There's more to it than "it can/cannot happen". it's not boolean. It's all risk mitigation, phrases like "80% vaccine efficacy" should tell you that we're not sith dealing in absolutes here.

it is simply pragmatic good sense to keep unvaccinated staff away from patients, because of the increased risk.
Come to think of it, it would be nice to bring back the iMac G4 form factor, or something similarly playful.
For those that are interested, PCs are much more affordable these days.
Facebook didn't start eating the small business site market until well after 2004. More like 2010 or later.

Some places that definitely would have a site otherwise, don't, but have Facebook instead. Some have a site but neglect it, so if you want current info you have to check their Facebook page. Others had sites and let them lapse because FB took over that role. Hell, the local public schools are like that, too. Have sites, send emails and texts and such, but FB is absolutely the best channel to get school & district news from.
Great question. Unfortunately, I doubt you will get a detailed answer about valuation in this thread since already, there is a disregard about something called 'competition' and other unknowns in the market that many commenters have totally ignored other than they know that SpaceX is run by Elon Musk and would immediately buy shares on IPO day, whenever that happens.

One certainty is that those private investors involved are already set to take some of their profits on IPO day which means they will dump some of the shares to catch out the retail investors immediately rushing to purchase SpaceX shares at very high prices.

Not saying you shouldn't buy at all, but keep in mind that institutional investors are there to make money and will get their return on investment and can/will manipulate the stock to make even more.
If you're going through the trouble of self-hosting something, why would you then outsource commenting to a company that sells your visitors data? Half the point of running your own platform is to get away from the nexus of dark patterns that have taken over the modern web, otherwise you might as well ditch Wordpress and run your blog on Facebook.
one can argue about how much of an exact science Tiobe or other indices are but Python definitely is everywhere and has continued to grow in a lot of domains. And I think deservedly so because to me it is by far the most pleasant and versatile general purpose language around. People have their legitimate gripes about performance but a language that is used for everything from scripting to gigantic industy scale applications (largest I'm aware of is a ~30 million LOC codebase at JPMorgan) has done some things right.
I once worked with a mathematician in a research group who said, "Multitasking destroys me". I did not know what he meant at the time, but I do now.

If your job is to be "on the bottom of things" doing careful calculations and designs, you should not multitask. But if your job is to be "on top of things", then you will have to.

Can't mix the two safely.

You do not want the engineer/architect calculating the load on a beam to be checking email, on slack, answering the phone and other "on top of things" tasks.

But some managers think you are a slacker if you are not running around with your hair on fire at all times. They don't understand the difference.
Honestly - I like ghost and setup was pretty straight forward. The personal blog was as much a sandbox and learning environment as anything else.

I'd be tempted to do Jamstack for it in the future and remove the Ngninx overhead all together (even if just to get rid of the ssl certificate side).
Depends on the type of boat and what you're doing on it. Personally I'm moving onto a sailing yacht next year and I'm planning on being quite nomadic, I'm installing masthead 4G and WiFi aerials and sticking to marinas and anchorages I know for certain have decent coverage until Starlink becomes available for installations like these (I think it might be a while before you can rely on them - the saltwater might be an issue even when they do have mobile coverage). While your options are currently very limited once you're out of line-of-sight radio range from the land, doing your day job on passage as well as having a watch would be pretty difficult anyway for practical reasons so I'm just timing my movements to coincide with annual leave and weekends. My aim is to see the world but slowly and steadily!

If you're on a canal boat or something along those lines you've got a lot better 4G coverage depending on what country you live in. Having said that, none of the canal boat dwellers I've spoken to have worked in tech and most of them commuted into cities so their need for fast and reliable internet wasn't as strong. I imagine permanently moored houseboats have decent WiFi links as well, though I've never really looked into that kind of thing.
I just want to say thanks, I have been experimenting with using xterm.js to connect to terminal API in jupyter notebooks and it has worked really well, plug and play (even editors like vim were working without any extra effort).

Before that I was experimenting with using it as a custom shell for running commands inside a web application. In that use case it was a bit more challenging because I had never written to an actual tty before (ansi escape codes for coloring log files has been about the limit of my experience). For that use case I just really needed to send and receive text. I ended up using this library [ https://github.com/wavesoft/local-echo ] to smooth that process out until I could learn about how to do things properly.

Are any suggestions on:

1. where to learn about how ttys work to do things the right way, or

2. suggested libraries like local-echo that can wrap over some of the trickier bits of just getting text on the screen?

Thanks again for maintaining such a great & useful library!

>it’s just going to make more hardline people. Someone should just send them a link to the three and five year safety data of these vaccines, fight misinformation with information.

