Another way to think about it is the taxi companies enjoy slightly/moderately less profits than they could maximally get in exchange for a safer and better society (eg 24/7 taxi coverage). The same can be said for drivers licenses, car insurance, employee benefits, etc.

Instead of the government acting as either entirely public or entirely private, why shouldn’t it act instead as a mediator between the public and the private? This seems to be the most logical decision for me compared to either full socialism or full libertarianism.

These are my favorite pens I've ever used. Why?

- The eraser literally never runs out. I've had 1 of them for years and gone through 5+ ink refills

- They actually erase well with very minimal smearing unlike the old "erasable" pens of the 2000's

- Writing in ink while having the erasability of a pencil is great

- The ink does disappear in high heat, but I have never lost anything important. I can almost always get it back using the freezer method

Highly recommend!

This. I remember the day when I casually asked my cofounder, an amazing storyteller, how his day was.

He answered: „Awesome. I had 8 slides this morning. Now I have three.“

That day, something fundamentally clicked in me.

I learned that day that condensing and sharpening information towards a punchline is real, hard and meaningful work.

What problems does it create? Isn't preventive care a good thing? Also Japan does annual physicals much more rigorous that in the US. I wish what is done in the US was more rigorous because it would have caught the autoimmune disease that caused my kidney failure. Unfortunately by the time there are visible symptoms, the damage cannot be reversed.
Sanctions are a step down from going to war. Are you advocating that sanctions should be skipped, and we should just go straight to war?

Sanctions are just one of the few tools in the toolbox that can be used to punish a country's leadership, besides going to war.
I've rented and owned while raising a child. In terms of my lifestyle, I vastly preferred renting. My weekends were totally free to go on adventures with my child. Now that I own a house, at least one of those weekend days is devoted to keeping up with maintenance and cleaning.

There are many other things I like about owning a home, but in terms of quality of my life, I preferred renting. Financially, owning a home feels better in the long run, even when maintenance and other costs are included.

It really all depends on what you value. Finances, freedom to make your space your own, not having to worry about maintenance, etc.
BNP Paribas bars Russia-based staff from computer systems as cyber fears grow
Self hosting from residential broadband connections is going to become a problem as long as ISPs continue to build highly asymmetric speed last mile connections.

For example a randomly chosen Comcast "gigabit" speed DOCSIS3/DOCSIS3.1 link might speed test at 1000 down, but 16.5 Mbps up.

This is an intentional design decision based on the available RF channels and expected traffic usage pattern of a few thousand customers fed from a particular node.

Same for many WISPs which allocate bandwidth in PtMP radio systems at an 85:15 ratio down/up, or starlink, or most other consumer grade last mile DIA systems.

Quite a lot of condemning, demanding and calling for actions from the western society. Yet, not once was the word "war" mentioned. Not once were the actions of the Russian government and Putin condemned.

How about you - Roskomsvoboda focus your energy on stopping the war, so Ukrainians can also enjoy the benefits of new technologies?
Russians have been living with Putin in charge for the last twenty years. I doubt that anyone immune to the propaganda will suddenly start to believe it, and I also doubt that people that believe the propaganda could have their minds suddenly changed.

Not fizzbuzz, but at one of my past companies we did a similar low complexity problem (use any language you fancy, google if you need to, you get a list of things, filter them by some attribute and group it by another, print out the list per group) during a phone screen, and people did fail it. Typically doesn't happen in later interviews, unless people have a complete mental breakdown due to stress.

I've had two (Japanese models) sitting on my desk since maybe 2015 without drying out.
Ages ago, I had a second job as a speed-dating host for a social events company. I did it partly for the (beer) money, partly to meet women at her other social events for free (she charged for them), and partly to get her brash-but-actually-quite-useful online dating advice (that helped me find my now-wife, now that I think about it!).

The basic premise was simple: get 10-20 people into a hip restaurant or bar, set up tables, have women pick the tables they sit at, then have the men go from table to table having five-minute conversations. After everything was said and done, everyone would write the names of people they wanted to see again on a form and hand them to me.

