The downvotes on this site have gotten insane. This is a perfectly rational comment. Whether you agree with them or not, just burying your hand and refusing to acknowledge that a nontrivial percentage of workers oppose mandates is just asinine. Boneheaded authoritarianism.

If you ever wondered how horrors like the soviet union and nazi germany are possible, take a look at the religious groupthink that has seemingly consumed multiple first world democracies, over a virus with a 99% survival rate. Suddenly americans are cheering on censorship and authoritarianism and refuse to question their mass hysteria; it's high time you paused and asked yourselves if you're the baddies.
I don't understand how reasonably smart people can trust that someone on the other end of this would not be fake like in this case or be genuine but someone else on the other end of the chain won't be a double agent and sell the information back to the host country. They are lucky to be in US, in the vast majority of the world this would result in summary executions.
https://www.baltimorecityschools.org/setting-the-record-stra... under "March 9, 2021"/"We do not have the 4th highest per pupil spending in the US" points out:

> There are more than 13,000 school districts in the nation; Baltimore ranks at about 2,400 in per-pupil spending in the overall group. ...

> Baltimore’s spending is comparable to other Maryland districts but falls short of adequacy when factoring in the composition of the district’s student population ...

> o Baltimore has the highest concentrations of students in poverty and the highest percentage of students with disabilities in the state.

> o By the state’s own analysis, City Schools should have received $290 million more each year under the current formula.

> o A state-commissioned report indicates the district needs $358 million more to ensure adequacy for the city’s students.

On average, disabled students cost more to educate than non-disabled. Without knowing the distribution of students types in Baltimore City vs. private schools, a simple head-to-head comparison is meaningless.

Finally, you didn't give a simple head-to-head comparison.

You compared costs for the public school (funding / number of students) with tuition (funding by students).

Private schools may also receive funding through other means, eg, state-funded scholarships, or subsidized use of public resources like land and buildings.
JS startup time also includes parsing the code and (initially) running in a very low-optimization mode, usually a bytecode interpreter, while the VM gathers profiling data in preparation for later JIT compilation of hot spots. This can be a serious hit to page load times even when all scripts are cached.
"Moreover, if leaking the manual really puts the lifes of the crew at risk, would not leaking also put lifes at risk, i.e. the one of the people fighting the tanks?"

Thats the point. No military is interested in making it easier for its enemies to fight you.

And with irregular conflicts, you cannot assume everyone knows everything anyway. If you would have to fight this tank for real, don't you think, you want any information possible? Weak spots, sensors,.. or even getting enough knowledge to take over the tank. Military secrets have their reason, no matter how you judge the stance of said military.
What does Israel paying above market rate to "go to the front of the line" or Japan "paying for doses" have to do with whether other countries are donating doses to impoverished nations?

> do you have links to authoritative original sources on this (e.g., not a news organization

...What. The. What.
Is this taking into account the fact that more countries use euro as a currency? Or is this x5 because 50% of that is from there being more countries in eurozone?
Which countries are you referring to that have been prevented from purchasing doses and are only allowed to accept donations with strings attached?
I think it's now pretty obvious from your lack of reply to my responses to your questions that you didn't actually care to have your questions answered.
The tweet you linked is an account that's linked to at least one disinformation farm.

Think about it for two seconds, if that really happened, there would be hundreds of witnesses, everybody would be talking about the flight number, there would be cell phone videos and corporate social media responses. None of those things exist, so either everybody on the plane, the airport, and all their friends and relatives are in on the conspiracy except this one bot account, or they're making shit up to stir up conservatives, which is what they've done all day every day since joining the site in January 2017.
Wat? Won't Chrome allow this at all (eg when entered via the URL bar, as long as there's one, that is) or just when linked from a non-same domain page?
What do you mean by blocked? They don't want to pay because they want to get them for free? Or is there some supply problem where sellers refuse to sell to them?
Nope, it's how short-haul single-aisle aircraft are operated. They make money only when operating a flight, and the more you can squeeze in a day, the more money it will make.

That's why their life in years is usually significantly lower than medium/long-haul multi-aisle aircraft, which often get converted to freighters after retirement, since the main thing that matters is number of pressurisation cycles ( and fuel efficiency, but it's whole different story).
All it takes is one large drone with a briefcase nuke to take out everything. Or if they wanted to do it more covertly with a more plausible cover story, a weather balloon. It wouldn’t even have to take out the infrastructure with physical damage, the EMP from the airburst detonation from anywhere in the vicinity (5-500km up, although directly above at 1-5km would be ideal) would be enough to fry most circuits in the complex.

So something like this would be eminently possible for any sufficiently-motivated nation-state coughCHINAcough to pull off.
Southwest Airlines, passengers claim different causes for cancellations https://www.khou.com/article/news/national/southwest-airline...

> The nationwide cancellations came as the airline announced Monday that the company will now require employees to get the COVID-19 vaccinated by Dec. 8.

> Some customers said they were told the cancellations are a direct result of the vaccine mandate.

