>That said companies care a lot about the legality of things and not necessarily the morality.

I worked for a fortune 100 company. We are humans, and our customers are humans. We absolutely have morals - at an individual level, and those morals influence how we work
I spent a bit of time using cProfile in Python to see where my program was slow, and optimize. Some dict initialization was also slowing me down, but my feeling also is that regex will probably be a fair bit slower than the string comparison.

Also yeah, my next attempt is going to do some other stuff, I moved to rust to speed it up, but its mostly a learning exercise.

Thanks for sharing!
Realistically, I think that the argument of Apple being way more expensive is simply now outdated. It was true in the past, but I don't think it's the case anymore.
Your logic here is flawed. Even if you've already had covid, the vaccine will give you more protection. That's good. We can't do the reverse (give deliberate natural immunity to those who are already infected), but that's no reason to say that natural immunity is "good enough." That goes for the individual as well as society. Would you decline airbags because seatbelts as effective?

Can you give a specific example of a material negative impact that Joe Rogan's show has had on your life?
There is a huge difference between a candidate "Getting information from Russia" [1] and coordinating on election misinformation campaigns with Russian Intelligence agencies.

There are 10-15 times more drug overdoses than COVID, but there arent significantly more overdoses than previous years. Some increase, but it looks like a steady increase.

In other words, excess death counts would account for overdose deaths because they are expected. They wouldn't be considered "excess" deaths.

The numbers I have seen for excess deaths pretty closely match COVID death numbers as counted from death certificates. So you have two unconnected sources matching up pretty closely. I'd say there is a good chance the near million COVID deaths number we are looking at is pretty close.
Apple could farm their data to see how long people wait to make turns it recommends and adjust the edge weight accordingly. I'm guessing that's what Google does.
We had a local AM station here that the guy broadcast from his laptop in his RV, sending the stream via the internet to the transmitter. So, don't be surprised of some really are run from somebody's laptop...
For Windows, you can run docker in WSL at least. It's also easy to install using the script at https://get.docker.com.

It will warn you about WSL and recommend Docker Desktop for Windows, which is funny since Docker Desktop can also run docker for you in WSL.
I take FU money to mean you no longer need a job. For many that means millions. Even with that you may not have psychological safety: being able to say FU and saying FU are 2 different things. You

Highlights from the Comments on Health Care Systems
We’ll also be doomed if this is just a trial run that just enables authoritarianism in another decade. If people roll over on this now, the government won’t care to subdue the populace more & more in the future.
For that level at Amazon, practice Leetcode Medium. There's usually a system design question so practice those as well.
This is also heavily affected by how a country's traffic laws work. In my country we teach a hierarchy of lower to higher vunerability, with pedestrians at the most vulnerable position in this hierarchy. The whole traffic law is centered around protecting and favoring those with higher vunerability. A driver is still wrong, even when a pedestrian is Jay walking illegally and gets killed.
It’s not ducking the issue, it’s denying the framing. “If you give me the choice of hitting X or Y” of two nearly the same things I would not focus any energy on making the choice, but instead devote my energy to finding a way out of the choice until it’s too late to make any choice. If I can’t find a way out then I want to postpone things as much as possible to allow time for the situation to change.

I deny the whole premise that there are correct moral conclusions in these hairsplitting situations. It’s not the choice itself but the act of struggling with and living with the choice that matters, morally. A machine is incapable of that struggle, so it is immoral to create machines that face such choices. In effect, the self-driving car is an attempt by humans to escape responsibility for whatever damage driving might do.
I remember hell freezing over with iTunes for Windows.
That doesn’t fill Spotifys niche. I can listen to the music I like a million ways, even pirating if I want, but Spotify suggests new music (even though it’s nowhere near as good as Pandora was when I used it years ago.)
What a bizarre comment. He most definitely did do it in hopes of forcing Spotify to drop Rogan. Appearing on the same streaming platform as Rogan costs him nothing (neither financial nor moral). Nobody believes that he and Rogan share beliefs just because they're both on Spotify.

If his principles are that he won't be streamed on the same app as somebody he disagrees with, that's seriously pathetic. He's literally the polar opposite of the coexist bumper sticker.
You forgot the part where there's a pseudo-recipe after the story that catches your eye but doesn't have any measured amounts, and then the actual recipe later.
Recreating the Lora Moon Bounce Delay-Doppler Plot
According to The Verge there is another configuration of this machine with double the RAM and a 4K 240Hz for the same price.

