The same way Hillary lost to an extreme right wing populist reality TV star. Leadership is dumber than what they think and just there because they are the least incompetent of the political caste, but they act as if they were the all righteous saviors while delivering nothing of value to their voters except for campaign promises.

Thats not exactly correct. You can own hollow points in NJ, but you may only transport them from place of purchase to your home, or from your home directly to the range where you intend to shoot them, or from range back to home.

It is most certainly illegal to use hollow points in any instance in a case of self defense, even if the self defense is warranted.
You're combining both countries though? Israel was still the largest receiver in the region.
That’s been a selling point in Seattle for a long time.

Apparently she was just a bridge too far with tweets like these:

https://www.twitter.com/ntkallday/status/1282015687603417089...

Or deleted tweets like “I have not taken any of this anti bias training but i for sure hate this country”

Keep in mind, 40% of votes went to this candidate.

Her campaign manager’s tweets were even worse, going so far as wishing death on (her words) “kkkops.”

Sure, a cloth mask won't STOP Covid. But the science indicates that community mask wearing does decrease transmission rates as mask wearing rates go up.[1]

Similarly, the current vaccine does not prevent infection, but it significantly reduces symptoms and helps reduce the amount of people who'd otherwise be hospitalized with COVID-19.[2]

Death rates are the most serious metric to look at (and it's abysmal), but certainly not the only metric. Long-term effects of the virus aren't well understood, but individuals have reported brain fog or lack of sense of taste/smell long after clearing the flu-like symptoms.[3] Folks who get sick and transmit the virus, or are severely hospitalized, have still been affected.

Most children do not have issues masking in school unless trusted adults are telling them it's a problem. I have two sons, both of whom mask at school with no complaint, and the school has a full mask mandate except at mealtimes for those eating. Neither the school nor the district have reported any instances of psychological or social harm, and I'm having a hard time finding a credible source that believes that's true.

So, we have a set of assumed (or just plain made up) negatives, and a whole host of scientifically proven benefits. When folks say we are not a serious nation, they mean that this debate is even happening in the first place. The reasonable asks: a facemask indoors in public, and a vaccine. Against a worldwide pandemic that's killed over 700,000 in the United States alone and shut down our hospital systems in some cities.

He's partly right. Stagflation was another issue. Also Reagan was a natural actor, brainless but telegenic.

The United States (Dulles) overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh in 1953 and installed the Shah. Then Eisenhower, JFK, Nixon, Ford and yes Carter completely supported the Shah. The Iranian revolutionaries held that against us and in particular, against the then president, Jimmy Carter. Given what we did to them, they had a point.

The resulting hostage crisis was the smallest humiliation the US ever suffered. Compare that to Saddam sending an Exocet into the Stark or Israel strafing the Liberty.

Reagan made much of this crisis during the election, and the hostages were released on inauguration day. Then Reagan supported Iraq in their invasion of Iran AND also sold missiles to Iran. A strange foreign policy, mostly beholden to whatever Saudi Arabia and Israel wanted on a given day.
Identity politics has been a thing longer than a century at this point though?

That's not how the Entity or SDN lists work. Every individual ever employed by NSO Group is going to start having difficulties with their bank and securities accounts starting today. Affiliation with a blacklisted entity moves you from "person who does not generate hits on OFAC" to "person who does." For many institutions, that's a dealbreaker.

You can't get around a blacklist by shutting down shop and re-starting under a new name. These are old, battle-hardened tools originally designed to go after state actors. The loopholes have been thoroughly explored.
This is a really shallow take on the situation. Like any big problem there are multiple factors involved.

Every time there is a crisis or economic hard times it shakes the tree and we get a new crop of homeless. Those who work with organizations trying to help have long noted this cyclic nature that mirrors business cycles. For long timers this crop of homeless are notable as being by far the oldest and sickest yet.

The primary question isn't their character, but how best to manage the situation. Opining that they brought it on themselves does not get them off the street or reduce expensive calls to responders.
The nicest written-up example I know is https://www.shapeoperator.com/2016/12/12/sunset-geometry/

As a relatively recent personal example I spent a few months (in bits and pieces) working out a bunch of metrical spherical geometry for myself without reference to past work, with points represented as displacement vectors to stereographically projected points at https://observablehq.com/@jrus/planisphere with the eventual goal of implementing computational geometry / cartography code using that as a canonical representation, which I think is superior to representations used currently in practical software.

The same spherical relationships are comparable (some things slightly slightly easier, some slightly trickier) to represent as displacement vectors in an embedded sphere. But there again relationships are clearer to express in GA terms.

Most of the material there is stated without proof (maybe eventually full proofs should be included), but several of the identities there I worked out very tediously with pages of scratch work in coordinates, then realized afterward the same results could be arrived at with only a few lines of GA.

