> Why can't the US government mandate hospitals need to purchase a percentage of their supplies from US manufacturers

Off the top of my head:

1. what if US manufacturers can't supply them in sufficient quantity

2. what if US manufacturers' delivery dates are too far in the future

3. what if US manufacturers' product does not meet standard

4. what exactly is a US manufacturer anyway, in a world with a global supply chain and complex ownership structures?

5. what if there's only one US manufacturer, and so can charge monopoly prices?
Do you think Russia's funding of terrorist groups in the eastern portions of Ukraine known for atrocities against civilians could've influenced that decision?

Or maybe going back farther Russia's sudden seizure of Crimea with a fraudulent vote with 97% in support could've been what made Ukraine nervous that they'd be invaded and seek support from other countries?

Or maybe going back a little farther to the USSR's atrocities against Ukraine, including Holodomor--the outright genocide of the Ukrainian people--might've been the thing that makes Ukraine want to ally with literally any country but Russia?

The idea that Ukraine should want to associate with Russia is the most bizarre political claim there ever was. Their history is nothing but being ravaged and literally raped by Russia, so them considering joining NATO is nothing but a big "no shit". Putin deserves to be surrounded for his actions. All he's done is shown that the Russia's intentions to destroy the Ukrainian people haven't changed in 100 years.
Well most of these preferences should be fixed by automated code formatting and listing tools so they shouldn’t be discussed unless people are turning them off for some reason.
Beijing isn't that bad yet, but no express mailing. The youngest can't go to kindergarten as a classmate had a close contact with a positive case. We all tested negative.
I have the feeling that we reached or surpassed "peak retail pharmacy" at some point, but they aren't ready to admit it, so they're going on random tech benders hoping to appear relevant.

We have a few national chains that expanded hugely, probably far beyond their ability to service, as part of a huge turf war a few years ago. Now they're stuck with loads of locations to fill, and mediocre to terrible service in their core-competency. My family members are constantly fighting with the local chain pharmacy just to achieve things like "be able to collect a prescription during the posted hours" because their staffing has been so terrible.

All the while, they're bleeding customers in that space: you've got health plans desperately pushing mail-order, some plans that refuse to treat some pharmacies as preferred (I had to go to a different chain when I actually wanted to use my plan), and customers being more prone to comparison shopping that tells me that my prescription is cheaper to pay cash for at the local supermarket I'm already visiting, than to pay my co-pay-- or let alone the absurd cash price-- Walgreens or CVS wants for it.

But let's not talk about that. Let's focus on the mediocre convenience store bolted onto the side of the drug counter. The one which is nobody's first stop for any given product. We found a way to make it more miserable and now people will buy 4% more of those weird house-brand snack foods!
I'm not sure if .NET can do this, but Java is similar, and it can do escape analysis to keep more things on the stack.

About 1), if you wanted it to act as a non-smart TV, you would disconnect it from the internet entirely. Perhaps only connect it if you really want to update the software, then disconnect again. 2) seems more plausible.
Who cares about desktop strategy?

Have you tried to make a desktop app in Ruby or Python? Java desktop apps are also not having some great approach where stuff was changing through years AWT, Swing, JavaFX.

Of course Electron is winning but it is basically a web app wrapped around.

That is such a moot argument.
>It's more what it says about our government's utter incompetence. If we can't solve the problem of distributing masks in an arguably _light_ pandemic, what the hell should we expect when a worse one comes along...?

It's a tall order to fix 40 to 50 years of global offshoring in a 10 months. If COVID has taught me anything, I believe we are more likely to just grit our teeth and put up with the costs than actually try and fix the issue in the future. Americans will never buy (or could possibly afford) domestically manufactured goods. There is already fervor at increased food prices due to the labor price increases all across the food chain; you want to do the same to cups and plates? It would never be politically successful.

>The downvotes are cute, this is a very legitimate concern though. There's nothing wrong with wondering why China releasing a virus is just an "oopsie."

Because it's not a productive conversation. 1) Whether it's an "oopsie" or not, Americans were still unprepared. 2) If it's not an oopsie, what are you going to do? Invade China on a hunch? 3) Given the history of respiratory diseases in China (e.g. SARS), and the growth of China in the global economy, isn't it more likely that is SARS 2 ever occurred it would be global in nature? This isn't the first time China has had to deal with a respiratory virus.
I can sympathize with your situation. I was in an office building in Shanghai last November when it got locked down for 48 hours - nobody in or out. Everybody ended up ordering takeout, and the entire building had to be tested for COVID a total of four times. The most insane part is that they don't even let you take pictures of the lockdown (I almost got my phone confiscated by the police for taking pictures).