Why in the world would you want a 1080p display just to get an extra 120 FPS? Even if you can perceive that difference (which I kind of doubt) you’re not going to get rates that high with your settings up high anyway. In The Verge’s tests only the old CS:GO got above 150 (it got over 400!).

“ In conclusion, putting a 1080p screen on this system is like sticking an MLB player in a Little League game. Sure, he’s gonna look impressive, but what is the point? These are 4K chips, and I’m not just referring to the price of this unit.”

Chicken McNugget Theorem
Some anecdotes:

I got COVID before there were vaccines and I've received all three shots. While all of my friends caught Omicron, I have not - and I'm the only one among them who got sick beforehand. On the other hand, I have an unvaccinated coworker who has now gotten Delta and Omicron. I know that doesn't prove anything, but it also doesn't make these studies I see any more illuminating either.

As an aside, I'm not even sure I want things to go back to "normal" other than lifted travel restrictions and the anger/frustration/callout culture to go away. Restaurants taking over the streets, working from home, less cars, etc have all been a boon for the way I live my life.
I think there is more problems with the tapes and disks deteriorating, especially if they keep getting used.
My reading of the original AL.com reporting is that every person/role that was supposed to check and balance were in support of the scheme.

The mayor was behind the police chief 100%. The judge was rubber stamping the bogus citations. Even the mass of residents were unaffected by it, and seemed to tacitly support it.
Because the 2.5 million isn't a punishment. It's to "support the AG's anti-trust enforcement which does not receive general fund support". Did you even read the link?

The punishment is that they can no longer have this program.
The Wealthfront happy paths seem to be ACATS transfers of brokerage holdings, or $250k (per day) ACH to/from a bank. They don’t have wire transfers. They can mail checks drawn on a Green Dot cash account but only up to $25k, which probably means they don’t have cashier’s checks.

https://support.wealthfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/3600392637...
From the article, the fee is to support the AG enforcement, it's not meant as a meaningful punitive damage.

> In addition, Amazon will pay $2.25 million to the Attorney General’s Office, which will be used to support the Attorney General’s antitrust enforcement, which does not receive general fund support.
Okay? The point is that Neil Young will be no worse off after this.
My Rust scaffold system with embedded Lua and more

Difficult to see this as a punishment.

Young made the terms of his ultimatum. Spotify obliged and chose the option that suited them best.
Clarification: from the thread it appears that this one specific video has been demonetized rather than the entire channel.
Funny to see the man who tried to sell a high-definition audio snakeoil music player deciding to suddenly listen to scientists.

This is true, but it gets worse with hardware - it's not like your code fries itself because you forgot a character.
This is one of those times when it gets really hard to separate satire from reality.
I recreated the delay-Doppler plot from the recent LoRa Moon bounce experiment I saw discussed here [1] and on Hackaday [2] with a bit of Julia code.

> Multiple states are currently making teaching about racism illegal

They are specifically outlawing teaching racial superiority or inferiority. You can read the Texas bill here: https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=87R&B...

While this is definitely an anti-CRT bill, it does not make "teaching about racism illegal" in any sense.

> half of the country is trying to perform a fascist coup

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coup

Oddly enough, "half of the country" would be approximately a majority. If they are "performing" something, it would basically just be Democracy, though I suspect you're equivocating between a small group of insurrectionists and 175,000,000 people.

Well, you were at least self prescient if mistimed.
It's not true that no distinction is made for natural immunity. The CDC guidelines consider natural immunity from confirmed covid cases as valid for 90 days. That may not match the science, but policy has to trail the science as well as balance the science with public policy strategy.

Google propogation delay, your pipeline's length and delay of devices within that pipe determine the max frequency your circuit can run at (a very high level overview).
Does studying toy operating systems teach strictly more, or just different skills, than studying bare-metal embedded frameworks like https://github.com/rsta2/circle (which powers https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi, unlike Zynthian which is Linux-based (https://zynthian.org/#software))? I dropped out of uni before completing my OS course, and I planned to look into mt32-pi, but sadly struggled with hardware and software setup (game MIDIs wouldn't play right, and in terms of sound design, all the good MT-32 patch editors are for obsolete platforms and many are gone from the Internet).