I would manually go through each form and send emails to matches after the event was over. I also had a 24-hour soft SLO and a hard 72-hour SLO. This usually took me a whole 2-3 hours to do per event. I also mismatched people several times because humans gonna human.

I was very fluent in PowerShell at the time, so upon realizing that this can be automated with a matrix solver, I wrote a script that took the names of everyone that submitted a form, then, name by name, asked for everyone's matches, and sent everyone their match emails from a template I wrote. It took me about six hours to write and run through manual tests. (I know better now and use TDD for everything!)

My 2-3 hour error prone process went down to five minutes, tops, with no errors. It was beautiful. Towards the end of my stint doing this job, I was able to run this script _as people gave me back their forms_ and have emails queued up to send out once everyone was gone. I spent the remaining 2.95 hours I got back walking to my favorite izakaya and eating their amazing pork belly rice bowl.

Thanks, Julia, for making me miss my twenties for the first time in a while!

Meh. Might be an American thing, if you watch TV or news the images of persons will be constantly telling you to ask your doctor about this, consult a medical professional before this other activity they advertise, and oh you gotta see a dentist every six months. Just demand creation, better just to get a blood-pressure test when you do see a doctor and a cholesterol test based on the result.
That was my biggest question too. patients die all the time after receiving a human organ transplant just due to the body being in a poor state and/or rejecting the organ. So it was either that case in which even if he received a human heart the same outcome of him dying would have happened. Or it was the pig heart that was the problem. Hopefully it can be determined which case happened, and I am glad he got to spend a few more months with his family.
Many of us believe that Internet or not will have basically no impact on this question of turning Russians against Putin.

I have lived through the entire life of the Internet and seen only the exact opposite things happened that we all expected and hoped would happen with free and open access to information. Conspiracy theories thrived rather than got rebutted, political discourse worsened, it did not improve. The power of large corporations increased, power was not democratized.

Perhaps without Internet young people will be bored and when young men are idle they tend to turn to the kind of violent uprising Russia probably needs.
Yeah, its very hard to say that Challenger was because of a miscommuncation from the vendor engineers. They wrote out directly [0] "Recommendations: O-ring temperature must be > 53F at launch", and the temperature of the air at launch was 36F and measurements on the solid rocket boosters (where the o-rings are located) got down to 25F and 8F [1].

But their recommendation was challenged by the NASA SRB managers. And after an offline discussion the SRB vendor came back and had changed their opinion that it was safe. And the NASA SRB manager never brought up the o-ring temperature concern to the rest of the management team.

> you only need evidence at trial.

False.

> before then, cops and the prosecutor only need "probable cause" which is typically understood to allow that evidence may be gathered later.

No, it isn't; probable cause must be based in evidence. For cases requiring indictment, this evidence is presented to a grand jury before charges can formally be filed; for cases where the conditions allowing warrantless arrest do not apply, it occurs in the presentation of evidence to support an arrest warrant; for other cases the evaluation (by hearing or otherwise) happens generally within 48 hours of arrest, and delay to gather evidence has specifically been ruled unconstitutional.
I would, but the previous recruiters I've worked with, that are good and that got me hired, often become in-house recruiters for specific companies. This makes sense because those jobs are typically better-paid and less stressful, so of course the best recruiters will gravitate to them with time.

So now I focus on filtering the 5-10 new recruiters that contact me through linkedin in or my email every day down to the positions I'm actually interested in.
Yeah I think symbolically that would have good chance of triggering political action before the election.

Oh man, you aren't alone. This is nightmare fuel. I would move away from the area guaranteed just to escape the possibility. As far as I know, my only fear is spiders and it makes up for being blasé about almost everything else. I still check my room before I get into bed because 2 years ago a House Spider (about the size of a pint glass hole) was on the headboard as I was minding my own business in bed. Not too long ago I had a nightmare about that. Never mind it's parachuting yellow brothers from the sky being a thing. No way.

