I'd want to hear from the sellers - did it change their life? Folks sell a portion of their life to lots of taskmasters. I'm on a floor right now at a 'workstation' like all the others spending 8 hours fighting bad tools and faulty hardware, wishing I was out of this maze and back at home.
The US tried a 2-year experiment of eliminating Daylight Savings Time back in the 1970s, and it was so reviled in practice that it was cancelled after 7 months.
> As your link to the Liberalized policy states, 50% of the supply was being purchased by the Union, presumably to supply to the "poor" states.

No, that was meant for those above 45. At no point before the reversal did the Union government supply vaccines to states for vaccinating those under 45.

> I think the (only) Rs. 35000 crore budget should have made it clear that the government was not planning to inoculate everyone for free.

Government procures Covishield at Rs. 205 a dose. The adult population in India is about 100 crores. The budget is enough to cover the majority. Like the Supreme Court observed, the decision to exclude those under 45 was arbitrary and irrational.

> From Jan 16-Feb 28, India was inoculating only frontline workers and healthcare staff. For these AFAICT, the Union ordered 11 million vaccines in Jan[1], as you mentioned, and 14.5 million in Feb[2].

Again, SII was sitting on 50 million doses in January. Why did the government not procure them? Why did the government resort to piece-meal purchase orders? The US on the contrary ordered 300 million vaccines at once. This gave the manufacturers enough working capital to scale up production. SII did not get 3000 crore advance for the government till end of April. The shortage could have been mitigated if the government had done that in January.
Since the 1950s overall IQ has increased more than the current variation between states, so I assume you also disregard anything thought up pre-1950 for the same reason?
When the conversation starts with, "Let's ban anonymous accounts!", then enumerating points in favor of anonymous accounts is the right response.
The service in question is YouTubeTV, which is basically a replacement for traditional cable. Local channels, things like TNT, CNN, etc.

I had the service for a while, solely for local news. They bumped the price up a few times, and it was just too expensive at $65/month.

I ended up buying a Tablo device instead. A bit of fiddling with different antennas, but it works great. There is the up-front cost of ~$250 or so for the device, decent antenna, and hard drive. Then $5/month after that, or $10/month if you want the commercial skip. I'm happy with it. You can access it from a Roku app, so the end experience for local news is pretty much the same as it was with YouTubeTV.
It's more than a 100% improvement for me. I've taken thousands of rides, safely and easily, using a single app across countries and currencies without any major issue. It's also opened up travel in big cities and foreign regions that I wouldn't otherwise be able to do at all.

There's no alternative to this and it's incredibly valuable to many, even if you don't use it.
Honestly, from what I've seen, I would go out on a limb and say yes. At least not any worse than other bus or truck companies. After all, the buses are operated by third parties and those are employing the drivers. Back the day FlixBus had a policy of having two drivers on long rides and those over night, even when that wasn't a legal requirement. Not sure if that is still the case or not.
You can still use YouTube TV (The old leanback interface) if you set your user agent correctly to spoof Tizen Smart TVs. Works almost well enough with keyboard/controller navigation but some keys are mapped incorrectly.

I agree with you about COVID. In January, we had videos of China blocking roads that led to Wuhan, soldiers in the streets, people disinfecting the streets. At this point, I knew that it was probably going to be serious.
I care more about sunset than sunrise, so if people are proposing to get rid of DST instead of making permanent DST I will fight them tooth and nail.

I get that it's subjective, but my subjective view is that having sunlight after work is more important, and I stand by that.

The article that you linked mentions Polish _construction_ workers. I honestly doubt the areas next to the border would get you enough workforce to get you a mostly Polish staff - the border is 50min away and the closest cities are relatively tiny.

Or maybe the math somehow works out, but I doubt it.
Yes, for now, because that's all they need, but when they start looking for low/middle skilled workers I wouldn't be surprised if the mast majority of them will be Polish workers
By assuming a question is stupid, you throw yourself into a situation where you decide if you should risk reputation by asking, or by keeping your perceived reputation by not talking. Assumption upon assumptions, ultimately pointless waste of opportunities to move yourself or others forward who has the same questions and afraid to ask.

>The left doesnt really have any power in the US

Without debating whether the left has political power (hard to question when the administration and majority of house and senate are left leaning), there's no question that "the left" dominates our media and most of our institutions, and controls (often explicitly as with big tech) the boundaries of allowable discourse.
It's just Mastodon.

This is no different than when a cable company (usually temporarily) drops a major media provider due to failed contract negotiations.

