That interpretation isn't justified. The author makes it clear that she is still financially dependent on her parents, who still collect cans for a living.
Interesting theory. Would anyone like to provide some perspective on whether this is a reason to not get a vaccine or booster? Is the author just crazy?

I saw this happen in front of my own eyes in FiDi. The manager of the Walgreens said they don’t call the police anymore because SFPD won’t even come. I don’t trust any of the numbers coming from SFPD or the government of San Francisco.

My experiences in Monterey (2015) and San Diego (2019) were negative. It is good to hear that the particular issue either is not universal or has improved with time.
It might also be companies keen to popularize facial recognition cameras as a replacement for store cards. Make everyone think that theft is the problem they are trying to solve when, in fact, they just want to automatically track everyone that walks into their store. (EDIT: typos)
These areas are private property: the ends of people’s driveways. The city pays for trash and recycling collection from these areas. The scavengers steal all of the profitable items (mostly metal) from people’s recycling, making the recycling program even more unprofitable than it already is.
I know extremely successful people and all of them made huge mistakes in their lives. But I don't believe you are using a good strategy here and find your advice is bad:

1. You should quit as soon as possible is you are getting nowhere. We don't need more miserable entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is probably not for you if you fail consistently. Don't waste your live doing something you are miserable at.

2. Each failure can really hurt you, no different from making a mistake while skiing or driving. It can destroy your life: Your relationships, your wealth and health.

3. You don't automatically improve as time passes. Specially if you learn on your own without good teachers. You will acquire "bad practices" or "vices" like if you try to learn to play tennis on your own: It will take you longer to "unlearn" your vices than if you learned from good teachers.

The first thing I would recommend is that you make friends that are entrepreneurs so you learn from each other and support each other.

I sense a very individualistic behavior from your writing but I see customers as friends and that helped me a lot. I give them way more value that what I extract to support my business, and that is the secret. People are not stupid, in the same way children "sense" who really loves them fast, customers could sense very fast the value you give them.

You also develop over time a good intuition on the value you are creating if you know how to listen to your custommers.
You don't need 12 years for that, 1 or 2 years is enough.

I understand that "what does not kill you makes you stronger" but I have experienced what failure feels, and it really can kill you, emotionally, mentally, socially and finally physically.

The way to success is making mistakes frequent and small, so small that it can't hurt you: Instead of risking a million dollars you risk a thousand and escalate.

Instead of making mistakes you meet the people that have done what you want and you learn from THEIR mistakes, so you don't need to repeat them.

They will help you and love to do so. Dozens of entrepreneurs have helped me when I just asked them and some of them are good friends now.

Ah, gotcha. Still, with our 12-15 at ~97% you’d have to think that we’re a good city to watch. Nowhere else in the world is this vaccinated. If Omicron takes hold here, we’re all buggered. Thankfully, so far it doesn’t seem to be.
I don't know about you, but I love getting all my COVID disinformation from anonymous bloggers named "bad cat".
Doctors receive a government fee of $1,000 plus expenses for every euthanasia death they perform.

That's good money and incentive. How much does the lethal injection cost in terms of chemicals and syringe?
I wouldn't be surprised if these military bombing dudes not only took R, G, B, but also near IR, far IR, UV, and various other things. If they did it would make no sense to try to make a Bayer filter for all of that and rather just have multiple filtered cameras pointed at the same direction.
I think there's a simpler explanation. The theft crowd and the "defund the police" crowd have semi-independently come to the conclusion that policing and legal systems are not very good at stopping or preventing most crime.
That's nice. That won't change how many hours I work... And because that I'm be ahead of anyone stupid enough to take a 32-hour week. 100% Ok with that.
I have the book, it's quite interesting. I ultimately came to the conclusion that for me, at least, the tradeoffs between Haskell and Scheme pushed me in the Scheme direction for music. I think the advantages of lisp make more of a practical difference for the act of computer composing. But Euterpea is a really cool project and I hope to get back to it in more depth later.

Nyquist is another interesting one to check out and also has a cool book. The book "Notes from the Metalevel" on Common Music is excellent too, but sadly out of print now. It was a big inspiration for my own Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd.

