Here in Québec our PM just renewed the emergency measures 110 times: https://www.quebec.ca/sante/problemes-de-sante/a-z/coronavir...

One of the special power it grants him are no-bid contracts; among which are hundred of millions of dollars media organizations and public opinion polling of the population. He also reported the obligatory investigation that comes with invoking the emergency measures after the elections in October.
BTW, in a bear market, everything tends to perform like everything else.
Let's just step back and state our terms. Are we agreeing that website placing the cursor in a search box is an example of autofocus?

I believe it is reasonable to do this if there is no other purpose for the page.

If I understand correctly, it is your contention this is unreasonable because it will skip all of the other information about the page for screen readers.

My question is why screen readers cannot, or should not, handle this special case? Isn't there an argument that it helps users with hand-eye coordination problems? I am absolutely for a11y, but when there is a trade-off in degraded experience for the majority, I'd like to hear arguments why the interpretive tools used by the minority cannot handle that interpretation.
My in-state school had similar tuition (in 10yrs ago dollars) and had guaranteed, no-questions-asked scholarships that covered most of it if you exceeded an SAT or ACT score (not a super high one either).

Well, this is a new topic altogether, but I will try to respond to your straw man. The virus jumped species, possibly more than twice. It is possible the actual origin of the virus is in fact the Wuhan Fish Market, but it is just as likely the initial origin of SARS-CoV-2 could have been some in some bat in some cave in China hundreds of miles from Wuhan.

But it speaks volumes that the location of the origin of the global pandemic, not the virus itself, compelling appears to have been in an area within a few blocks surrounding the Wuhan Fish Market on all sides.

If the origin of SARS-CoV-2 was in fact the Wuhan lab, that someone at the lab got infected and walked out of that lab, then we should absolutely expect to see the vast majority of the initial infections around the area of the Wuhan lab, and not the Wuhan Fish Market. But the density of cases surrounding the lab looks no different from other areas of Wuhan not surrounding the Wuhan Fish Market.

So it seems pretty obvious, regardless of what was studied at the lab, even if they were studying SARS-CoV-2 itself, that something at the Wuhan Fish Market caused the pandemic. And that something is and has to be lots of wild animals in cages and people working there in unsanitary conditions. You see, there are standards and protocols in place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but there is nothing remotely resembling that at the fish market across the river. So it would be difficult to explain and highly unlikely, even if they had samples of SARS-CoV-2 at the lab, how it escaped and infected so many people initially around the market instead of the lab. The lab leak hypothesis does not explain nor even address this discrepancy, but the Wuhan Fish Market theory absolutely does.
Always seeking talented and curious mathematics PhD's in the defense sector (or 'defence' sector if your staying on that side of the pond). Autonomy, robotics, data analysis (for a variety of reasons) and even just basic research. Many of the applications worked have direct correlaries in the commercial sector if you'd rather work on that side. Plenty of work to be done.

If you go by the census data of my relatives the head of household usually had the job title “laborer” or “farmer”. When he was married his wife was either “maid”, “cook” or “home maker”. Given that, I don’t think they looked too hard for any job before moving on to the next town. It was probably more of getting a letter from a brother or friend saying “Montgomery isn’t as shitty as Durham”.
The reasons for OTC desks is that if an individual wants to buy, say $100m of an asset, it's likely that they need to buy from multiple sellers.

If you do that by buying $10k x 10k transactions, your demand will increase the price of the asset and mean you pay more than current price for no good reason.

OTC desks either collect the $100m from large holders in big blocks, or they use working capital to constantly buy the asset and sell it for a single quoted price (hoping to gain on arbitrage).

In this particular case, they also offered the unique service of accepting /nzd vs. EUR/USD/JPY/KRW

You’re defining gerrymandering as a deliberate act, but a looser definition includes the entire effect of geographic districts on the outcome of elections, including non-intentional effects.

The article gives an example identical to yours.