Also, sleeping in an office chair is a lot harder than it looks.
These articles seem to always leave out that if you turn in an item you are legally entitled to a finder's fee from the owner based on the value of the lost item.

Security cameras are also plentiful and we'll staffed.

It feels good to call this a matter of morals but incentivizing return and fear of being caught by a camera are not quite morals, but on the bright side would be more easy to reproduce in other countries given interest.
It's not bad here yet either. Stuff is closed down but you can still take the subway. Theres probably a hundred communities shut down city wide but that's likely just a fraction of a percent of all communities. But, the number of cases do not stop increasing, so lockdown will certainly come in the next few weeks.
I am the only one who is thankful for the adaptive Chinese industry?

Personally I am happy that I am not toiling away at some mask factory but instead sitting here, in the safety of my own home, copying pieces of JavaScript from stackoverflow into an internal webapp for some big corp, with an ample supply of masks and rapid antigen tests at my disposal.
I used to be quite comfortable with GCC source code back in the egcs wars.

GCC is doing quite alright, looking at upstream contributions for C++, Fortran and Ada compliance.

LLVM on the other hand, I guess those lechers are quite happy not having to upstream anything.

Courts take a very dim view of smart ass or "technically [X]" nonsense. It's one of the advantages of actual courts and law vs. crypto "contracts"
Not my experience
I don’t.

JavaScript has been very useful for me building Node and Electron apps.

Ruby has been useful for me for building large dynamic CMS apps.

PHP largely got me into web development and is still used in Wordpress which I still maintain plugins for. Laravel seems cool too.

Everything has its merits and its environment where it shines. They’re also all imperfect, but that’s okay.
A JIT gives you the ability to target the current CPU better.
Those are standalone induction cooktops. It's common to install a cooktop on top of an oven by the same manufacturer. In that category, there are still many devices (from many manufactures, low and high end) with rotating knobs, integrated into the oven component.

How about building design? I know in colder climates buildings are designed to retain heat. Are buildings in warmer climates designed with similar heat insulation in mind? I think traditional architectures are designed for convective cooling but that doesn't play well with air-conditioning. Not too mention the modern designs obsessed with glass which I think traps heat. Good and efficient for cold climates, not so much for the hot ones.
> So saying a haircut costs $50 in a big city now

The cheapest haircut I had was 1$ in Colombo, Sri Lanka on the street. It was actually pretty decent. You can get a haircut for 3-4$ on the street in some countries in SE Asia.

Also in countries with less sophisticated labour market there is a lot more barbers offering haircut and less Apple Stores.

Which makes calculations like yours very assumptions dependent.

New York is comparable size to Rome (only in 1974 amount of water used by the NY equaled amount of water delivered to Rome by aqueducts) but I think New York has different labour market dynamics. Just think of slaves and plebs on the dole in Rome. Also you have cars and public transport in NY, which affects labour market.
Get a decent NVIDIA GPU. Then install PyTorch and off you go. I advise to make all your own tooling, as you likely have a specific use-case, and so your tooling can be tailored to that. Most ML tools are very generic, or so simply you might as well do them yourself.
The advantage if having your own box, is that (1) you'll learn some systems skills building it and (2) since you invested in it, you should feel obligated to use it! Good luck.
How far do you want to go? If you are really worried about lawsuits.
You can create a shell company registered in Cayman Islands and pay to have someone run it as CEO. Extract royalities to cryto.

My guess is your company will never know just use different github accounts. If they find out they may
fire you but to bring a lawsuit to take the ip would be costly and rarely worth it.
How is this different to any other language that uses more than one source file to define a program?

> The Russians are willing to go incredibly far to protect their borders from NATO.

Then it seems like Russia has made all the wrong decisions here. Even after Yanukovych was kicked out of power, the successor government had no interest in NATO until Russia invaded eastern Ukraine in 2014.

Similarly, Finland and Sweden had almost zero interest in NATO until Russia did their full invasion of Ukraine this year.

Russia's actions simply make no sense under the theory that Russia is trying to protect their borders from NATO.
Exactly. This is another situation that everyone wants to avoid getting caught in. Like I mentioned, it is now about not getting hit with control measures rather than avoiding the actual disease.

I should also mention that the situation is t actually "bad." I can leave my apartment and walk around, probably take the taxi anywhere in the city. But I think that will change over the next few weeks.

