There is far too much intolerance, violence, misery and death in the world today caused by people acting on or motivated by their u̶n̶s̶u̶b̶s̶t̶a̶n̶t̶i̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶r̶e̶l̶i̶g̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ beliefs.

e.g. USSR anti-religious campaign of 1928–1941:

"The campaign began in 1929, with the drafting of new legislation that severely prohibited religious activities and called for an education process on religion in order to further disseminate atheism and materialist philosophy. "

"The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church and Islam, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labour camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.[1] More than 85,000 Orthodox priests were shot in 1937 alone.[2] Only a twelfth of the Russian Orthodox Church's priests were left functioning in their parishes by 1941.[3]"

"Stalin called for an "atheist five year plan" from 1932–1937, led by the LMG, in order to completely eliminate all religious expression in the USSR.[43] It was declared that the concept of God would disappear from the Soviet Union.[43]"

I used your original wording with strikethrough to make my point, but I think this would be a more accurate statement:

There is far too much intolerance, violence, misery and death in the world today caused by violent people acting on or motivated by their beliefs without any restraint.

This applies to any kinds of beliefs be it religious, political, economic, philosophical, moral, etc.
The article doesn’t really give a good sense of Thiebaud's oeuvre with the two pieces they feature, but this is a better sampling: https://mymodernmet.com/wayne-thiebaud-paintings/
To further illustrate your point - a dentist who thoroughly background checks all her customers to ensure they are good needs to thoroughly background check all her customers customers and so on.

The only solution is living on a farm and completely isolating yourself from everyone. You also can't use any products or services produced by anyone because the chain of profits goes the other way too.

Short of obviously bad companies (like those selling cigarettes perhaps), most companies are mostly doing good things for mostly good customers who are mostly trying to do good things and so on. I know a good number of people and while some might be a little greedier than others, and some others are disorganized and get themselves into situations where they are desperate and do something not great, none of them are genuinely bad people. Some of the very best people I know work in ads, and some of them at Facebook.
Just like the alcoholic smoker who lives to be 100+, consider yourself incredibly lucky
You can actually look at the salaries of many professors (and actually anyone employed by the school, i.e. deans, football coaches, etc) at public universities. Here's University of Washington, for example: https://fiscal.wa.gov/Salaries.aspx
I’m of the (unpopular?) opinion that users ruined the internet, and not megacorps.

For example is google crappy now because they just don’t care or is it really all the “content marketing” that did it?

I suspect any forum that gains significant enough traction to attract the bad actors will turn to shit.
I spent a while with a 27" 4K monitor. It looked nice in HiDPI modes on my Mac, but I didn't get that much usable screen real estate (I was running it about 1440p). When the pandemic hit and I started working from home every day, I upgraded to a 43" 4k display. I now have the equivalent of 4x 21.5" 1080p displays, which is far more usable than 1x 1440p, even if it doesn't look quite as nice.

Is it FDA preventing a sale, or an insurance company not agreeing to pay?

I suspect such devices are far from inexpensive.
Yup. Exactly that text.
Steel roofing seems like a fairly upscale thing now, just not with that wavy corrugated shape. The alternating wide flat area, then small rib pattern is the one I see around the most.
The question isn't whether they should face liability or whether the company has problems to solve. The question is what specifically should the penalty be? If you happen to ship any GPL'd code at any point with your product, must it necessarily always follow that you should be forced to release the source to everything else you happened to ship along with it? That's what people here want, and I'm pointing out it has a flip side to it that doesn't seem to be considered.
No, skin is fairly resistant unless punctured or covered in water. This is why building codes usually only mandate ground fault detecting outlets in areas where water is expected to be (outdoors and bathrooms).

For further reading, go research how electric chair executions had to be performed and how prone they were to failure due to not passing a fatal current.
That's non-obvious to people from other languages, at least it was to me. The asynchronous nature of DOM manipulation also comes up when the DOM gets large and you naively try updating elements querying by tag or class.

It's idiosyncrasies aren't deal breakers but they're non-obvious. They also crop up once you're into medium complexity code. At the level of simple/trivial code machines and JavaScript engines are fast enough to paper over naively written code. But you get to a certain level of complexity and you get bit by some colored function issue or something.