> “I asked them specifically 'is this about weather' – because if it’s about weather, they can deny compensation. They said 'no, it’s not about weather.' I said 'is this about maintenance?' They said 'no, it’s not about maintenance.' I said then 'what is the problem?'" passenger Ron Frank said. “They said this is all because of the vaccine mandate. They said we had a massive walkout. They also said that air traffic control had a massive walkout because of the vaccine mandate. But to couch 1,000 cancelations because of a thunderstorm somewhere is not believable.”

I'm interested in learning more about this! Any recommended readings for how Post-Keynesians address stagflation? It's my understanding that that's one of the economic phenomena that could not be explained within Keynes's theoretical framework.
No, you absolutely can. Priests are "qualified" through reading religious texts of dubious validity. If anything, they should be trusted less.

I don't know if it's even possible to answer whether a god exists, but it's quite easy to find the flaws in religious stories, and if anyone can answer that question, it's certainly not them.

I think the point here is that Play Store and the App Store have no requirements for public source code accountability so there is simply no way to know if a given app binary is safe or not.

Even an open source app on these stores can't be provably correlated to published source code and could have undocumented deviations at any time.

Put simply, there is no reasonably accountable privacy story on stock iOS or Android. You mostly just have to take each publishers biased word for it and that the permissions systems alone covers every potential way an app can abuse your trust.
>These two sentences cannot simultaneously use the same meanings of the words "supply" and "demand".

The second sentence is technically incorrect. During a bull market, demand is increasing relative to supply. (If supply was decreasing relative to demand, prices would increase, but that would not be a bull market)

>What is the maximum loan?

The GP comment I credited described the "maximum amount of loan" as a function of buyer income and interest rate. Obviously, the house is sold to the highest bidder.

In a hot market, the average price of real estate will approach the largest mortgage available to the average winning bidder (plus some quantity of household wealth).
This is not complicated.

Giving people money not to work results in more money and less production. But there's a bunch of people with money, so demand is higher than it'd otherwise be.

Kubernetes provides a standardized way to deploy application artifacts to multiple servers, and handles monitoring, logging, process management, storage, networking, security, isolation, high-availability, rolling deployments, and other concerns in a industry-standard way that is portable across providers.

It's just software that runs your software. You can't remove complexity, only abstract it. Instead of using Chef/Puppet/systemd/hand-written scripts and a bunch of other tools to run and monitor your processes, you can replace all that with K8S.

> "used only at large companies with large teams"

Actually it's even more useful with smaller teams and let me, as a team of 1, deploy a global ad platform running billions of requests a day across hundreds of servers in multiple regions. Don't mistake lack of knowledge and experience as a problem with the tool.

> "pay some provider to do it for them"

Yes, you should use a managed K8S offering. Using K8S doesn't mean you have to install and operate it from scratch.
Here we go with prop 13 again. What happens when you give county policians more money. They spend it on pet projects.

I guesss we need to relive history in order to fully get it?

Ask anyone who lived in CA knows how rediculious those bi-yearly tax bills were. Every year it was more. Their was a good reason Jarvis was Made as Hell.

Even now, the waste, and obsene county salaries I hear about is troubling.

Personally, I would like to see property taxes lower.

Exactly this. I wasn't rendering any opinion on the vaccine, I was simply stating that many people consider it to be dangerous and/or unnecessary, which is why some are pushing back. Others are simply against the mandates and not the vaccines. Regardless, some people are apparently very upset, given that a big chunk of our nation's transportation infrastructure is currently not operating.
Privacy is terrible on all stock Android phones, even first party from Google.

All ship with piles of binary blobs mandated by Google, SoC vendors, and carriers that have god access to your device, as well as any entities they sell that access to, and this sort of power abuse has been caught publicly many times.

Apple has been caught doing similar in the past but it is much harder to regularly audit closed platforms.

Unless you run something best effort like CalyxOS or GrapheneOS you should not have any reasonable expectation of privacy on a handset.

And not less ideas that could improve usability of existing ones, like conditionals, loops and self-reference in object literals,

{

for (x of values) set {[x.name]: x},
b: thisob.x,
c: {d: thisob.c},
}

enhanced data transfer,

dest.{a, b, [key]} = src

default values,

var x = arg ?? 1

optionality and mandatoryness,

var x = f?(…)?.info![key] ?? "<not found>"

scope objects and flow control in these,

function foo(a=1, b=2) {
scope bar {
let c = 3
scope {
let c = 4
log(a, b, bar.c, c)
baz(scope.this) // a, b, c, bar
baz(scope.arguments) // a, b
break bar

function environments,

global.{*} = {a:1, b:2}
var t = proxify({a:3, b:4}, global)
withenv (t) foo() // 3 4

function foo() {
console.log(a, b)
}

and so on. It seems everyone jumps on to “new same language” train when there is so much to do in what’s already not done.
Why is it that every time something bad happens lately it can usually be traced back to massses of people refusing to take a life-saving vaccine in the middle of the deadliest global pandemic we've had in centuries??