OPEC oil ministers know that very high oil prices (120+) is against their interest as it will effect long term demand and accelerate decarbonisation efforts.
And your point is? They can use their own services, nobody wants to prevent that. But guess what? Putin doesn't like its citizen's to be able to read outside sources and is shutting things outside access himself.

Even BBC has to restart using AM radio for its russian services (not done since the Cold War).

Stop 'victim playing' and blaming the west, when you should be blaming your leader for the massive censorship going on in Russia right now.
In our case (Apify.com) there was a complete outage of SQS (15mins+), most likely DNS problems + EC2 instances got restarted probably as a result of an SQS outage.

Yeah, that's why I switched my Fedora systems to Pipewire before it became the default. At some point, Pulseaudio CPU usage went up so much that the fans on even my desktop system were noticeably spinning up. Maybe it was a Pulseaudio regression that was eventually fixed but I never looked back.

LVADs are implanted in your chest. Blood doesn't leave your body, but do they have external batteries. You have a wire coming out of your chest (or neck/head, sometimes) which is a constant infection worry. AFAIK the only external pumps are like, countertop kind of things.

They're ideally a stopgap, but even still it's typically a massive change in quality of life. The left ventricle is what feeds your entire body blood; the right ventricle only feeds the lungs. When the left ventricle fails, blood backs up and starts overflowing into the lung space. It's exceptionally unpleasant. The right ventricle is usually in much better shape so an LVAD can be almost like having a functioning transplant except for the risk of infection.

Don't Look Up and Trusting Experts
I'm of course happy to know they're harmless and (as far as we can tell) not horribly dangerous for the ecosystem, but speaking as someone who

A) has arachnophobia and a general fear of insects, and

B) lives completely alone and can't get someone else to deal with stuff like this for me,

would someone who lives in Georgia be willing to confirm to me whether or not they come into houses, and how serious of a game plan I need to make for dealing with them?

I deal with house centipedes/crickets[0] with Raid and then scooping up the body after they're dead. Setting up bug barriers, keeping things clean, and keeping down any other insect populations that they'd feed on seems to deal with most everything else. Tiny bugs like boxelder bugs show up rarely, and are small enough that I can squish them without much trouble, but anything bigger than an inch is tough to deal with.

So if I'm likely to find one of these on my wall in my living room (even just occasionally), I legitimately need to plan ahead and figure out a one-person strategy for killing/moving them out of my house in a way that it isn't traumatizing, and if conventional bug barriers don't work to keep them out then I need to figure out something else for reducing the likelihood of them coming in the house.

If they're just outside, that's not so much of a problem, big bugs are fine outside, although it'll likely put a bit of a damper on my willingness to go hiking in wood trails given people's descriptions of the webs.

> swift UI both had to add language features just to support if and loop expressions

The special syntax for loops in SwiftUI is important, because plain-old loops are always eager. For example, if you were building building a list using a loop, it would iterate over every item up-front to generate the list's body. With the `ForEach` struct, on the other hand, you provide the block to create each item, and it can be invoked lazily as the content will appear.

Microsoft’s Return Puts Focus on Workers Who Are Skipping the Office
So the solution to a problem that didn't exist before is to buy new hardware? Seems pretty wasteful and worse, not to mention some of that hardware is a vehicle with only an AUX port.

The $10 adapter apple sells doesn't sound as good as the one they used to build into their phones, and removes inline volume/play/pause controls. Not only that, but now I lose access to my phone's charging port in order to use a wired connection (Charging needed during GPS usage), unless I buy an even more expensive adapter — most of which are unreliable and have universally terrible reviews.

Macs still enjoy the best of both worlds with wired + wireless support — including the upcoming 2022 models — and it's hard to deny the phone (And tablet!) experience hasn't gotten worse without the 3.5mm jack.
Yes we have those in Georgia too. I used to see them a lot but I think the Joro might be taking over their habitat.
OK, Western providers do this, too. But I think the much bigger problem is that all independent media, everything except reliably pro-Kremlin sources, is being very aggressively shut down from the inside. And that includes access to outside channels and programs.

While I generally agree that the West should not be shutting down the information pipes, in this environment the additional harm of such actions may be minimal.