I wonder why Google came up with the EyeDropper Web API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EyeDropper
Many cameras, especially medium format like Fuji GFX, can do "pixel shift" capture, where they use the sensor stabilization to shift the sensor by one pixel at a time to ensure red, green, and blue are each captured at all pixels, without needing demosaicing. The camera has to be mounted on a tripod for this to work - like any stacking requires, really.

As others noted, it only supported horizontal walls and floors. More specifically, though, it only supported _one_ gap (e.g., a single window or door). You couldn't stack floors on top of each other.

This allowed a single ray cast against the 2D map to learn which vertical slices of wall texture to paint (no pitch or roll, remember). Floors and ceilings could be painted in vertical order (above / below the horizon line - "floor" and "ceiling" being explicit for any given open area), iirc, and walls filled in based on the ray cast from the eye.
A 40-hour workweek doesn't bother me.

Shitty healthcare and the rising cost of everything, does.
Are you just talking about grading on a curve? This happened to me in a graduate math class and I agree with you that it felt unnecessarily demoralizing. But it also seemed like a natural outcome of grading a hard class on a curve.
Unfortunately, "weird crap like [running] live music shows" is what Apple markets their devices for, and since they're selling machines that have thousand-dollar price premiums over their competitors, I should hope their attitude isn't "fix it for yourself". I know a number of Mac musicians who run live shows and can neither grok what you just suggested or be bothered to disable SIP and lose all their iLok plugins before a show.
I would agree, if vaccinations helped more to stop people from becoming infectious. Although they shorten the period in which the vaccinated or recovered are spreading the virus, it's still enough to cause the current omicron outbreak, as far as I understand it. If correct, that means the unvaccinated are not that much more contagious and even a plane full of vaccinated people will transmit the virus because chances are zero every single one of them didn't encounter the new variant in the past three days or so.

Outstanding.

Now, given the way the world is, at this second, how do you see this evolution actually going?
Setting aside anything else going on, thank you for bringing up and clarifying the 2010 flash crash - I had only ever heard the high-frequency trading theory (with a side order of "nobody actually understands what the bots were thinking").
Isn't the labor shortage caused by the government paying people to not work, i.e. the covid relief money? Receiving that money is contingent on not picking up a job.
Yeah I remember being thrilled seeing them while canoeing on the Gasconade when I was a kid in the 90s. I believe that we saw one refueling behind a KC-10 in the air as well.

Apple is absolutely not forced to choose. They can provide a way to override it. Considering how much they love to boast about this market, I'm pretty sure they'll change it.
I'm not so sure. Almost 10 years ago where I was living back then, there was a large homeless tent city put up right on a courthouse lawn, to circumvent anti-camping bans in municipal parks. The courthouse land was provincial land so it didn't count.

It still made crime rates skyrocket in the area, people were advised not to walk in the area alone, etc. It didn't get "handled", it festered a long while before it was finally dismantled.
thanks for sharing your story, it is inspiring. What is your tech stack? python?

I promise you that the people who do those visuals for SNL (and every other wacky scenario people are coming up with) are not mirroring or extending their desktops. They're using dedicated video hardware for this exact reason.
there's nothing different about 2010. How do you think it would have been handled? People are just realizing what they can get a way with. I worked reatil in 2010, if there was a shoplifter we were told to let it go, same as now. Police don't patrol retail stores
Humans also didn't show any ambition, besides keeping themselves and their little band alive, for hundreds of thousands of years. We know they had the mental capacity because hunting, foraging, cooking and tool-making needs knowledge and planning, but they were fine as they were.

Somehow humans started cooperating in large groups, planting the seeds of civilization, outcompeting (or possibly exterminating) our less social brethren. We can't know if the first human capable of leading large groups was a genius or a psychopath, but without people like him/her humanity probably wouldn't be very ambitious.
So how's this supposed to work?

If I work 32 hours a week instead of 40, is my employer still going to pay me the same amount of money? Or only 80%?