This level of mass dilusion hasn't been seen since humans invented religion! Nothing this big happens without someone in the background pushing it, but WHY? I know our local antivaxxers are supported by alt-right and nationalist groups, but even that doesn't explain what their motive is. But globally? Who does this benefit??
Great chart. The items with constant or decreasing prices are made overseas by people that cannot afford them. This is not a healthy balanced system.
But requirements change, so upgrades are a normal part of business, due to at the bare minimum legal reporting requirements changing, even if there weren't all sorts of new things like internet banking making their old APIs inadequate.

If the software isn't extendable or changeable then it isn't 'working fine', because if you can't offer internet banking or do FATCA reporting you go out of business or get shut down.
Power over others is not intrinsically bad. It is an utter fact of nature. In some sense having power over others is neutral.

What is also true is there are those who are weak.

And everyone will have some little power at least, and some amount of weakness.

While Marx thinks it is only used to oppress, that is just what he would do with it. I’d say for every person there is an amount of power they can wield for good, and past that they will use it to oppress.

The most wicked can’t even use their smallest bits of power for good. The best of us at some point would start to use our power to oppress.

There is no neutral ground though, you will use your power (be it physical, emotional, sociological, spiritual), to oppress the weak, or to lift them up.

Because in order to have power in one area (e.g. you’re highly educated, speak well, or wealthy), there is someone else who must be weak (uneducated, stammers, or poor).

To say power is intrinsically bad, is to say being weak is intrinsically bad, because being weak means someone else has power over you. “blessed are the meek” is true, but that is because someone powerful took the side of the weak, and defends them.

The problem today is we have a ruling aristocracy, and they’re not noble and good, but oppressive and evil.

So considering that "people are not defined by group identity", how do you justify "redistributing resources and position based upon group identity" as right?

Sounds a bit unfair and unequal to redistribute someone’s assets and resources due to an equity group identity marker that makes no sense.

> Do you understand what the problem is with your approach to argument that I have criticised you for repeatedly?

I can definitely be less complex in my explanations and less verbose. The line of thought here seem more effective, I’ll probably repeat that in the future to get past the critical social justice habit of using a Motte and Bailey tactic deceptively.

I don’t know if you did it consciously or in error, but the Motte is supposed to be compatible with the Bailey and not something entirely different.

I think you fell into the trap of CSJ apologists to rely on redefined common terms that sound more moderate to non-believers, but isn’t. If I redefine “apple” to mean “lemon” that doesn’t make it any less bitter.

Do you see this problem in the argument you have been making?
I’m always taken aback by the extreme verbal aggressiveness in letters like these. And then ending it with “Very truly yours”, as if it was a love letter or something. Shameful.
Why don’t countries with no vaccines develop and produce their own? Ah, that’s right, because they don’t have cutting edge pharmaceutical industry. Now, isn’t it an interesting coincidence that cutting edge pharmaceutical industry exists precisely in those places where most profit is to be made on drugs?

A very basic datasheet for the M51516 can be found here:

https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/635283/ETC/M51516L/1

The dual capacitor on the output isn't really needed and it just filters out more bass sounds since essentially there are two capacitors in series.
It seems who drawn the circuit adapted it from the stereo version without much thinking.
Actually there should be no need for output capacitors at all if the internal amps are well balanced, but that should be checked with a multimeter before removing them. Good thing the Zobel network wasn't omitted, but there should also be some good capacitive decoupling on the chip supply lines to avoid motorboating and other noises.

Anyway, to get the right supply voltage the best approach is to raise +Vcc through a switching step up regulator rather than using a charge pump negative supply as they can't give the necessary current.

I probably have a few of those chips in a drawer, iirc they're used in some HAM radio equipment from the 80s, but if I had to repair a circuit using them, I'd solder a small cheap Class-D module in place of the chip since they're a lot better in pretty much everything. Probably not the preferred solution for restoring old games boards though.
Explosion would require a degree of air fuel mixture so that the reaction can go quickly. The vapor from evaporation of the oil could explode but not a million barrels of oil itself. So the number may have been used to conjure up a misleading picture if the intention is to emphasize the magnitude of a possible explosion. That being said, oil spill and uncontrolable fire are all very real risks, just not as exciting as explosions.
So, as with nearly everything, it's application-specific which one you should choose. Grand.
2300 billion pumped to "save the stock market"
(Probably much more https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/29/federal-r...? ) while 400 billion to give people some money for food ( https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/26/stimulus-checks-how-congress... ).

Are the prices increasing since the hedge funds are investing there (after exiting normal stock market), or because suddenly people started to eat more?

Central banks just gave a lot of empty money to the rich: central bank is now holding thr bag of overpriced stock, while the rich exited and invest in resources.

This you wont even learn in advanced econ lessons, because actions of central banks are barely questioned.

Do you truely belive that poor people suddenly started to eat more?

Other reasons can be a drop in production (e.g. due to Brexit nobody wants to do bavk braking farm work), rising population and aspirations (people from third world also want smartphones, cars and good food), biofuel - which means less area used for food production.. but no, people who received some stimulus chcecks suddenly started to eat more.
