Oh no, a loss of context! Anything but that.

The student offered to speak personally to anyone offended. Talk. Like adults do.

Instead the administration tried to bully him and threaten his career unless he apologized for being racist, a claim based on the absolute flimsiest of pretenses.

Good for him not caving. Nonsense like this needs to be challenged.

Not really that convincing imo.

They assume that since high gdp = high life expectancy, short term gdp fall = deaths. I don't think it follows that short term gdp trends would have the same effect as long term.

I'm not saying the article is neccesarily wrong (i have no idea), just that the argument was not compelling.
Yeah it's a real golden era for the hobby, if you ask me. By my reckoning one can have an objectively excellent system for a small/medium residential room for well under $700. The primary difference between that a more capable system would be the horsepower required to achieve the desired SPL levels in larger spaces and/or reproduce recorded material with a large dynamic range.

Even casual consumer gear is getting better these days. A lot of these little home speakers (HomePod mini, etc) put out some pretty reasonable sound: tonally correct, low distortion, etc. The objectivist approach is trickling up as well as down.

but real progress is being made towards
non-trivial questions like how one should
measure the performance of headphones and
speakers, what the ideal actually is, and
what deviations from that ideal make the
most difference.

Amen. If anything, the objectivist community might actually veer too far into objectivity at this point, lol. Lots of nitpicking over small differences that show up in measurements but are certainly inaudible.

I think the next frontier is a stronger correlation between measurements and listener preference/audibility. We know that better-measuring gear sounds better. But the correlation between better measurements and listener preference is far from linear.
Hi. Have we met or something?
Oh, the venus project. A decade ago, back in 2009, I tried to get involved with this with a group of friends.

We had formed our own branch, so we reached out to them as a means of cooperation. We were threatened with legal action. We opted to be transparent and call them, and we got an extremely rude and unprofessional individual on the other side of the line who continued to be uncooperative and threatened more legal action. Well, that was the end of any cooperation.

It was for the best though, I was more naive back then and it was good to learn how two-faced an organization can be.

I don’t follow your logic here. Every paragraph has questionable claims, but the last one is most glaring to me.

You are hand-waving that delinking from global supply chains somehow magically fixes the issue (I don’t see how it’s relevant to the Southwest article) and that it only reduces megacorp profits.

Local doesn’t mean resilient. Local options must have their entire supply chain local in order to be maximally resilient. But now you are talking about removing a fundamental feature of capitalism: comparative advantage.

It is 100x more expensive to run a labor-based factory on the San Francisco peninsula than it is in the cheaper parts of East Asia. Cost of living, local talent, building and labor codes, etc all vary and contribute to costs. When a widget is made in SFBA for 50x the cost of the same widget with comparable quality elsewhere in the world, the risk of those one-in-a-century events means that the consumer is paying 10x more for most of their costs for the 99/100 years they don’t need the risk mitigation.

Also, your plan to delink cuts across the de facto way things work, so now you have to invent a way to convince Americans to pay 10x more for some obscure risk issue they will have forgotten about in 4 years. Are you adding massive import taxes/tariffs, outlawing imports, or do you just expect voluntary compliance?

And that's just the Texas Medical Center.

Recently I feel like I've seen a lot of articles on Covid strategy pros and cons that make it to the front page for a short while and then get flagged. And it's frustrating because I think usually the topic is worth discussing but the article is so blatantly biased that I flag it because I know it will just bring up the same flamewars I've seen again and again.

Just want to highlight I didn't feel that about this article at all, so thank you. Whether you agree or disagree (I think there are reasons to fall on either side), I feel like the article raised an important point in a fair manner that hasn't really been discussed much in a rational way.
My experience with the “Webpage tax” is every couple of weeks when I upgrade build tooling around one of my Webpack Workspaces, something somewhere silently breaks in the system outputs an exit 0 but with fundamental mistakes. Last week and experimental flag was implicitly enabled with a Webpage version upgrade that broke MiniCSSExtraPlugin (which why at v5 is this still a thing to output CSS as not JS?) and all of a sudden I had no styles. It's in the CHANGELOG for a minor version bump but running NPM/Yarn upgrade gave me a broken build, and trying to tweak my build scripts to find the problem, I got styles outputting but no JavaScript was built. And this has happened on multiple occasions every couple of weeks/months where minor version upgrades to plugins gave me an exit 0 broken build.