It's annoying bringing something up where JavaScript is not the primary focus of the project. This is all anecdotal, there's plenty of people that might never have issues. But it was all stuff that tripped me up around 2009-10 having to write some JS after not having touched it since before you could make XHRs or manipulate the DOM directly.
Oh it doesn't

It's most likely generated via Stripe (or some equivalent). And even though the account and associated information has been deleted from the Lastpass servers, they didn't delete it from all their vendors, forgetting that those vendors might send the end-user an email.

> So’s Reddit, though. I’ve become skeptical of the sort of people who volunteer to moderate.

This depends heavily on the sub.

And in this case you have an even better alternative to bad moderators. If they're bad on Reddit you can start your own sub but then you have to convince everyone there to move. With filter lists, you can start your own filter list for the same community and any subset of members can use it without having to fork the community itself. If you do a better job, yours will be more popular.

You can also potentially have filter lists by category. One is for true spam, i.e. commercial solicitation by for-profit entities and scammers. The other is for trolls and shitposters. You might think a moderator is overly aggressive in classifying things as trolls but still want the spam filtering, and then you can.

There are so few thing on windows actually utilize HDR properly. The few I come up with are some games from UBI (Tom Clancy's series) and forza horizon 5. You get far better experience when play them with HDR. The others are either nonadjustable too dim, too bright or have a totally incorrect light curve.
Progess is being made specially in lower and medium range of monitors.

Apple took a large leap into giant monitors with high DPI. Most people don't care a lot about it, when you are not that close to the monitor, the retina effect is not worth, for mass market, the cost difference.

In the end, you are both correct. It is slow for the top of the line but super fast for everyone else upgranding mid-range monitors.
I’ve never even seen one. I’m sure lots of people have them, but I don’t know any. I’m more concerned about the latest generation of teens that haven’t been more than a day in their lives without an internet connected device in front of them since they were toddlers. They’re going to be fucked up. Their parents know it too, but if they take the device away from them, they’ll have to get off their own devices and…interact with their children.
Sure, just look at all the covid vaccine deniers. And all the cures promoted

Strong negative vaccine effectiveness persists after controlling for age. Data are however uncontrolled for restrictions/behaviour, which might vary strongly in Europe. (unvaccinated people are excluded from full civil and social rights at the moment)

The situation is unclear. As someone who is not at acute risk of Covid (age < 24, BMI < 24), there is absolutely no reason to be rushing to get these vaccines before the long-term effectiveness ad safety trials are over.
There's only so far you can get off-grid in the USA. The most remote is probably the Owyhee Desert, which is centered around the intersection of Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho. Out there, you can easily go 80-100 miles off pavement, sometimes further.

Another similarly remote place is the Arizona Strip, the portion of the state that lies north of the Grand Canyon. You access it from Utah and it's 95 miles from the outskirts of Hurricane, UT to SB Point, above the canyon.

Generally, we stay out for about a week and half and come in to town every 2-3 days, mostly for gas. We run Engel fridge/freezers, which give you essentially unlimited cold drinks and the only real limitation is space for fresh food.

No, it's extremely limited. It doesn't really let you properly drag things like you would in a card game - just ghosts of them.
What's the smallest 4K (external, I don't want your meme laptops with 4k displays in the recommendation pool) monitor currently on the market?
Read the history of the FDA, my friend. They’re here for a reason. I’m not going to educate you on something you can Google (but probably won’t).
Anyone have any luck trying to bing / google “challenge to do” and get that result? I didn’t find it after a couple variations.

Also any reason to believe that the tweet was true? (I’m not on twitter so i don’t have any context for the veracity of the source)
I agree. This overzealous attitude from health regulators not good.

I see it as nothing more than authoritarians in the health domain. They know what’s best for everyone, and clearly don’t trust that freedom empowers people.

This is at the heart of many of the issues the public has had with the US government’s response to the pandemic.

>Almost anyone familiar with human jaw muscles last week would have bet all the money in their wallet that all the muscles connected to the jaw were known, in their entirety.