It's such a worn argument at this point, I don't think it's worth revisiting unless you add anything beyond the assertion. I know I gained far more from what I learned than from the degree; nobody ever asked where my degree was from.
For one thing, they're ripping it out because of its poor write parallelism https://youtu.be/nlus1Z7TVTI?t=271

But that's orthogonal to my point. As a user of FoundationDB, you're not programming directly against SQLite, so you aren't going to run into these issues as much since FoundationDB exposes different semantics and coordinates concurrency across many SQLite instances in parallel.

I think it's best to think of SQLite as a replacement for your filesystem, rather than a replacement for your relational DBMS.

The effect appears to be pretty small, even when drinking 6+ cups of coffee/day. It's also not clear that this increase in cholesterol is unhealthy, considering cholesterol has a positive (and necessary) effect on our bodies and not all cholesterol increases risk of heart disease.

Coffee still shows an inverse correlation with all-cause mortality[1].

Fake Data, Real Implications
Builders will always build the most profitable projects that they can. In many desirable areas the construction cost is a relatively small part of the cost after purchasing the land and obtaining permits. Thus it makes sense to build with high-end construction materials and finishes. Even if that prices out many lower-income buyers, there are still plenty of affluent buyers to snap up the units.

My understanding is that CentOS as we once knew it (the freely-distributable rebuild of EL 7 and earlier) withered away because its creator and primary maintainer was hired by Red Hat. There was a clear conflict of interest at that point, and Red Hat probably wasn't going to keep paying him to maintain a project in perpetuity that ate into their bottom line.

https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/centos-project-leader-k...

So it's not so much that RHEL tried to strong-arm third-party rebuilders of Enterprise Linux - and I don't think it's in their culture to try - but people involved in these projects are always at risk of being bought out. Volunteering for open source can be a lot of work.
Sam Gross works for Meta, and to my knowledge, this is his #1 project. So in effect, one of the largest companies depending on Python is funding this work.

I used to have this view. But I think in practice not taxing wealth (property) and taxing contributions to producing things of value (income) is bad. And especially in 2022 with how easy it is to borrow money based on your property not taxing it is especially bad for society.

Look at California. Everyone who bought here 40 years ago is super well off while those who moved more recently and are contributing a lot still can't get stability.

I realize property taxes go to plenty of local government ventures - but presumably the US government (and state government) does quite a bit to protect your property from outside forces and local thieves. It makes sense that the more value in property you have the more you should pay to protect that.
Shouldn't a proper analysis of "how many melodies" be interval based rather than on individual notes? In that case there would be many fewer potential melodies. In an interval based analysis, a B to an A would be the same as a C# to a B. Too tired to count past ten but I think there would be 14 in-octave two note intervals, rather than 25.

Edit: I stupid, author's terminology confused me with "relative pitch" vs. intervals. And I forgot how to count.
Modern, Western physical therapists are using something similar to acupuncture called dry needling. They did it for my wife's torn rotator cuff. They said it causes the muscle to return to a normal state, after it's been trying to compensate for the injury. Or at least that's the understanding she got from their explanation. Since they are still trying to treat the injury, I'm not sure causing the muscle to reset would be helpful.
This seems to be a small player, so it's not especially concerning, but when the Coinbase CEO says his company has "no risk of bankruptcy," it's one of those moments where I wonder why he felt he needed to say that. Sure, they reported it as a possible risk to the SEC, but then "nothing to see here, folks" doesn't inspire confidence.

I'd just like to chip in with my (opposite) experience:

I semi-recently developed an app using Flutter and used an iPhone 6, a 6s, and my old Redmi Note 5 as a baseline for performance testing. While I'll admit I wasn't doing anything particularly graphics heavy (at most: sliding modals and some animations), I wasn't able to get things to dip under 60fps on either platform.

As for the GPay app, the only performance issue I could notice from testing just now was a dropped frame while quickly scrolling through the "explore" page. Otherwise it works perfectly on my Z Flip 3.