What I meant to say was just because people want something doesn't mean its moral to provide it. People want tobacco, doesn't mean we have to make it super easy and addictive for them.
How would it work to block some addresses and not others though? Only way I can think of is to block all DoH traffic, and hope it falls back to conventional DNS, and then selectively block that. If there is no fallback, you might as well disconnect it from the internet, the effect will be the same.
And yet property values go up very substantially when you "unblack" your house by having a white person answer the door.

> boiling water reactors

It amazes me that we are still using steam power (mostly 18th and 19t century discovery AFAIR) in such advanced systems.
IANAL, but this sounds like "no." If you've signed an agreement with EmploymentCorp that any IP you create will be owned by EmploymentCorp, you can't create MyLLC and sign an agreement with MyLLC that the IP you're creating will be owned by MyLLC.

You can't sign two simultaneous agreements assigning your IP to two different companies. Imagine Amazon hires you and has you agree to assign any IP to them. You then get a second (simultaneous) job with Apple and you agree to assign any IP to them. At some point, a court is going to step in if there's a problem and figure out how to unwind the mess. If the second company is an LLC that's owned by you, the court isn't going to be amused and say "well, it's clearly not a scheme by the owner to get out of an assignment clause."

If you've signed away your IP as part of your employment, there isn't going to be One Simple Trick™ to get around that. Even if the court decided "yes, we have to treat this as if you were employed by two companies that have no relation to you," EmploymentCorp could simply sue you for not assigning them the IP, win, and then take your assets as compensation - including your ownership of the LLC.

You personally are still liable for complying with your agreement. If you violate that, your employer might sue you for breaching the agreement. Given that one of your assets is the LLC that "owns" the IP you didn't assign to your employer, that kinda makes it easy. If lots of other people owned a part of the other LLC/company, that makes it harder to unwind, but that doesn't let you or the LLC off the hook. Did the LLC's management know that you had an agreement with EmploymentCorp to give them the IP you were creating? Assuming you're the majority shareholder and/or otherwise in charge, yes. So the LLC knowingly entered into an agreement to "steal" EmploymentCorp's IP (using the word steal a bit loosely here, but it fits enough).

You're basically talking about signing an agreement with your LLC that you know violates your employment agreement and signing the agreement as an officer of the LLC that the LLC knows violates the employment agreement of the person (you). Seems like that creates plenty of liability on both sides of the coin.
I put together a linux box with a 2080ti a few years ago and have been using it consistently for personal ml research ever since. Ive found it well worth the investment and learned that the ease with which I can jump into hacking on a project is key, which is why this works so well for me. I can just ssh in at any time and start experimenting with models. Even if its not technically economical when you do the math, the ease, reliability and fact that I know my models arent being billed per hour helps encourage me to experiment often, which is kwy to learning.

As for software, I do everything with jax and tensorboard for viewing experiments. Jax is a phenomenal library for personal ml learning as its extremely flexible and has relatively low level composable abstractions.

I wonder who would push anti gas ideas and why. /s

My dilemma as I catch more and more propaganda: should we support it as it is our side or should we try to expose it as it is not true?
No, this seems wishful thinking. Russia's GDP is only 4% of EU's GDP. The sanctions will be felt all around the world but not as severely as in Russia.
Fake news. This is not unusual. Just one of those things that keeps happening when Russia is your neighbor.
> If I'm in the store, I'm already looking to buy.

Yep exactly. In the big chain supermarket near me they continually play their brand jingle, along with ads for themselves. The jingle is repetitive and simple, just 7 notes that match the syllables of the "lyrics" - a tedious line about fresh food.

I'm already there buying stuff, so can only guess their tactic of spamming the store with their jingle, is based on some theory of reinforcement.

I've also noticed a news radio program I sometimes listen to, is now taking more breaks to advertise themselves. Not programs or content, but just how good they think they are in general, and how trustworthy they are. It's self-congratulatory cringe. The person who decides if they're trustworthy is me, the listener, not them telling me over and over that I should trust them.
Installed an induction cooktop from Smeg a couple years ago. It’s not top of the line but it offers granular enough control. I was a doubter at first but it was the right thing to do to avoid using gas and to electrify more appliances in our home.

I quite like it. I don’t miss gas. I’m not a chef but I do a fair amount of cooking and even an entry-level cooktop will serve most well. Best part for me is easy on and easy off. The surface heats up very quickly and cools down fast enough that I can reuse the cooktop as part of the counter. A major bonus for tight kitchen spaces.
I’d just go though and open all of the doors to find what I’m looking for. Perhaps the ad money will offset the higher electric bill.
"Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity,
but your talent to their reason.", said Rand who saw money not as an
evil but an instrument of peace.