I suppose that really depends on what you mean by familiarity, if it means a superficial knowledge I suppose you're right but if it is more than superficial knowledge then given this quote from the article:

"A look at historical anatomy studies and textbooks reveals that the structure of the masseter muscle has already raised questions in the past. In a previous edition of Gray’s Anatomy, from the year 1995, the editors also describe the masseter muscle as having three layers, although the cited studies were based on the jaw musculature of other species and partly contradicted one another."

and a few other quotes, it seems likely that quite a few people would at least have refused the bet.
I programmed mine so that when I said “intruder alert“ it responds with “you picked the wrong house to mess with mother###### Your ass is grass and I’m going to mow it“. It’s actually kind of funny to show off. I’m too lazy to pay for a subscription to a music service, but I would like for it to start playing fortunate Son right after that. Maybe turn off the lights… It’s a gadget, I don’t take it too seriously, it controls the lights, answers questions for me, great alarm, helps me maintain my calendars, but it is reasonable to be wary of it.
Careful doing this if you travel. Could be a real PITA if you get to a job site and can't log in to LastPass.
There are two types of errors the FDA can do. Both will cause deaths.

Type 1: FDA approves something that ends up killing people. Many die.
Type 2: FDA doesn't approve something that would cure disease. Many die.

The FDA, and public discourse is only about Type 1, and it is the one FDA is very focused on minimizing. As a result, many Americans - probably millions over the decades - die from Type 2 errors.

> you also have to realize that for every one of you who understand what the monitor does, there’s probably 50 people who would drink bleach solution to cure cancer

If you honestly think 98% of Americans would drink bleach for their health, I understand why you favor a strict approach.
Having read some of the comments, I wonder about the challenges with making myself a recruiter that doesn’t do the stupid things such as cold calling and wasting peoples time.

I don’t like wasting time, but I also feel like the biggest hurdle would be just finding people to trust me to help them find a job.
The idea of building new Usenet-inspired discussion system is great. We can update it with new distributed tech, privacy, etc. However authors chose to limit it to "retro text-only inteface." In my opinion this is a handicap. At least basic hypertext a-la Slack markdown is expected. Otherwise it will appeal only to old users reminsicing about good old times.
Whew, you need to try some Dhall then. Types, functions, imports all in a non-Turing-complete configuration language.
I put OpenWRT on an ERPro-8. It worked very well and had more features than the stock firmware. USB modem support was what pushed me to OpenWRT. The storage took a dump in the router (soldered on) so it was fun while it lasted. The MikroTik RB5009UG+S+IN is looking pretty sweet.
Nah Google and Amazon both have an army of lobbyists.
> I learned the wrong physics like the atom model for years and aren't using any of that knowledge.

To be fair - this is fairly common for most subjects and models are exactly that: models. I think of them as precise-enough framework to help an introductory learners to wrap their minds around the topic.

In biology we teach the structure of the cell (golgi, nuclei, etc) in introductory classes and students are typically left with the impression that ALL cells are like this. It hit me that not all cells are like this when I took embryology :)

While cool,

> While the clock has not been wound since it was made by Arthur Beverly in 1864, it has stopped on a number of occasions, such as when its mechanism needed cleaning or there was a mechanical failure, and when the Physics Department moved to new quarters. Also, on occasions when the ambient temperature does not fluctuate sufficiently to supply the requisite amount of energy, the clock will not function. However, after environmental parameters readjust, the clock begins operating again.
Sadly it does not seem to mention what MRI abnormalities there are, but I am very curious. Does it affect the white matter, for example? If so, which sites? Does it cause lesions? Demyelination, or what?
Wow. Yeah it sounds like your intuition is calling out an important issue. Personally I have three almost-teens and we had to learn the best parenting style for each kid as well as for ourselves and the ways we interfaced with those children.

When we got medical advice that was really off, we generally ended up changing providers. Overall it was most important to learn each child's pace and preferences early on, so we could support them rather than building all this unnecessary scaffolding.

If you are looking for objective resources and inputs, checking with strangers like this is a good idea in that you can get a nice sample in some ways, from people who may think like you. You might also check in with your doc, share what you're doing in practice, and tell them that something has got to give here, see what they say. If the doc thinks nothing can give, that's where I'd start to check in with other medical professionals and see what's going on and what other options you have.