On the other hand - have you considered upgrading devices? I always hate whipping out the iPhone 6s (same A9 CPU as your SE) because it runs like hot garbage in most cases... a recurring theme in the iOS space.
I momentarily thought "Me too", but it turns out there was a kid about 10 year younger than my dad who went to the same-named school at the same time but in a different State.

I'd guess pumping is too slow. Maybe the mechanism used for liquid lenses in mobile phones (and other applications) could work in a larger lens.

Eye tracking and range finding would still be tricky to do in a small space. But something similar-ish was prototyped in 2017 [1]. Not the best source there, but maybe you can find something better with "liquid lens eyeglasses" or use that source to help find the original research.

Also, not sure if liquid lenses will work for astygmatism very well.

I have more or less this experience right now with both Google App Engine and Digital Ocean App Platform. For GAE it's driven by Github Actions, for DO it's built in. Either way it's just:

Is it just me, or is WP's new block-based editor (Gutenberg) easily the worst of its kind? I maintain a small blog for translations on WP, and each time I'm trying to do anything non-trivial it's a massive pain, with obvious and infuriating UI bugs and glitches.

Except he doesn't benefit any more from the increased value unless he sells or rents the property.

In fact, as his tax liability went up he is actually paying more to accommodate the inevitable increase in spending on municipal amenities that the wealthy newcomers are likely to petition for, given how much they pay in property taxes.

If we imagine he did not desire these things in the first place, and was on fixed income like many thousands of individuals, he would be forced to sell his home as a result of the whims of the market.

The escalating cost of property in his area should leave him with a tidy sum of money to ease the transition, but that is little consolation for potentially being forced out of the home you raised your children in, met your grandchildren in, spent hundreds or thousands of hours maintaining and improving, among many other sentimental attachments.

To a homeowner who values their home and doesn't intend to sell, the increased value of land is an apology. It is a meagre recompensation for second order consequences of the market's capriciousness.

But at least the value went up right?
In 2018 Michigan voted to create a non-partisan redistricting commission, and from the results of the 2020 census the 13-member commission has selected new districts for the upcoming 2022 elections.

The commission is made up of:

> 4 Republicans, 4 Democrats, and 5 members who identify with neither party; no member can be a partisan officeholder, an employee of such an officeholder, or a lobbyist

> Citizens can apply, and the Secretary of State picks 200 at random, with party and geographic diversity. Republican and Democratic leaders in the Michigan House and Senate can each reject five names, up to 20 in total. Then the Secretary of State picks the 13 members at random. The commission will have final say over the entire process of redistricting.

When I was in private practice at a small firm, I would often take care of things like this at no charge for good clients if I could knock it out in a few minutes. It's the old "ounce of prevention" bit. Not every engagement with a lawyer has to be a "nuclear option."

That said, at a big firm, lawyers often don't have that flexibility.

I asked for evidence once. That is not sealioning. But I do appreciate you taking the time to at least list the talking points of the lab leak hypothesis.

And now I see how this is a lot of circumstantial evidence, as reported earlier. But the problem is, even taking all these observations together and accepting them as evidence at face value, they can not explain the lack of or minority of or low density of infections surrounding the Wuhan Institute of Virology, nor can they explain the preponderance of and high density of infections tightly surrounding the Wuhan Fish Market.

Perhaps someone got infected at the lab, put on a hazmat suit, went shopping at the fish market, and removed their helmet there? Occam's Razor obliterates this idea as too complicated when a far simpler explanation is, like an elephant in the room, sitting in plain site, which is that SARS-CoV-2, like every other known virus ever, initially infected people in close proximity to animals in unsanitary conditions, neatly explaining the dense bloom of initial infections surrounding that market.

It's just my strong opinion, but I am flabbergasted that lab leak hypothesizers are so stubborn to ignore the way things have always happened, and there being such a good fit sitting right there at the market. They'd rather construct an unlikely scenario, a scenario that has never occurred before in 100 years of microbiology labs, of a thousand things going wrong to explain how the virus leaked from a modern and high tech virology lab.