The only difference here is that the specifics of the contract is being waved about in public to get ahead of customer fallout to losing access to the YouTube channel.

Everyone who is conscious is 100% aware that they are conscious. That is the only definition you need. Of course we can't know if others are conscious, but that doesn't mean the definition isn't easy to make. The hard part is tying this definition to physical properties, not the definition itself.
We know factually that there is computation, because we can observe it happening using wires inserted at the inputs and outputs. The burden is on people who insist there is something else besides computation. Thus far, no evidence means, exactly, no phenomenon, and nothing to be explained.
I identify with this situation but my feelings about it are a bit different, although not intentionally. This mirrors my general disconnect with the article.

In this situation I feel some anxiety or hesitation about asking these questions, but I don't feel it as a fear of appearing stupid. Instead the anxiety seems to come from worrying that I am annoying or offending everyone with questions about things that are obvious.

I have no way of knowing which question is going to reveal the problem, so I will need to shotgun questions. I know that some people that I work with get this completely and will cooperate. Others will get defensive or tune out, so I need to find a balance or tone to try to avoid that.

It is similar to when I did tech support as a teenager and someone would call with a problem, wanting a tech sent to their house. I would start asking questions about the problem and they would not want to spend 5 minutes going through a few steps to try to solve it over the phone. I never felt that they thought I was stupid, I just felt they were impatient. Maybe they did think I was stupid, but I was so sure that I could find the answer that I never considered that.
I think you’ve got that backwards - he wanted to only buy coverage for damage he did to other vehicles / people & not to cover his own vehicle.

However, sometimes, for some drivers, fully comprehensive insurance can be cheaper than 3rd party only for arcane internal insurance risk-accounting reasons. So by not letting his agent even look at the whole market he was cutting himself off from the possibility of cheaper insurance.
tough to write this press release without too much mention of the pandemic and its effect on the service (basically killing it in places like Canada). They claim in the US it helped during the pandemic but it's got to be only by a very thin thread holding on

Heh, I had the opposite problem.

I submitted an order, it popped up "503 Service Unavailable -- Try again" in the app. I tried again and it went through.

Food showed up, was just finishing up and they showed up and delivered it a second time. Checked and the order had indeed double-submitted two seconds apart, and I was charged twice.

Obvious error. It would have been a superhuman feat to submit the order, readd all the items to a new order, and submit it in two seconds.

I contacted support and explained what happened and they refused the refund because they had delivered the order, so I had to pay for it. "Thanks for understanding." No amount of arguing that this was obviously an issue with their app got anything out of them besides food showed up, you pay for food, "thanks for understanding".

Upside is I went from wasting probably a hundred bucks a week on ordering food to actually getting off my ass and walking somewhere nearby and picking it up myself for half the price.

> If you had to pay for those volunteers to maintain at a market rate, all that free stuff would be prohibitively expensive on a per user basis.

These "platforms" start out with an existing open source operating system (BSD or Linux) that already works and has done so for decades. Then they add some features to it that represent a relatively modest one-time modification to the work that has already been done, after which further necessary changes amount to primarily security updates.

Corporations often spend massive resources doing further rearranging on an ongoing basis, but nobody really needs or wants that. If you gave people the choice between the current version of a given platform or the version from 2009 but with security updates, most people would shrug and have no strong preference, if not prefer the older one.

But also, YouTube is a platform and it goes both ways. Why should anybody need a special deal to display a website on their device?

A customer put a blanket ban on goto because they decided to require MISRA 15.1 and want(need) to be compliant as well as having their own interpretation of MISRA. They also put a blanket ban on multiple returns (15.5).

While it is true MISRA does not intend a blanket ban on these (and a blanket ban is contrary to the rationale for these rules), it often leads to a blanket ban and when these two in particular happen together it leads to awful code. I've seen this from multiple customers in different industries.

I'm taking a better look at the sanitizer API before going on with this discussion.

But, pardon me, the proper way to render markdown in the browser would be to let the markdown converter output a node or element. The markdown converter, when doing the conversion, knows what to do, which part of markdown must be converted to what HTML element, and what should be inserted as textContent.

So I would imagine that when the markdown parser encounters

*** This is a section

writes something like:

var el = document.createElement("h3")
el.textContent = ...

so an element is returned by the parser at the end, not a string.

"Sanitizing" a string afterwards will either yield a safe (but possibly wrong) result, or a correct (but possible unsafe) result.

