What does that actually get you, beyond cursory verification of your TIN and the customary background check? I look nothing like my valid photo ID, which was taken just over nine years ago. I now have a nose ring and a shaved head, I've lost my facial hair,and I carry forty pounds more muscle than I did in 2013. Lots of folks with nothing to hide don't identify as their gender in their photo ID. How can you tell over Zoom that the ID is real and undoctored?

There will be recourse. This is not US-style civil forfeiture.
Looking up prior convictions seems necessary to establishing the credibility of someone filing a police report. You shouldn't be able to use the police to resolve crimes against you, yet expect yourself immune to the same legal system in which you seek benefit.

This is particularly pernicious in communities where trust in the police is low, because if you "break rank" you can force the police onto the community, but the community as a whole can't benefit from what you bring to the police.

Name me a protest since 2020 that had a specific and documented demand to appeal to a head of state to remove a democratically elected government and replace it with a "people's council" composed entirely of the protestors?
A lot of that is just developer/general employee incentives.

As an employee, it is far more important for me to avoid blame than to be efficient as I will get no credit for marginal improvements/no hit for marginal harms, but will get blamed if there is a very noticeable bad incident.

I am far more likely to have an annoyed boss from the wrong person showing up to work than driving away 100 candidates as the interview seemed hostile.

The protesters are, by and large, not truckers. There are some 300000 truckers (most of them vaccinated) in Canada. A few hundred of them are involved in the protests. It is not a truckers protest, it’s a people in pickups and passenger cars protest.

As for pay, I’m seeing wages of $85K + bennies advertised around here. That’s not a bad wage.

All consumer banks have identical products, preventing you from starting things like a tontine/friends cash pool without a business behind it. KYC means you have to send in recordings of your face.

They will not be forced to get vaccinated. No one has been forced to get vaccinated yet, and the provincial governments (it's not a federal jurisdiction) are unlikely to start doing so now.
The complex web designs manipulating us to click, buy or subscribe
I'm pretty sure the decision to require truckers to be vaccinated at the border crossing or quarantine (no, they're not forced to vaccinate) came about around Nov 18th when Delta was ramping up. It's just that the implementation was not immediate. I think it made sense back then to try and figure out ways to generally increase the vaccine coverage. By the way the US has the exact same requirement (so even getting the Canadian Federal government to reverse its position here wouldn't change anything for those truckers).

Now with Omicron (for the last few weeks at least) it's clearly not needed any more, but governments move slowly, so it'd take a few more weeks. There's other restrictions that were put in around that timeframe that no longer make sense, like requiring PCR tests, and all those are on their way out.

This protest makes no sense except as a way of sowing chaos and seeking to destabilize the country.

That's a editorialized quote. The source survey didn't say anything about "immediately" or "all" restrictions.

The specific question was "It’s time to end restrictions and let people self isolate if they’re at risk.", which describes basically the process that basically all provinces were going through prior to the protests.
> What is the criteria for being essential?

The criteria would be "Whatever a jury or judge determines what the definition of essential is, in each specific lawsuit or case". Thats how the law works.

The law is not determined by some sort of exact programming code.

Instead, the law is determined by people. "I'll know it when I see it" is an actual argument, that the supreme court gave, for determining a similar question about what the definition of pornography is.

So, the answer for what "essential" is, is the same answer that the literal supreme court used, which is "I'll know it when I see it" or "whatever the judge/jury decides".

If that answer is good enough for the supreme court, then it is good enough for me.

> You’re invoking the fallacy, not me

Actually you were the one using the fallacy. Because you are attempting to demand an exact cutoff point, which is not necessary. The law does not need to define exact cutoff points ahead of time.