Only a bit of the material is truly novel (after doing the work myself, I hunted around for sources and found some of the same formulas worked out previously using classical spherical trigonometry 200+ years ago), and e.g. some very similar material where the stereographically projected points are represented as complex numbers can be found at http://fer3.com/arc/img/110279.applications%20of%20complex%2...

In theory most of the rest could be also worked out using complex numbers or matrices, but (a) some ideas end up awkward and unidiomatic there so you would never think to do it, so that many identities that are slightly obscure in GA are almost unheard of written in other formalisms, (b) the algebraic manipulation is at least 2–3x more cumbersome.
I did look for the parts because I was interested in getting one made...however many of the parts still aren't ready to go (control side), but the hardware cost other than that was fairly reasonable in the $500-800 range depending on how big you were going to go and which motors you chose to use.

Sorry to bite on this off-topic thing... but, _how_? Overthrowing their government? I guess that would be technically true, but "at any time" seems like a weird phrase to use for that.
> someone in my house is in near-continuous possession of illegal drugs (cannabis). So there’s one felony

Unless they've already been convicted in the past, that is a misdemeanor.

The railroad example is more interesting, though I can't find anything truly on point. All the legislation I have seen suggests you'd 1) have to intend to disrupt the service, and 2) put something on or near the tracks. I couldn't find anything even hinting that delaying a train through normal passenger controls constituted interference with a railroad.

Even if those were all felonies, I think most people don't even lead that exciting an existence :).
That's not the outcome I'd actually want. I want voters to be rational. Not candidates who are better at appeals to emotion.

If you have a regular $3 multimeter, it should be able to measure current and voltage between the battery and inverter. Then just multiply. double check you're on the right mode and using the right socket on the meter before connecting, or you'll get a big bang!.

For the AC side, it's much harder to measure - typical inverters have rather imperfect AC outputs, and unless you have a rather expensive multimeter you won't get an accurate power measurement. A kill-o-watt will probably be okay for a rough measurement, but there might well be a +- 20% error...
I can never remember whether Reagan single handedly won the Cold War on horseback with a six shooter or if he was functionally incapacitated and thus not responsible for anything.

No, it's not parametric in that way. But it is possible to extend the "mill-bed" by:

* X-axis: Increase length of frame and bridge profiles. Buy longer MGN12H rails used for the X-axis.

* Y-axis: Increase length of frame profiles. Buy longer MGN12H rails used for the X-axis.

* Z-axis: Increase the vertical beams between lower and upper frame. Buying longer MGN12H rails used for the Z-axis and a longer acme rod.

It looks like the US is definitely up there for drug use. I'm not sure about bad behaviour, but it's a bit of an international reputation. Personally, most US citizens I've met have been, on average, equally as nice as people from anywhere else.

I think it's fine that someone shares their bold opinions on future technology and puts it out in the public without hiding all this discussion in private where the public can not interact with them.
That doesn't stop a determined group of canvassers from going door to door and pressuring people to fill out their ballots on the spot while they wait on their doorstep. It's also a perfect time to offer a bribe or incentive for a speedy completion.

There's no way that any form of remote ballot is going to be as secure as doing it in person. It's just not possible because you will never know the provenance. Like most things that involve the legal system, it's not the law abiding that we're worried about.
If that's the case, it's still completely dumb. If you shoot someone in self defense with ball ammo it's definitely going to over penetrate and keep going possibly hitting anyone or anything behind the threat.

And what happens if you are driving from the range and experience a flat tire, have to use the restroom, an emergency where you need to go somewhere else. Bad laws.

Yes, absolutely right, and for games it was the only option with no fast floating point and very limited memory.
No, these are separate concepts. As an example: a simple linear regression through 7 data points has 2 dimensions (x and y) but 5 degrees of freedom (number of data points - number of estimated parameters).
I assume that "rather have a beer with" is a proxy for "has similar values to me" and "seems honest". Those seem reasonable qualifications for at least some offices.

New Jersey is an example of the 30 day delay and often those 30 days turn into 7-8 months. I know several people there who went through this last year when the riots were happening and they wanted to purchase a firearm for the first time only to realize how strict the laws were. Ironic enough, they had themselves voted in these laws which were now causing them the problems. This changed the minds of at least 10 friends of mine on gun control.

Tim Pool, popular YouTuber went from anti-2A to SUPER-PRO 2A last year and he's from New Jersey and went through this process. Here's forums of people complaining about this. You can find several similar examples:

> This truck driver has a bit more credibility when signaling “down to earth” than GWB.

GWB won a national election for the presidency against a man a least twice as smart as he was. I'd say GWB had immense credibility at signalling his "I'm the guy you'd want to have a beer with" credentials.