If only 80%, does the Progressive Caucus think that everyone's going to be thrilled at having to take a 20% pay cut?

Or do they think employers are going to pay the same out of the goodness of their hearts? Or are they going to require employers to pay the same?

If the employers have to pay the same for less work (= less stuff produced), is there any realistic scenario where that won't be inflationary?

If companies have to pay the same for less work, that's a higher hourly rate. Won't they simply lay off those who don't produce enough per hour to cover their cost?

Is there any way this doesn't have very negative second-order effects?

So: Is this just a publicity stunt by the Progressive Caucus? Or do they really not understand second-order effects (and basic economics)?
Thank you! Yeah I really do enjoy my work. I’m not sure what it’d be like working in such a position, and I'm not sure I’d be good at it :).
What would the things that you like and dislike about it ?
FWIW, we avoid this problem with wood by pressure treating the wood with poisonous chemicals, so mold and other organisms can eat it.

Another common method is to protect the wood with a layer of plastic (polyurethane, paint, etc). That's evidently out the window...
I'm glad someone is crunching the numbers.

Will this sort of breakdown prevent us from needing to present a biometric id to enter a shop in the future? (Frankly in the present too - eg Lithuania, China, France, etc.)

Unfortunately I don't think so, as the id is being marketed as a health security issue, rather than a anti-theft one. And mostly it seems we accept it on health marketing grounds.
Loss of net profit can get weird (editorially) when losses exceed profit or when net profit is negative.
This is a writing style I see every so often and I don't quite understand it. Using so many sets of ellipses within paragraphs and sentences makes for a very bizarre and difficult to understand cadence.

It's very difficult to read and honestly comes off as immature, as if the writer has an incredibly limited grasp of English sentence and paragraph structure.

There was a smash and grab this weekend at a jewelry store in a large, crowded mall in Austin, TX, which resulted in a lockdown because people mistakenly thought there were gunshots.

I was surprised at the sheer brazenness of the theft - the jewelry store is basically smack dab in the middle of the mall, and the theft occurred during a crowded Sat evening, so it's not like the thieves were attempting to get out undetected.

What many people are reacting to is the clear belief by thieves that they won't be confronted or significantly prosecuted, and that breakdown in the social fabric is what many people are reacting to.
These types of crimes are indicators of underlying social and societal flaws. America has a very high incarceration rate. Either our people genetically are just predisposed to crime or we’re doing something wrong with our policies, governing, and equality.

There's a couple possible ways to interpret this information.

1) Retailers are lying (or, more likely, in the grip of a meme and convinced the numbers are spiking without any past objective data to back up the assertion)

2) Specific market sectors are being hit disproportionately hard, but it doesn't show up in the numbers because the market is growing or moving in a way that other sectors are utterly side-stepping this kind of theft.

If the latter, the next thing we can predict is the collapse of sectors (given the data sources, the predicted collapse would be most of the country would be fine but California towns would suddenly find mom-and-pops decide to do something else and major chains expect large conciliation from local governments to open a franchise location in their town).
way way back in the day there was a Judge Dredd story about bacteria eating plastic used for infrastructure.
It actually works out to be pretty close. A satellite flying ~17k mph at 250 miles altitude would largely have the same angular displacement from the ground as a plane moving 400 mph at 31,000 feet. Most satellites fly in an easterly direction, so the question would ultimately be what the inclination of the orbit is relative to the direction of flight.

Well, if you ask the folk over at Red Hat, they agree. And they're doing it within their code, which is both working and simultaneously making the old-timers very, very angry.

They've been sponsoring GNOME, which has been pushing the simplified, mobile-friendly look for almost a decade now. They've also (I believe) been behind the scenes in GNOME's push to kill theming on the behalf of developers who hate their apps getting themed, which of course distributions hate because that hurts the ability to stand out. If GNOME looks the same on every distribution, your distribution sticks out less.

Red Hat has also been behind sponsoring SystemD, which for better or worse brought every distribution kicking and screaming into a more consistent "low level" layout. Again though, this makes management across Linux systems somewhat easier, while making distribution-specific differences smaller.