Parcel’s implicit plugin loading with node-gyp and randomly-dowloading-from-the-internet binaries system (rightfully) does not play well with Nix.

Considering I’m not even leveraging code splitting or many of Webpack’s advanced features, I’m now investigating the cost of switching to something built on esbuild to lessen my Webpack burden and get much better build performance. Honestly makes me miss Tup and Make as front-end tooling exploded with complexity.

The neuroscience of advanced scientific concepts
Ex 22:18, as I understand specifically (in the original text
not the English translations) uses a term that refers specifically to a woman who casts evil spells (which is pretty close to the common understanding of “witch” but not with the more general interpretation you have imposed on it.)

The OT, as I further understand, contains a number of different prohibitions of very specific magical practices in the source language, most of which are highly genericized in most English translations.

(There's also a specific enumeration of the parts of the Jewish law that remain in force for Christians in Acts 15, and most of the probibitions under discussion here don't fall within its scope.)

Covid and Age
I probably could have phrased that better.

What I mean is:

- vinyl is technically inferior to CD-quality digital audio, by a longshot

- one reason among others is: vinyl's noise floor is higher than CD-quality digital audio

- however, the "disadvantages" of vinyl are somewhat mooted by real-world listening and playback conditions. for example: the approx. 30-40dB noise floor present in many residential rooms. that environmental noise floor is going to mask a lot of vinyl's flaws, rendering them somewhat irrelevant in the real world.

I'm going to guess the source you checked is the one that also says the election was stolen, and that masks don't work because a chiropractor in california said so.

But I'll explain to you why your redneck source says "92 cents" without actually knowing your source. You see, when you pay a dollar for federal spending - army, supreme court and congress salaries, federal roads - you know, what the whole country runs on at a federal level, you should not get that dollar back. Because it's spent on country-wide things.

What happens in the case of Texas according to your source, Texas gets all that money back for internal state issues. Like what I was talking about. While the rest of the states pay for all the country-wide things, like the army and NASA, and the economic stimulus, and federal unemployment aid. And covid research.

Now, North Dakota gets about $4 in welfare for every dollar they pay in. Delaware on the other hand gets only half of what it paid back. Because that half is for federal spending. Like the army and like a covid cure and the free vaccines, and hurricane aid, and FEMA.

So, if you take the federal spending, split it up to the states proportional by population, you get Texas, and every other red state, leaching money from the 11 states that pay for All federal spending, and in the case of Almost all red states, pay their welfare too.

But what your source did was pretend there is zero federal spending, then say "hey, texas is good guys - they're paying for everyone else, 8 cents on the dollar. All the army spending that Texans keep supporting and all the wars The Texas Bush started - that's for someone else to pay."

So, facts are indeed facts. You should acquire some, instead of obvious misinformation designed to fool only the dumbest of rednecks.

EDIT: and to respond to the dead trumpet comment. Racism is not accepted because a race is what we call a protected class. it's a physical characteristic of a group of people. Being a redneck is not a physical characteristic despite the word describing sunburn. Being a redneck is a violent purposely dense toxic behavior. And yes, when a certain group of people have a certain behavior, we name that group. Nazis for example. Violinists is another example. That's not bigotry. That's naming a group with bad behavior, and saying things about that bad group.

What I do find funny is you got offended when I spoke out against this suicide cult. Tell me, if I speak out against nazis, will you also take personal offense? No I wonder oh I wonder why someone takes personal offense when I'm talking not directly to them, but about a bad group of bad people. Hmm.
If I can do 10 of these, which would take a few minutes, I could cost a company $100. Which means, with the right tools for spoofing my identity, I could cost them $1000 an hour. If I spend a good work day on this, I could probably cost them $10,000.

