Fukuyama is almost certainly wrong or at best he is too early with his prediction

"What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government."

In many cases, people ostensibly using stereo sound may as well be using mono sound. Stereo speakers built into a TV that's 20 feet away, or watching a video on their smartphone without headphones; technically these people are using stereo sound but with the speakers so close to each other relative to the listener, it might as well be mono.

I think if you want to make widely accessible audio content, you should be taking this into account. Make it intelligible in mono first, then worry about the rest.
Here's one I like to share with people since it feels so topical today. Mark Pitcavage asking Usenet in 1995 why Calvin and Hobbes had almost no black characters. 1995 was while Calvin was still being published.

Labor law simply hasn’t caught up with the times. We have classifications for “employees” and “contractors” and gig work really does fall into both in many ways.

A new classification with fair labor law applied to it is needed. Hourly employees have the FLSA for example.

Arguing for either side here is impossible because they are both right in sone ways and wrong in sone ways. We need clear guidelines and classification.
State laws do not supersede federal treaties, but the federal government does not have the authority to enter into a treaty which would violate the Constitution.

Insofar as the UN Charter does not violate the constitution, you are correct that it is supreme to state laws and state constitutions, but it cannot by definition run contrary to the Constitution as the federal government would not have been able to enter into it.

> Thus, a properly/legally concluded U.S. treaty overrules any STATE law and any STATE Constitution, but a properly/legally framed U.S. treaty does not, may not, can not, and is forbidden to overrule the U.S. Constitution or abrogate the Sovereignty of the United States. If it does, it is not bona fide. It is a usurpation. It is not "under the Authority of the United States" to make such a treaty.

Yep, this is it. Ever wondered why syllabi and problem statements are so long, convoluted, and oddly specific? It all boils down to "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, it's going in the syllabus." [0]

I don't begrudge someone for being wrong; anyone doing anything worthwhile is going to be wrong and make errors sometimes. But I get the impression that this guy just wants to act like his garbage "end of history" thing never happened.
Oh wow. Blue Cross hosed that?

Max Out of Pocket:
This is the yearly maximum accumulation that an insured individual must pay before the insurer takes on full financial responsibility for subsequent claims. This comes in generally one of two flavors: a family or individual.

The individual is straightforward. If you have a MOOP of $1000, and you've paid out $1000 in copays or coinsurance after meeting your deductible on just you, you no longer owe any contribution on claims for you, for that year. However, someone else in your family on your insurance will have to have their copays/coinsurance paid until either their individual MOOP is hit, or between the two of you you accunulate enough for the family MOOP to kick in, which depending on the nature of the plan, will start covering expenses for everyone else in the family unit.

Out_of_pocket_max is likely the individual MOOP.
Max_out_of_pocket_max is probably a terribly named family or Group MOOP.
These should not be confused with policy or lifetime maximums, which are caps to the amount of a specific benefit the insurer is willing to pay out for you as an individual period.

I know for a fact places screw that all up. I spend a large chunk of time making sure things like that do not stick around.

> Why are adults enjoying things clearly meant for kids?

There are many potential reasons. Abnegation, power fantasy, sense pleasure, social cohesion (being able to discuss with your peers what's in the zeitgeist). I could spend a paragraph on each of these and why they are reasonable for adults.

Your attitude is narrow minded, and you've resorted to insults to try to make your point on several occasions, rather than having an investigative, curious mind. You've drawn your conclusion before interrogating the details.

Academic research into games has identified 8 or nine broad categories of why people play games, and I'm sure there's something similar for movies.

I've been in the unfortunate position of having had to fire about 5 people over my career. I take it as a very solemn responsibility that requires full attention and compassion for the person being fired. I make it a real conversation, where I try to make them fully understand the position of their teammates.

What is interesting is that most of the time (4 of the 5 times) the person understands fully, gets their shit in order, and goes out and gets another more appropriate job. These firings are good for the team, and so far as I can tell, good for the individual.

One time, however, the individual didn't see it this way, and went to great lengths to keep their cushy sinecure, including but not limited to reporting random things about teammates to HR. This burned a lot of bridges, and I'm really surprised this person did this. It showed a huge lack of awareness of social convention and a startling degree of unprofessionalism.