What worries me with talk of "Monetary war" is the transition of money
as means of peace into a weapon.

Mark this, much as I detest Russia today and believe brutal sanctions
are the way, we will all reap tyranny if banks are militarised.

First the central digital currencies will be used to cut-off
"terrorists", then companies who won't play games, and eventually
individuals with inconvenient things to say. Without some form of
"bitcoin" [1] that evades authoritarian control, or a diverse basket

you'd better realise your wealth exists only at the whim of some

.NET just seems a lot more full featured and batteries included. I haven't used either, but .NET looks pretty fun to develop with.

I think I'd still take JS over either though.
>In fact, you went so far as to imply that it's constructed and not synesthesia.

No that implication is your and the other commenters imagination. READ my comment again.

> As the same commenter pointed out, if multiple people have interpreted your comment in a particular way, regardless of your intentions, then it's maybe time to step back and re-evaluate.

So serious. If multiple commenters interpreted my intention wrong then that's my bad wording is off. I mean it's not a huge deal. If I correct my mistake, and I inform you of my true intention, What then is the big deal?

Your telling me to take a step back and re-evaluate as if problems with my wording violated criminal law? I clarified my intent all you need to do is address it.

IN addition to this, there is the factor of actual grammatical English language interpretation vs. popular interpretation. There is something to say that the English definition and intent of my sentence holds equal ground to a popular misinterpretation.
" so progressively enhancing is not hard"

In my experience, it is hard. As you suddenly don't have only one result you need to test and polish, but many different ones.
So it is possible, but it is not easy to do right, except for very small applications.

And as for the example here, well - it is a collection of many examples, loading all at once. Of course it is hardware intense - but in a real world project, you would use only some of it, or make a disclaimer, that it is hardware intense, but if you make a game, I think it is expected, that it does not run on all hardware?
Most likely, but even among districts the actions they take are different. Our old neighborhood (in Chaoyang) has benn closed multiple times. Here in Dongcheng we have only seen that in 2020 during February till April, though 'lockdown' and no classes had been till the new semester in September. We will see what happens. Anyways, best of luck. Stock up on food and work from home. Luckily for n our family we can easily.
I don't think new value is created. What's happening is that value that used to be kept in-house is being absorbed by the AdTech middleman ecosystem.

The classic example: When the local supermarket ran an ad in the daily printed newspaper, the publisher kept basically 100% of the ad spend (minus the marginal costs for newsprint, ink, and the labour to deal with the ad copy. Now they submit an ad to some network which generously kicks some percentage of that revenue back to localnewspaper.com.

In this case, I'd expect that some of the money being thrown at Cooler Screens is coming from other ad spend verticals-- maybe a few less TV ads or one less page in the weekly newspaper circular.

If Walgreens built their own screens it would still be a stupid idea, but it would probably be more cost-effective than paying someone else who owns the technology and is probably mostly interested in making a pitch to go public some day.
No, it isn't.

People in countries like Finland have a 'freedom to roam', showing that property rights don't need to include the right to control who can enter a piece of land.

This dates from a time when people recognized property ownership, but there was no government monopoly on violence. (See especially the Icelandic Commonwealth and the Icelandic sagas.)
You expect him to die in his sleep? It's a kleptocracy: the goons surrounding the oligarchy will kill him the femtosecond it's expedient.
No it doesn't answer it per se, but you do address it with what you think it is.
Without being a lawyer, and of course this is in no way to be construed as legal advice.

Most employers, especially ones with IP assignment rules, don't allow working for another company at the same time. So off the bat you're going to be having a bad time there.

Next if your employer has an IP assignment section in your contract, assuming you use none of their time (I'm going to bet lawyers will have fun with what that means), and none of their equipment, some states and some countries do not consider such terms enforceable. But in that case you don't need an LLC (and making an LLC puts you in the "don't work for another company" bucket)

The obvious question (for your lawyer, I am not your lawyer, this is not legal advice) would be whether you could even assign your IP to the LLC, if the terms of your contract are enforceable and say your spare time IP belongs to your employer, then that IP is not yours to give to the LLC.

Of course the real think you should be doing is talking to an actual lawyer rather than asking random people on the internet.
It kinda makes sense if the app preview is supposed to fill the screen and "simulate" the app. But can you add further videos (not "app preview") to show the real world usage? I imagine apps that for apps that use AR or motion sensors, you'll want to show actual people using the phone...