Instead, the law can consider those questions, as they come, in a court case/trial.
It's not callous, Navalny receives the amount of media attention that he does because he is relevant to western interests in Russia. He does not garner nearly as much support as it may seem among the Russian people because he is a hardline right wing politician which is something Russians have always avoided. Also, after Yeltsin most Russians avoid any politicians with western backing for obvious historical reasons. Navalny is a propaganda tool for the west and nothing more, he is not a relevant replacement for Putin nor is he someone the west should really be supportive of unless they are on the payroll of major defense contractors. How can westerners be supportive of anti racist policies at home while supporting a racist nationalist abroad without being hypocritical?
You missed my point (which I admittedly didn’t make well). Because DNA is so ubiquitous, policy and regulation is the only way to provide safeguards (and there are already laws regulating the use of DNA for health insurance issuance). Rape victims, without exception, should not be dissuaded from coming forward out of fear of future crimes (speaking specially of this instance), but DNA databases and collection are still a useful tool for crime solving. It should be regulated, but still permitted, while ensuring victims are not disenfranchised or harmed in the process (when dna collection occurs as part of their own crime investigations).

The genie is already out of the bottle wrt DNA, so governance and oversight are all that’s left to ensure it’s not wielded improperly (in a very similar, but not quite the same way, as photographs in public).

(my dna has been genotyped by all major commercial providers, and is also public as part of Harvard’s personal genome project)

Is there a legal basis for requiring Harvard, a private university, to change its admission criteria (however arbitrary or unfair they may be?) Private universities routinely make admissions decisions based on non-academic criteria including geographic diversity, likelihood of parental donations, ability to pay, athletic skill, and demographic desirability (e.g. maintaining similar numbers of men and women.) Needless to say, some of those criteria convey additional advantages upon the privileged and wealthy.

Or is it simply the power of the purse, given that Harvard depends heavily on grants (especially research grants) from the federal government?

(Edit: the answer appears to be both: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination by private schools receiving federal funding, and Section 1981 prohibits discrimination in private contracts; discrimination may also affect the tax-exempt status of universities.)

(Another question is whether Title IX permits admission of men at a higher rate as a form of equity, or prohibits it as a form of discrimination.)
Glad to see another Perl fan that appreciates Julia. I've always felt, in a way that's hard to articulate, that Julia captures a lot of the spirit of the design of Perl, beyond superficial syntax rules. Something about trusting its users with power, and solving real problems while keeping programming fun.

By default: yes. However, the vendor could create a private room just for the admins, where sensitive topics could be discussed.

Some other thoughts: the vendor could group all admins into a separate "customer", with their own set of rooms.

Very similarly, the vendor could also group all users a single "customer" that would function as a community (but where all users are authenticated).

Great question!
> If you would "never even think" to realize that ⇒ in your editor is actually =>, after having installed a programming ligature font where that is always advertised, that's on you.

Sounds like we agree that a font that does this should never be a default. I don't think customized environments to the extent that one developer sees a different view of the code from another are a good idea (partly because I think reviewing and pair-programming are very valuable), but I guess if you want to set up something like that it's fine as long as you're not pushing it on anyone else.

> And any developer should already be well aware that no common language uses symbols beyond ASCII, so seeing ⇒ should be clear enough already that it's a ligature.

I've been using ⇒ in Scala for over a decade, shrug.
A lot of that is just developer/general employee incentives.

As an employee, it is far more important for me to avoid blame than to be efficient as I will get no credit for marginal improvements/no hit for marginal harms, but will get blamed if there is a very noticeable bad incident.

I am far more likely to have an annoyed boss from the wrong person showing up to work than driving away 100 candidates as the interview seemed hostile.

So the calculation is heavily weighted towards fortification for me as an employee, as I benefit not from the enterprise value but do from the value of my boss not being annoyed with me.

>Affirmative Action isn't intended to just give non-whites opportunities equally. It's intended to restore equity by giving greater opportunity to those historically disadvantaged, focusing on the most disadvantaged first (descendants of American slavery, refugees of war, etc).

Is that how the harvard applications questions are structured? ie. do they ask "are you a descendant of american slavery or refugee of war?", or do they ask "what is your ethnicity, white, hispanic, black, asian, mixed, other?". I'll be more willing to believe your explanation if the questions are structured like the former rather than the latter. However, in my experience I've almost never saw the former.

>> I have this nagging feeling the US really wants a proxy war in Ukraine for whatever reason

No net upside probably, but there might be some small positives for the US. Here's an argument for one:

"The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It's About Germany"

https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/the-crisis-in-ukraine-is-not-ab...