In May 2020, Paul Tudor Jones, an investor with a long track record of success, accurately predicted our current predicament and recommended [1] the following trades as good inflation hedges:

- Gold
- The Yield Curve (long US2Y, short US10Y)
- NASDAQ 100
- Bitcoin
- US cyclicals (long)/US defensive (short)
- AUDJPY
- TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities)
- GSCI (Goldman Sachs Commodity Index)
- JPM Emerging Market Currency Index

One caveat is that some of these bets are not easily accessible to retail traders.

Another is that TIPS are disputed as a good inflation hedge. One reason for this is that they are indexed to the CPI, which, some argue, significantly understates real inflation.

With inflation already raging, the upside on these bets might not be great if placed in March 2022. Of course, if you expect high inflation to be persistent, these may still be viable.

I know this is harsh but if you have ADHD, difficulty prioritizing work or are disorganised to the extent that you can't perform academically at the required level to complete a degree then you shouldn't be wasting your money and time going to university and should instead look for something that better suits your talents.
In regards to the governor, only questions have been asked in this thread - no claims have been made. Are you confused and meant to post in a different thread?

The talking points about white supremacists supporting this person or that person are all just an excuse for why they lost. Just partisan hacks who are bitter they lost so they point the finger at the other side and say mean things. They can't accept any blame on themselves so they desperately make up Boogeymen. Pretty childish imo. Note that this general behavior isn't limited to the left, the right is guilty too (e.g. it was antifa!).

So yeah, no. The OP here used the word fascist in reference to the idea of "bring back the good old days".
When a boot ROM fires (it was via INT19 IIRC), the boot ROM runs, terminates and leaves the system. The size is smaller, it's not persistent, and it can't communicate with anything on the OS.

When booted from the ROM, it just downloads pxelinux.0 binary in most cases, and transfers control to it, and just vanishes.

The UEFI is persistently running at the background, has communication pipes with the OS (some of it is visible via /sys/firmware/efi), and has much larger surface like direct access to disks and network stack via drivers (it can directly read your files and work on them via proper FS driver modules).

There's also at least one open source sound driver too (https://github.com/Goldfish64/AudioPkg), so it can listen to your environment if it wants, at least in theory.
Many engineering programs have their most challenging courses set up as semester long projects.

In chemical engineering the final boss is the process design class, a project where you are asked to produce a chemical substance with desired properties at scale without losing money. Almost everything you learned during the program has to be used to pull it off. Programming, numerical methods, CAD, Transport phenomena, kinetics, physical chemistry, thermodynamics. It really is the best all around test for a chemical engineer.

While this is feasible for the senior year, I am not sure if you can convert for example calculus 1 into a semester long project.
That is true. I've updated the info, though I couldn't quite find the exact date of the publication of "Proclus' Commentary on the First Book of Euclid's Elements".

For a while I was pushing the no-fly zone as well, until I read this article. I'm surprised Russia would be heading for an outright defeat, and if true they've marshaled the bulk of Russian forces in this conflict, I have to wonder what the rest of the defense position looks like for Russia?

For example, if China were to, say, start rolling across Siberia, besides moving the mother of all bowel movements, there's absolutely no way in my mind Russia could stop a complete Chinese defeat.

In fact, if China did invade Russia, they could do so to "stop a raving mad man" and I dare say be cheered on by many in the west. China could...almost redeem a piece of itself. That would start a nuclear war, however, because Putin would simply press the button..but it's fodder for thought how China could play a role.
I agree, for timestamp, I often use ms or sec offsets. But I do not dare say it because I pass for an old fool.
Why Daylight Saving Is the Actual Worst
> a system that assures that all citizens of some political grouping (country, region, state) have access to healthcare without it being an undue financial burden

In broad strokes, that’s how I’d define it as well but, as with many things, there are devils in the details.

Should it be only “citizens” or should it cover all “lawful, permanent residents”, “anyone lawfully present”, or “anyone who can get themself into the covered territory”? If it’s only citizens and excludes mere residents, is that “universal”? [and in that case, this puts non-citizen residents at a huge disadvantage]

Should all care be covered, in unlimited amounts? Only well-accepted, standard care? Or experimental treatments as well? Should expected life outcomes (either absolute or relative among the possible care plans) be factored into the approval process?

Should public-paid care be metered in some way, with supplemental or elective care being paid out of pocket?