If I convince 10 people to do this with me for a day, we could cost them $100,000. We might be able to cost them $1M in a week.
After enough time it’s simply swamped by random noise. Killing person X might avoid or cause WWIII.

That said, killing several million extra people without any forms of lockdown would have also had very serious economic repercussions. People would have started voluntarily staying home even if it meant quitting their jobs and thus presumably making them ineligible for unemployment insurance etc. Some stay at home orders might have actually minimized economic disruption, though we simply don’t know.
> You have to feel confident in your playing. Practice until it feels as natural as walking down the street. Never perform on stage anything that is at the peak of your abilities, always perform what is safely within your comfort zone.

There must be different types of stage fright... this ain't that. What I'm describing is uncorrelated with comfort/confidence in the piece. It's just a very strong physical response to the spotlight.

The advice that comes up often to control the physical effects (shaking, tight breathing): propanolol. Haven't tried it yet.
The majority of red states are welfare states. The majority of blue states are too. There are only 11 states that pay for All federal expenditures. What is even more interesting is that internal to the red states, their blue areas pay almost all the state income taxes, and while having a higher population get less votes for state officials. Because once those people are in power, they commit election fraud in every election from that point on. looking at pictures of the district lines in red states is hilarious.
My point is slightly different. I’m making the claim that those who serve vow to defend the constitution, and regardless of their personal choice, they are likely to dislike authoritarian mandates that go against civil liberty and the constitution.
All the code around you is crap, and only you are great and wise
> Write that test that you should have written. Cover that one edge case you know you blew off. Write that cleaner error message that you should have done in the first place. Pick off a single "FIXME" in the code. Write that comment explaining "why" you just wrote the code this way.

Yep. This is exactly the right way to go. Another great extra: One of the best devs I've ever worked with would find one bug at the end of the day, every day, and kill it. He'd pick based on how much time he had. One developer, killing one bug every day kills over 260 in a year. Oh, and as the bugs die, development accelerates because so much less time is spent on working around bugs.

If you work in an organization that doesn't value and promote those that do extra, find somewhere that does. Work doesn't have to suck... especially developing software.
I think this is supposed to be a dig at antivaxxers, I wonder if the author legitimately believes it’s a valid metaphor. Like if I advocated against private prisons and someone said “LOL this person says we should all live outside!”, the leap in logic is equally big
I'm thinking the Oxford definition was used here by the author (ie tricked into giving up a password):

"(in the context of information security) the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes."

I didn't really want to argue it any further as the issue was inflamed, but I absolutely think that when an account privilege was requested purely for "trivial thing A and we really really need it because think of the children", for it to then be used in the next breath for "evil thing B" - then what else is it but a more sophisticated social engineering attack? (I would certainly like to know if there's a better definition of it.)

For the benefit of the doubt there could very well be things going on in the background where the account access was discovered by someone else than those who requested it, and then jumped on the opportunity. However that's giving a fair bit of leeway.

False. I believe modern Linux desktop distributions mounts NTFS drives by for RW by ntfs-3g out of box.
Erlang processes are not OS processes. They are implemented by the Erlang VM using a lightweight cooperative threading model (preemptive at the Erlang level, but under the control of a cooperatively scheduled runtime). This means that it is much cheaper to switch context, because they only switch at known, controlled points and therefore don't have to save the entire CPU state (normal, SSE and FPU registers, address space mapping, etc.).
Erlang processes use dynamically allocated stacks, which start very small and grow as necessary. This permits the spawning of many hundreds of thousands — even millions — of Erlang processes without sucking up all available RAM.
Erlang used to be single-threaded, meaning that there was no requirement to ensure thread-safety between processes. It now supports SMP, but the interaction between Erlang processes on the same scheduler/core is still very lightweight (there are separate run queues per core).

Average working people are much better in the US than in USSR or Russia almost by any objective measure.