Red Hat has been behind Flatpak, which compartmentalizes applications and means that they can run on any distribution when built against a common runtime. For app developers and new people, this is great as a "Linux app" just runs on any "Linux" distribution, easy. For old-timers and technical folk (even on here)... again it's with kicking and screaming. And if you are a distribution author, every distribution now runs the same apps, so what's so special about your distro again?

Red Hat has also been behind PulseAudio and PipeWire, which changed how audio worked on Linux... again with kicking and screaming.

The point is, Red Hat keeps working on technology that, I would argue, makes Linux more consistent and approachable to newcomers, but massively changes how it works which angers old-timers and also happens to reduce diversity within distributions as to how things are done. This makes things easier for programmers, but erodes away the proliferation of distributions because the differences between them get smaller and smaller.

Because, if Red Hat gets their way, consider: Every desktop that uses GNOME looks the same because there isn't as much theming. Every desktop runs the same apps using Flatpak. Every desktop has similar low-level internals with SystemD. If you are a distribution maker, not much left to stand out now, is there? Again, app developers love this, but if you are a distribution maker, Red Hat is trying to kill your edge.
I'm a pretty solid 1-2 hours per day. This increased a lot after I had children and needed a healthy outlet. Some things to consider:
- Audiobooks were pretty transformative for me. I like to run and I like to read and listening to an audiobook while running is pretty close to Zen for me. I have found that I am a lot less intimidated by "hard books" when in Audiobook form because I know I can grind my way through. I did War and Peace training for my first marathon. Audiobooks also made my commutes a lot more educational (though my children usually despise my book interests, so your mileage may vary with kids in the car).
- Delete your social media. It's the new smoking and reading is a healthy habit to replace.
- Whispersync between Audible and Kindle can help you blaze through a book. Read a bit at bed, listen while you do the dishes, repeat.
There is a brilliant, literal bulldozer story about Chicago's lost third airport.

For years there was a busy and successful commercial airport in downtown Chicago right on Lake Michigan. At some point Mayor Daley decided he wanted it closed for his own agenda, but no one else would let it happen.

So, in the middle of one dark night in 2003, he got some contractor cronies to go out there and bulldoze the runway, damaging it beyond repair. This forced the closing of the airport.

>Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley forced the closing of Meigs in 2003 by ordering the overnight bulldozing of its runway without notice, in violation of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.

To this day, the site of the former airport is an undeveloped "natural preserve" and most Chicagoans have no idea that it used to be somewhere they could fly out of.

Funny story.

That is absolutely the truth: see also the continued legality of abortion despite decades of Republicans winning elections based on their "opposition" to it. Why eliminate something that consistently wins you elections?
Correct, but don't misunderestimate the power of knowledge.

Let's assume that some adversary is out there keeping track of these planes, and knows that they can scan Google maps for the RGB artifact by the engines to locate them reliably and programmatically.

Now Google maps becomes a repository for information that adversary may use to validate other information. Maybe this confirms the schedule for some training excersise. Maybe this particular B2 being in this location validates or invalidates other information about US troop strength abroad.

I was taught to always "assume your adversary is capable of going through your trash" and try to prepare my "trash" accordingly.
Of course menu bars are disabled by default in full-screen mode, notifications can be disabled on Mojave at least. That is the whole purpose of a "full screen mode", that the whole screen content is controlled by the app.

No this is for financed cars.

When you live in a title-holding state, the title will be issued to the registered owner/operator of the car, regardless of lien holder. Though your lien holder will receive a separate document verifying their connection to the loan, you will be in possession of the title itself.

There are only nine title-holding states: Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New York, Oklahoma, Wisconsin. In the other 41 states, titles are issued to the lien holder of your vehicle until the loan is fully paid off.

"The numbers" they are using under report because most victims have stopped filing reports due the DAs in LA and SF not bother to prosecute people and bailing them out on the cheap.

Further the state source is 1 year old delayed. So not contemporary or current.

Then again, the LA Times is akin to CNN in being 100% leftist propaganda, all the time so they have no more credibility than the National Inquirer!