There are thousands of different child development perspectives, philosophies, and practices. In the end, you, your partner, and your child will be the ones who really have to be comfortable and compatible with whatever tools you use. Good luck to you and please take care of yourself. Healthy kids are great but healthy parents are also important.
If you think this is bad, don't ask Google "how many raccoons can fit?" or "where can a raccoon fit?"
1. Yes, look at the dietary supplements industry. (To say nothing of audiophile gear industry, but it's a different kettle of fish.)

2. Not stopped from selling stuff which efficacy is not proven. Still stopped from selling stuff which is known dangerous.

3. FDA is just enforcing a CYA policy here. It shifts all decisions to doctors who can decide to prescribe a device or a drug, and are personally accountable for malpractice. No administration wants to lose political points and votes because it allowed something obscure, that something led to an accident, and the accident was turned into a national-level scandal by rage-hungry media.
Thank you - that was very helpful
Wearing a mask is all benefit for me. I'm fine with masking in public being a lifetime rule. I like looking out at masked faces, and I like wearing a mask.

I have no idea why anyone would find it uncomfortable in any way.

And yes, you might corona-ize me. But I'm more afraid that the antimasker idiot will do that than someone wearing a mask.

I'm not exactly sure how this works, it seems you need to have to have a hulu subscriptions, which means you are paying for the content.

From the instructions "Note: Ensure you are signed in before following these steps." You are just able to download the video/ You'll at that point likely watch it once and then not watch it again.

But sometimes when your traveling and you don't have internet and you want to watch something, this is useful. I mean if you got the video files through someother DRM free site, you wouldn't have these restrictions at all and you wouldn't be paying at all. Then you could argue you are consuming without compensating the creators, which I think wouldn't be right.
Huge waste of space both sides of the Atlantic.

Some of the crap I’ve had pulled on me:

- Salary expectations not shared with the company. Went through the entire process only to get lowballed.

- Bait and switch by offering one enticing job only to inform me that’s no longer available and would you be interested in working for a body shop?

- Phone calls at work. Emails at work. The list goes on.

Also them insisting on phone calls is easy to explain. It’s because people are pressured easily over the phone.

understood.

but I didnt say or imply that

what I was saying is that if you as a recruiter demonstrate that you disrespect my time -- important upfront when one is bombarded with hundreds of recruiters a month/week -- then that is jerky behavior. one's "reasons" don't matter, they are indistinguishable from "excuses". only actions and impacts. upfront folks ought to use their time efficiently. treating every random recruiter ping to the red carpet is a recipe for much time wasting and frustration. its more polite to nail down and filter out any showstoppers as upfront as you can. email is much faster and easier at doing that, and less prone to being gamed/abused by the recruiter as a bonus.

once an initial fit is determined, then yes doing a brief call can be nice. but as a candidate, I dont honestly care if the recruiter himself/herself is sane or pleasant to talk to on the phone. I do care much more about the job details, and about whether the hiring company likes me or not, upfront. Anything that is an obstacle to that should be minimized or routed around.

but in a sea of alternative uses of my time the recruiter is competing for my time, the talent candidate's time, just as much as the reverse, and arguably more so

CAVEATS: decades of real world experience, not theory. I'm also talking more about third-party recruiters not in-house. and when I say "recruiter" I dont mean like the CEO of the hiring company, or a senior tech leader -- those folks tend to be MUCH better uses of call time, plus they inherently signal a hiring company is interested in you. and yes you DO want to get a sense for whether those folks are sane and not-jerks -- they are potential bosses afterall -- and calls help with that.
Nice! I was trying to figure out what the encoding was!

What’s the thinking behind a base64 encoding with double quotes?

Edit: “It is designed for use in environments where "case folding" occurs.”

That explains all the punctuation marks.

Still stupid. Directory names are not known for case folding.

Good ballparks:

* 1:100 odds of being injured in or by a car.

Your page, by the way, suggests 1:2000 for accidents. 49.3:100,000 = 1:2000, not 1:8393. The 1:8393 is for car accidents (which I guess includes being in a car, rather than just hit by a car).