Should healthcare-adjacent services be covered? (independent living, assisted living, or nursing homes, or travel to medical care [routine commute, ambulance, or medevac])

Who defines what “undue financial burden” is?

It’s easy to imagine two people both strongly being “for universal healthcare” and disagreeing on many critical details.
> I bet you could understand almost everything with all vowels replaced with schwas.

No. Have you tried understanding someone who can only pronounce consonants but also whose dialect is foreign? It's unintelligible. Vowels absolutely serve a purpose. You're just used to hearing your own words spoken back to you in the same way you've always expected them.
This is an example of "when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail", but as a designer I would use Figma for this. Smart Animate could do all of the stuff I saw in that Google illustration. It's not a timeline-based animation tool, so it would be cumbersome and kind of a hack, but it is free.
It's not a coincidence that all the main characters featured in this video are women. The main thing the filmmakers are trying to show is that these are girl-bosses who can do anything men can do (and more) and it's so important to show that with utter, relentless completeness, that they've created characters that are magical, who don't need to overcome anything, characters who matter mostly as individuals, who have no duties or responsibilities to anyone else (most certainly not to any men). They're just total kick-ass take-no-prisoners empowered women.

That's why these characters are good at everything from the start. It's why they never struggle. The overriding point that's trying to be conveyed in every scene is that these women kick ass. That's why the modern Mulan can't be shown as weak and later overcoming her physical weaknesses in other ways. No, she cannot be weak -- full stop. If she encounters a much larger man, then she has to kick his ass.

Addendum that shouldn't be required, but of course it is: I want to make it totally clear here that of course women leads can be interesting and dynamic and multi-dimensional. If you think I'm saying otherwise, then please don't even bother engaging, because you will have totally missed my point, which is that this particular approach to featuring women is ham-fisted and risible and probably counterproductive, in the end.
Not necessary. In India there is law that if you are running cabs on govt license then you cannot refuse passengers. If you as a cab driver do refuse (for whatever reason) then traffic police can take action (article mentions this).

There must be reason that this condition has been put into place.

I would go as far as to say movies teaching morality are just bad and tiresome when the moral concept is obvious. Art is most interesting, imo, when it takes a position on something that matters or isn't obvious to those not thinking about it.

Birdman still stands out to me as an amazing film. It's messages are so specific and consumable, and it had something to say that felt somewhat novel.

> I remember in December of 2000 during the dot-com bubble/recession, our company had several huge 20%+ layoffs… A big downside for them was, they were all suddenly looking for jobs in a very bad economy.

This was me. The small firm I worked for went belly up during the dot com burst when all our contracts dried up. But, I ended up getting an amazing job at a Fortune 500 company where I still am this day. I have had an amazing career and it is largely thanks to losing my job back then.
AFAIK the French are more prone to scientific celebrities, but this has led to cult like institutions. Here competition for popular attention has led to increasingly outlandish claims and predictions. I would be happier with less scientific celebrities and less politics in science. A dry, austere, monkish existence where the only reward is recognition from your immediate peers.
The best part is you don't ever have to see their face or listen to their voice again.

Nope. You don't.
You can replace unstressed vowels with schwas and usually end up with something understandable. Stressed vowels cannot be schwaed. This is also specific to american English and doesn't work for other dialects, or even all american accents.
Sibling already said this, but you can go through most bosses with an easier time without getting extremely good at it. I've played through all 3 dks games and am not exactly good at them (ironically they are by far my favourite games), but in those games you had less opportunity to use adjuncts like summons or spells.

You might feel bad about using other means than pure combat skills (I certainly do) but the devs put those things in for a reason.

Or indeed the New York Post posting a factually correct article about a laptop.

Most of the cultural references from early Usenet are missing, because the social and political groups weren't saved, with few exceptions. The early archives came from Henry Spencer and only included what he thought was worth saving.

Many of us old timers are grateful for that: we posted some very embarrassing stuff, using our real names.
Even beyond PUT vs PATCH I found this statement to be rather naive:

"From my experience, there barely exist any use cases in practice where a full update on a resource would make sense"

Just in finance I can think of *dozens* of use cases around invoicing and purchasing *alone*. A lot of times thousands of resources may need just one field "corrected", but hundreds others "reset" to ensure the proper retriggering of routing, workflows, and allocations. That the resources need to exist as originals is incredibly important for these kinds of things.