> But Hangul is great, I wish Thailand would adopt it.

What a weird wish. Does Hangul even have ways to write the in-between consonants in Thai like dt or bp? Does Hangul even have the Thai vowel sound ื (which certainly has no unambiguous way to be written in English)? And then what about tones? Tones in Thai are not written explicitly, but computed based on a number of factors including character classes, length of vowel sound (does Hangul have a way to indicate short or long vowels?), end-of-syllable sound, and tone mark. If you wrote Thai in Hangul, how would you pay homage to loan words from Pali/Sanskrit? Again, just... what a weird wish!
There are people who want extremely high framerates, and they are the people this product is for. They play games that are not CPU-bound below the framerates they want, and they adjust the graphics settings until they achieve those framerates. The fact that they are throwing expensive modern GPU hardware at graphics that may be relatively primitive on a per-frame basis doesn't matter; for them, it's the framerate that matters.

Point is doctors are not robots, they enjoy a significant amount of autonomy, and I still believe that all other things being equal, many doctors are more likely to admit an unvaxxed Covid-positive patient than a vaxxed Covid-positive, because they believe that the unvaxxed patient has a higher risk of more serious symptoms.
I saved passengers unless there were kids in the crosswalk. I'm sure the fact that I have kids played a strong role in that decision. When there were kids in the car and crosswalk, passenger kids win.

I also chose to hit the dogs instead of people but the results said I was neutral on that? It appears I also favored fit people... On my phone I couldn't even tell that some were supposed to appear fit/fat etc. I just saw kids, adults, elderly
Vehicles that don't prioritise the occupants are not going to sell well versus ones that do. It's very hard to imagine that the default could be anything but "protect occupants" in a free market where cars are privately owned. Fleet operators have slightly different incentives, which are to minimise economic damage to the service, a combination of liability/damages and PR.

To make anything else happen, you'd need to regulate. But the "self driving altruism act", which mandates that e.g. the car you just bought must kill your family in order to save pedestrians you don't know - I think it might be really difficult to get that law passed. You might be able to make some headway with fleets.

IMHO markets, human nature and politics constrain the solution space for "self driving moral dilemmas" to a small subset of what's theoretically possible.
You can fudge 1/8” in some things, but lots of woodworking has to be way more precise. Just about any joinery, parts of cabinetry, parts of finish carpentry.

>It looks like their wealth went up if you measure starting from March 2020 when there was a stock market collapse, sure, but poor people's wealth went up and their income has gone up significantly with pay raises since.

Poor people don't have "wealth". Most lived paycheck to paycheck before the pandemic hit and they lost their jobs and were forced to stay home and take care of their children. The ones lucky enough to keep their jobs didn't have their salaries increase nearly as much as inflation, which massively eroded their ability to afford even food and other basic necessities. As cited above, the world's richest people doubled and tripled their net worth during this period. Millions of working people face eviction and homelessness, today, after the recent expiration of eviction moratoriums. Its simply a willful denial of reality to reject these easily checked facts.
> Who specifically do you think caused the pandemic polarization?

The progressive left saw it as a strategy to attack an opposing party president in an election year. The pandemic was their only real hope of election success. Their candidate field was weak. The economy was strong leading up to 2020. The president was polarizing, but was immensely strong among his base and had cross over appeal to the blue collar middle class and increasing support of other demographics that usually vote Democrat.

I think there is no doubt in my mind that no pandemic Trump would have easily won a second term. You can argue that the pandemic polarization strategy was successful in that Trump lost, but there was a cost. Also considering the significant lack of success that the Biden administration has had managing the pandemic, too, I am of the opinion that the cost of the increased public polarization may not be worth it.

There's a lot of miscellaneous things that can break on a spacecraft

Reaction wheels (which use momentum to help you point the vehicle) are a semi common failire. There's usually some redundancy built in, but if enough of them wear out you'll lose stability and pointing accuracy.

Even radiation-hardened electronics will wear out over time. If you look at unprocessed images from the Hubble, there's a shitload of pixels that have been fried in the cameras (the effect kind of look like stuck pixels in a computer monitor)