You might justifiably disagree with almost all the suppositions in this article, but I think it is correct to say that the US does not want the Nord Stream II pipeline to become operational. If Russia invades, the US would have a good excuse to block the pipeline a part of the imposed sanctions. I doubt the US policy is as focused on achieving this as the article implies, but it would be an upside.

There's really been nothing drastic or extreme about Canadian health mandates at all (I had a lovely dinner at a restaurant last night) and health officials have been telegraphing that the end is in sight for weeks before this protest even started.

Right now the hospitals continue to be overloaded and so long as that is the case the government's health officials absolutely have a right to limit risky activities that are likely to explode the amount of people going to the hospital.

If governments recklessly open up here the system could fall apart. Already Alberta and Saskatchewan have conceded to the protestors and are winding down health measures so we'll see what happens. I hope the worst fears don't come to realization.
The poster's assertion that none of the pandemic money was spent on increasing ICU capacity is false, capacities were increased in every province, in mine by about 35-40%.

Easier to "interpret"? Maybe not.

Easier on the eyes though is one aspect of the point they are making, an aspect I can get behind.

I think there is a way of thinking where you step outside yourself, try to see things in a novel way as though seeing them for the first time. I think in those times of reflection/meditation, you do see how maybe a thing like a shape can worm its way into your subconscious — cause a mild sense of unease for example.

Designers, artists, I would argue are more in tune with that — maybe more sensitive to it?
The risk of injury between foot strike styles is rather similar. It’s not a big deal. I would definitely emphasize individual physiology. I have seen way to many folks try to change their stride too quickly and injure themselves. Same with too much running too soon for new runners. Cadence is a better predictor of injury than foot strike style. I always encourage people to work on their turn over and get their cadence off, many novice runners overstride, which is inefficient and safe to correct with higher cadence.

The C API for Julia also has almost no documentation. There is a getting started guide, which is great, but if you want to do anything more advanced (e.g. creating structs like in your example), you'll end up reading the source code to try to puzzle through which functions to use in julia.h. There's also an apparent limitation that whichever thread initializes Julia is the only one that can later eval code, which was surprising. The language itself is very cool, but it has a long way to go to be easy to embed like Python is.

This reminds me of “The Computer Won’t Let Me” problem with many companies’ customer support lines. You call about some edge case problem, like your modem’s MAC addressed was entered wrong by the installer tech (not a real example but whatever). The support agent would like to help you, but your problem is sufficiently off the normal rails that the agent can’t manually correct it. The field is not editable on his screen, and that’s that. The process won’t allow them to fix it. This happens a lot with billing errors. An exceptional outage happens and the agent wants to help but they can’t because the Holy Computer was programmed to not trust customer support to adjust people’s bills. I’m sorry, Dave, but I’m afraid I cannot do that.

>I didn't say you endorsed OPs views.

OP is a citizen in one country who donated to a political movement in another country. In discussing the "why" of that, you asked me:

>So you think it's acceptable for citizens in one country to fund political movements in other countries?

That's exactly what OP did. The manner in which you phrase your question, along with your follow up question that assumed my answer to the former would be, "Yes", strongly implies I have endorsed OP's views.

>You said that this was the same as someone in one part of the US funding political action in another part of the US. Apocryphon noted that Canada is a sovereign country and not part of the US. You replied that this didn't change the point of your original post. This implied that you don't see a distinction between funding political activity within your own country and funding political activity in another country and is independent of the OPs political stance.

One part of the US funding political action in another US state; someone in Brazil funding political action in India; someone on the moon funding political action on Venus. The point is that $PERSON1 from $REGION1 may feel that $POLITICALMOVEMENT in $REGION2 holds a lot of views that $PERSON1 strongly believes in, and as such they want to donate to them. This is backed up by OP's response confirming shared views. That's what was asked - why donate to another country? - and all I did was given a reason why, named locales be damned.

Now, I can grant that state-to-state and country-to-country are different things. That said, for the sake of a quick example pulled out of my ass, it worked; you're just unable to see the forest for the trees.