> It’s less likely they’re aspirational psychopaths

Why is it less likely? "Down to earth" is just as likely to be an affectation as anything else.

People like "down to earth" because

* it gives the impression that the candidate is not that much smarter than the voter, and American voters hate people who seem to be smarter than they are.

* it gives the impression that the candidate is "just like" the voter, even though this is incredibly unlikely to be true. American voters love the idea of leaders who are "just like us".
Assumed innocence is one of the pillars of the justice estate and public relations. I believe it's a sign of civilisation.

I know that in this case puts the whole thing in a bad light, but still as a principle assumed innocence is worth preserving IMHO.
This "strategy" will only drive the few remaining users away who actively decided to use Firefox while not winning any new "casual users" over (because those don't care about what differentiates Firefox from Chrome or Safari, they're all just web browsers after all).
yes homelessness is often complex and multifactorial. years of abuse, psychological traits, bad luck. Pick any combinations in any order.

I honestly don't know what homeless people need, if they even want to go back to 'normal' life. What I think is possible is helping the volunteers to do more with less to provide essential care (hygiene, medicine, basic nutrition and warmth). Then there's safety.. Even some free lockers would be a boon for them. Keeping critical stuff when you sleep is a luxury for most.

All I know is that with not much funding, a bit of space, and smart care (invest in the easy to save, make them volunteers, and grow ~exponential self sufficient resources that way) you could tame these problems by a lot. Most naive solutions (renting hotels) backfire in cost or quality. I was quite stumped after hearing guys saying they'd rather sleep out than in a shelter, in the winter.. I don't want to assume but it's pretty telling.
It's so bonkers. America has the most unfettered gun ownership laws in the developed world by a mile and somehow it's still a political wedge that can outweigh healthcare, fair taxation, education.
Back in the 80's, my computer teacher kicked me out of class because I had logged into my friends account at another school and downloaded instructions for an "assassination game" (pick a name from a hat, 'assassinate' your victim with a toy gun) which we never played because we just weren't that interested. The teacher was going through the trash and "discovered" my "hacking" because everything was printed on paper. Fortunately for me, I had access to other computers and went on to a long, successful career in computers. No thanks to you, shitty computer teacher.
> using a combination of techniques pioneered by LuaJIT and custom optimizations that are able to improve performance by taking control over the entire stack (language, compiler, interpreter, virtual machine), we’re able to get close to LuaJIT interpreter performance while using C as an implementation language.

At first I was a bit surprised by this, given that they have much better type information, but they forget to mention until further on that Luau doesn't use JIT/AOT optimizations (yet). Still, it's as good an excuse as any to bring out this quote again:

“LuaJIT is much faster than all of the other languages, including Wren, because Mike Pall is a robot from the future”

I would be ok with the orders if they really thought they were going to help. I was ok with the initial lockdowns, politicians where scared, and acted fast the best way they could.

Most orders after that where just polling their voters to see what they could do and look like "they are doing something" but angering the least people possible. That's bullshit, and even the governor of San Francisco and the governor of California where found bending their policy or breaking the rules multiple times.

I've been at Facebook for about a year and a half. Before this I was at startups in the marketing and financial industries. We've been under scrutiny for the whole time that I've been there, and the company is pretty unpopular from a vocal population on here, but it's been really nice to work for.

We obviously have job security, and I've been very impressed with the management chain above me. At least on my team, they all come from eng for a few levels until you start hitting VP roles. The fact that they were at least fairly recently technical helps with understanding some of the traditional pain points I've run into in the past in dealing with management.

Everything is built in house, which does have some drawbacks but it's nice that we can interface directly with the people who are working on all of our tools. And everything has an API so there is a great amount of inter-tool integration. Developers get raises, on my team Eng has a big say in what the product is going to be, idk it seems like it checks all of the boxes you're asking about.

Also it's kind of fun to see the company I work for get mercilessly memed all the time.
I mean, it's just the old argument of does the power corrupt or do the corrupt seek out power.

I believe it's the power itself. I do not believe politicians go into politics exclusively for what they can gain. I believe many, if not most, really believe their ideas are best and can help people. . . the graft and corruption just sort of comes in later when they realize all that is possible.
grandparent didn't say anything about appeals to emotion. The meaning could just as easily be "down to earth gives me just the facts without a lot of spin" - ie, the opposite of what you're thinking.
It is not a matter of liking, in major congested cities in Europe or Asia it is impossible to use a car, where are you going to park? The whole city is organised differently. Having experience living in both type of cities I can understand why in a suburban US city you will get so attached to your car, it is basically connected to your freedom to get to places because there is no other way. But when I am in a more congested city with a good public transportation and bike culture, the car just becomes a burden.