Based on the statistics in the OP, and other reported successes (the US military has achieved over 95% compliance) it looks like these mandates are achieving the desired effect: more working adults are getting vaccinated. It seems as though the most effective tool at combating misinformation is not to try and talk over people spouting lies. Instead, it's to make vaccination a matter of workplace safety, which is difficult for even the scammers to dispute convincingly.

No definitely not assuming you can get out before the crash. I'm talking about longer term investors who see the Tether crash as temporary, not a permanent end to crypto.
In 2020 Stephen Martin-Pinto ran for Board of Supervisors (aka city council) in the West Portal district (District 7) but was rejected as a matter of course (since he’s Republican). As a candidate, he was refreshingly honest about his positions. However, I was disappointed that he did not favor adding a lot more housing to his district. But he tweets now.

In my previous job we made software for basically all the top MBA schools. I had a lot of talks with their program directors and they all made it clear that what they're selling is not an education but it is an experience and a networking opportunity. They made no secret of that whatsoever. So yeah, if you treat it like a networking opportunity you might still get value from it.
Yep. And actually provide some

alternatively, could another stablecoin take the place of tether, without any fundamental change in crypto trading volume?
One of the last times I went to SF with my wife for tourism, I was waiting for her outside of a Sephora shop in downtown (a very touristy area) while she made some shopping.

While I was standing just out of the shop, drinking from a bottle of water a huge guy (I'm 1.67m [5.47 feet] the guy was around 1.90m[6.2]) approaches me ands starts talking in unintelligible English. First I ignored him, but he got pretty close to me and started shouting. I kind of understood that he said something like "Im thirsty! I said I am thirsty, give me your water". It seems he was drugged or something... I got pretty scared, so I gave him my bottle and got into the shop.

Fortunately he did not follow me, but it was one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time.
Thanks again for all the explanation and the civil conversation. I guess the only things that stays a mystery for me is why the focus on race, especially when you said that they focus on poor people inside that group?
So... about a decade ago, a guy was found guilty and convicted to 5 years in jail for unauthorized computer access because he scraped a data from open website (see this for details: https://www.zdnet.com/article/jury-convicts-hacker-over-at-t... ). Can somebody explain to me, why isn't foundation guilty of the same crime? Clearly, they were given an access so that they install a bot, not to take over the project.

As long as the robot is human operated I don’t see an issue.

There is a volunteer organization called Radio Lollipop that operates at certain children’s hospitals. They run a radio program for the kid and visit their rooms bringing arts & craft supplies (or sometimes just to chat). If you live near a participating hospital I highly recommend you join as a volunteer. I had an amazing time doing it.

However many of them had to be paused during COVID. A robot like this could help volunteers or paid staff visit kids safely until they can return. It is also great to help them reach rooms or wards they normally couldn’t
Spot on. I always ALWAYS ask about time off during interviews. But I don't ask the manager because I found they always try to stretch the truth or reframe shit.

I just ask the individual contributors how much PTO they've taken in the past 12 months. It's more or less an open question, doesn't necessarily means I'm interested in taking too much PTO. You'd be surprised of how honest people are. I had interviewees even start venting about burnout. Someone from an e-commerce company (not Amazon) told me he's gonna take a month off as he took 0 vacation days for the past 1.5 years (!!!). He admitted he's probably going to get in trouble but he doesn't care anymore.
That seems like a fairly straightforward question to settle experimentally, using advanced scientific apparatus like a bag over the head.
I think I'm a little confused as to what differentiates "JAMStack" from modern decoupled architectures. My website starts up a Go web server and then serves the output of Nuxt. The backend was primarily generated using an OpenAPI generator and uses decentralized auth (JWT/JWE). The backend seems to align to what https://jamstack.org calls a "headless CMS" other than the fact that the editor is built into the frontend in the same decoupled fashion.

One thing I'm not too sure on is, can a frontend served from a CDN do SSR? It became pretty apparent over the course of developing my blog that hybrid CSR and SSR was optimal.

Cashing checks is risky. The customer might not be who he says he is. The check might be fraudulent or it might simply bounce. By its nature the business has to keep lots of cash on-site, which means armored trucks to move it in (or risky trips to the bank) and insurance (or just taking the risk.) And of course there's rent to pay, salaries, etc.

Banks face these same risks but they have other things to make up for it: they've already identified their account holders and they have long-term relationships with them. They also have their account holders' money, and can simply seize it if the check has problems. Also, their customers do not actually cash most of the checks they deposit, so there's less need to move cash around.