You cannot decide what is safe if you don't have context. Unless "safe" means something like "nothing that looks like a script". What then if the markdown converter decides that it needs js for some feature?
Nothing. There's a very common pattern you see in political responses to outrages and tragedies which is:
Something terrible has happened.
Something must be done.
X is something.
Therefore X must be done.

It doesn't actually matter what X is, the important thing for the government is to be seen to be doing something. In reality the calls by UK politicians to end online anonymity will fizzle out in a few weeks once the media cycle moves on, as it's not something they can really do without spending an immense amount of time, money and political capital. In the mean time there will be a flurry of articles like this one rehashing debates that have been going on ever since the first troll posted the first comment on a BBS.

It may be worth noting that most of the population in Washington, Oregon, and northern California is quite far west in the Pacific timezone so standard time in those areas is roughly equivalent to daylight saving time in much of the northeast US at least some of which would be in Atlantic time if we respected actual longitude more. In other words, the west coast already gets a lot of evening light and it gets light relatively later in the morning even without DST.

This is the first year I've ever hired anyone to do my taxes. Got married, sold an investment property, started earning some rental income, and had a few other issues I didn't want to try to figure out myself. It was closer to $1500 than $150, for what it's worth.

I guess its not much of an oversight board then!

The number of accounts under the program versus not I think misses the point. Facebook has separate rules that a privileged few get to play by. So privileged in fact, that their self appointed overseers didn't in fact oversee.

And these board members? What a joke. A kangaroo board. How embarrassing for those board members.
I can see that. Its just not something I'm particularly interested in.

I'm not an expert in brains. After taking a few casual courses I saw recommended here, and reading some of the books, I'm suspicious that our story about our own intelligence is somewhat oversold, and we may find that our intelligence is 99% mundane, custom-built automation and 1% story telling. But that story telling is pretty magical.

10 years ago in my mid 20s, I was a product manager at a tech BigCo (not FAANG). Just after starting, I was in a casual in-person meeting with my boss, my boss's boss, and a couple other executives (closer to a meet 'n greet than formal meeting). I don't remember much of what happened in the meeting, but I distinctly remember the feedback my boss gave me shortly after the meeting: "I think it'd help you if you don't ask obvious questions because it makes you look dumb" (I remember it being delivered more compassionately, but that was the essence).

At the time, I was young, insecure, and fraught with imposter syndrome (viewing virtually everyone as smarter than me) so I took it personally. That feedback gave me a visceral "that has got to be the worst feedback ever" reaction.

Fast forward 10 years, I've reached the point where I don't think twice about asking questions in any setting. I'm secure and confident in what I know, understand the vastness of what I don't know, and try to be vulnerable about this truth. I'm no longer worried about looking dumb. Maybe some people still think "well that's a dumb question, he should know that" but I'd rather have this experience, while retaining my adaptability "superpower" of being able to dig to the root of a problem, quickly learn context, and rapidly provide solutions.

I think about that feedback a lot.

It's enough to convince vulnerable people who are calling out the misdeeds of the powerful.

If your income does not change then it’s the appropriate amount. If your income increases or decreases you may end up paying too much or too little. Then there’s deductibles. It’s quite nice getting a cheque at the end of the tax year for a few thousand.

> The existence of Udacity / MIT OpenCourseWare / open textbooks, etc. without the whole population of the world being qualified in math & ML & everything else that exists proves that providing videos is not sufficient.

I tried to take extra credit from Udacity / MIT OCW once as a brick-and-mortar student.

The main problem with MIT OCW is that it is incomplete. What you really need as a student is for all courses in a degree program to be available, and for every course to be complete. Scientific knowledge has a dependency tree, and every degree program tacitly relies on its students to have certain knowledge at certain times.

Individual OCW Courses themselves are often incomplete. For example, in the problem set discussion sessions there is often a second lecture, which is critical to understand the main lecture, but this sort of thing is often missing from the OCW. In brick and mortar, students with partial attendance often fail, so it's unsuprising that OCW takers fail.

Students actually going through a degree program is a form of testing.

Asynchronous online courses generated during Coronavirus are probably more reliable than OCW/Udacity because these were actually used by degree seekers.

A law should mandate perpetual open access to the complete content of all asynchronous online courses that were held during the pandemic.

It's important that outsiders can access content, not only registered students. The main users would be students registered elsewhere, who want to compensate for their university having a bad course in some subject, or who want to take extra courses from a different department (often these can't be taken locally due to timing collision / travel distance).

Switching everything to online while maintaining gatekeeping would be the worst-case scenario.