All of that aside, if you think the check-cashing fees are so egregious and unacceptable, it seems there is a business opportunity waiting for you. Apparently if you open your own check-cashing place that charges fair fees that are so much lower than 2-3%, the business will come rushing in yet you'll still be profitable in light of the egregiousness of 2-3%, so what are you waiting for?
There are ways to make accessible CAPTCHAs. It's possible to not discriminate against Tor users unless somebody's attacking the site from Tor. Cloudflare does neither of these things.

Cloudflare's CAPTCHA is now hCaptcha, which uses Cloudflare. If you want to get an “accessibility token” (or whatever) to bypass the inaccessible CAPTCHAs, you may have to first complete CAPTCHAs.
Defense spending as a whole is north of $700 billion a year. But the Space launch market is obviously much smaller, but it is expected to increase at a pretty fast pace.

My anecdata to the contrary. I feel like I've spent about 6-8 hours of my day on average, playing videogames for the past >20 years (I know, healthy, right?), and even during gameplay I still think of all the worst embarrassing moments at school and the shit one of my parents put me through, and the mistakes I've made at work... No doubt games have a suppressive effect pretty often, but whatever my mental process is, those memories always end up floating right back to the surface.

I think I'd add 2 suggestions (not a scientist, but I think they're worth considering):
1) it matters whether your mind is fully engaged in the game, or you have some room to bring in these shitty memories (for example, I played quite a few idle games, or MMOs that involved a lot of waiting) and 2) if you still find yourself reliving this shit during gameplay, maybe you're better off seeking other escapes (*let's not get destructive though, ie cocaine/heroin/meth), or doing productive things (sublimation in psychology) and slowly tackling this problem yourself using gradual accomplishments, building your confidence, breaking down events one piece at a time, etc.
I have this, and it was a running joke when I was a kid. "remarkEon - what way is North?" and I'd always get it right. I think it's just good spatial awareness - nothing magical or any special sensitivity to magnetic fields. For example, I still get turned around after exiting the subways in New York on occasion (who doesn't).
you moved during COVID times where most people still not on roads. I guess when things become normal, you would see actual issue. Just wait for few more years before you can start complaining the heat, traffic & cost of living. Especially if you want to live in an area with good schools!
That seems obviously untrue as well. The business world runs on Excel. Before Amazon, shipping so cheap and so fast was unimaginable, not to mention being able to find anything, anywhere. SpaceX is making getting stuff into orbit possible again after a very long time. Despite the fact that ads suck, Google has created a ton of value in my life. All of this stuff is far from perfect, but it's definitely value.
> law prohibits companies from requiring employees in California to sign non-disclosure agreements that bar them from speaking about illegal harassment and discrimination.

If I understand this correctly, NDAs can still require them to stay silent about other illegal acts, just not harassment or discrimination?

In my opinion, we should take the opposite approach - NDAs should be limited to a whitelist of topics, and including anything else in the NDA text should not only be unenforceable, but prosecuted as an illegal attempt at intimidation of less legally-savvy employees.
>So what are the risks of unvaccinated people again?

The data is clear that unvaccinated people are at least 5X more likely to contract and spread COVID-19[1]. So the fewer unvaccinated people in the workplace, the less likely an outbreak becomes.

> Also, dissent is being amplified with software, which itself is not conscious. Being more conscious of your points will help matters. Not being more conscious of your points will help accelerate the madness.

The parent is clearly accusing me of not being conscious of my opinions, and this person doesn't know me so this is an assertion (s)he can not principally make. So how do you interpret what he/she refers to with conscious if it is not ideologically driven by critical social justice (CSJ)?

My impression is that this person is an adherent of CSJ. In general adherents to CSJ tend to drop essential qualifiers, so that they can use the Motte-and-Bailey [1] rhetorical trick of arguing a more radical position (Bailey) and then when challenged defend a more moderate position(Motte).

The CSJ adherents liberal individual Motte is not compatible with their group-based Bailey, it is purely a lie to provide cover until resistance has abated, and in general accusing someone of not being conscious simply because they agree with you is completely 100% unacceptable behavior. Especially if your viewpoints could have been spewed by a bot programmed to believe in CSJ. ;)

There's another approach which works surprisingly well: If you use Nginx and PHP FPM you can utilize Nginx FastCGI cache [1] to cache dynamic contents. That even allows serving a stale version of an asset while fetching an up-to-date version in the background, avoiding the occasional slow requests for expired items.

With such a cache enabled Wordpress sites feel like they're static pages, while they still offer all features Wordpress offers.

Here is an example for a tutorial on how to configure that for Wordpress: https://easyengine.io/wordpress-nginx/tutorials/single-site/...
