> To add to this, _everyone_ has some kind of inconsistent belief system. It's fairly simple to determine this, when people get defensive it's almost certainly based on something incongruous between their beliefs and actions, or possibly broaches a belief they hold to be true, but are unable to demonstrate why it's true. Therefore causing defensive behavior when challenged.

This is silly folk psychology. There are many reasons people get upset when people contradict them, raging from respect issues to believing that such contradictions are actual mortal dangers. People get quite upset when you disagree with their belief that all people have a right to life and counter with the proposition that the group they belong to should be exterminated, for example. It has nothing to do with their alleged inability to debate you. It's that you've indicate you're a threat to their life. People get quite upset when you strawman them or condescend or patronize in your response. There's a whole rainbow of reasons to get upset and very few of them are about some inability to debate you.
"In the pipeline" is a blog by Mr. Lowe and was only recently moved to the science.org domain (it could be found at blogs.sciencemag.org before). I wouldn't expect his articles to be proof-read by anyone else but himself to be honest.
I suspect that even the people who wrote that rule knew it wouldn't actually mean anything practically. It's just a convenient excuse to exploit someone in a vulnerable situation.

Love the irony of this coming from a manager of a fiat currency bank: “My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing, it is based on nothing, there is no underlying asset to act as an anchor of safety,” she said.
Personally I use it because it’s descriptive. Hard lines being drawn, people unwilling to even talk with others based on ideological labels, economic sanctions against ‘offenders’, propaganda clearly targeted at specific identifiable groups used to raise funds and attack the ‘other’ side, fear and loathing/us vs them.

I have an aunt who for economic reasons moved to what she called ‘Trump country’, and she legitimately feared for her life. She got death threats on Facebook when she tried to argue with some of her neighbors on ideological lines. She fell and hurt herself really badly, and everyone pitched in and has been helping her recover though.

I haven’t seen it used much anywhere else with any regularity, but I have no interest in following any propaganda outlets anywhere and gave up regularly reading any news 6 months or so ago.
Your edit is totally moving the goalposts. Do you realize many women won't even know they're pregnant until after the six weeks? By which point it will be much too late to get a legal abortion.
> And Protestants weren’t against abortion until recently, because they defined themselves as against Catholicism.

Did they really have to have an official position when the state said it was illegal?
Not much storage has been built out because there is not enough renewable generating capacity to charge it from. Until there is enough, it would be stupid to divert money from building renewables to building storage. After there is enough, it will be time to build out storage. At that time storage will be radically cheaper than today.

This has been explained to you several times already. Repeating your assertion about lack of storage tells us about something other than the energy landscape.
In modern wars, especially those were one party is a lot stronger than the other and wants to keep the moral high ground, ethics does come into play.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_engagement:

“Rules of engagement (ROE) are the internal rules or directives afforded military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and manner in which the use of force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied. They provide authorization for and/or limits on, among other things, the use of force and the employment of certain specific capabilities. In some nations, articulated ROE have the status of guidance to military forces, while in other nations, ROE constitute lawful command. Rules of engagement do not normally dictate how a result is to be achieved, but will indicate what measures may be unacceptable.”

Soldiers won’t be allowed to destroy a house on the grounds that it can be used by a sniper, for example, but must have reasonable certainty that it is being used as such.
How come Python is still improving in so many ways after so many years, or what has kept them back for so long? These are not small improvements.
Yes... And people keep bashing at the Safari team for holding the web development back. I mean, it's clear that the Safari team also has their own agenda, regarding competition with the App Store. But the stuff that Google is pushing is just more ways for them to track you in the end.

Should read up a bit more on what the "reaction" to blasphemy was back in the day (at least some of the days, some of the places anyway). Tell you what, it wasn't people calling you an idiot on the internet.
In my experience, it tends to be used more often by left-wing critics accusing conservatives of engaging in a culture war. The conservative advances a position, and the left-wing person responds that the position is chosen not on its merits but to further the aims of a culture war. It's a way of not having to respond to the substance of a position.

Then again, I suppose I have an availability bias. I only see the term used by people I'm paying attention to.
Even in the military the compulsion was the prospect of dishonorable discharge. Where I live both government employees and private employees have been fired for not complying with vaccination mandates, and again the issue is political alignment not whether people are being jabbed without consent.
The space relies on obfuscation in technical and financial complexity to lure in folks who don't know better. This dynamic is causing significant harm to individuals, and meaningful misallocation of capital within the economy.

"The scenario (from march 2021) simulates a monkeypox outbreak in starting in 'brinia' on 15 May 2022 that was an engineered strain for vaccine resistance."

It's some coincidence there is an actual outbreak in May 2022 in Britain.
Probably optimized for down rounds. Either save their existing investment, or get into other investment for penny on the dollar.
Apparently the smallpox vaccine protects against monkeypox, I imagine recovering from one would protect against the other.

Teachers unions were against it in our area, even after vaccination became available to everyone over 11.
Instinctual human behaviour. We're programmed to divide into groups of us or them. Being part of a group leads to benefits from that group, but, freeloaders could just profess loyalty, get the benefits and move on. So we have an instinct to fight freeloaders by having genuine members of the group make a difficult to fake concession or sacrifice of some kind. Which could be something like genital mutilation, or, maintaining a clearly irrational belief at all times for your entire life, or, at all times treating the others like inhuman scum and having 0 tolerance for any of their ideas, or usually, a combination of such things.
NAK means "negative acknowledge".
I get lost with a depth-first approach, so I aim for a broad superficial understanding and build from there as needed.
No, thats a pretty bad way of thinking about things.

A person can be 99% correct on the issue, and you coming in, and find a single, tiny, irrelevant flaw or absurd edge case does not overrule the 99% correctness of the original position.

Instead of that, it is perfectly possible to compare and differentiate between people who are mostly right, and people who are very wrong on most of it.
Who do you think proposose the standards?

> So, here’s a timeline: The 14th amendment was passed in 1868. For 135 years, it was perfectly consistent with that amendment for states to put people in jail for having the wrong kind of sex. Then, one day, it wasn’t anymore.

This is wrong. When precedent is overturned, it's because the law struck down was never consistent with the amendment(s) at issue.

Segregation was not perfectly consistent with the 14th Amendment prior to Brown v. Board, it was never consistent with it, from the time of its passage. The court upheld it in Plessy v. Ferguson not because it was okay then and the 'living document' subsequently changed and it became not-okay, but because the court made a glaringly wrong decision in Plessy v. Ferguson.
Immediately makes me miss my old MUDs.
Well, that's a possibility. Another possibility is that, yes, the work you are doing is as important as you imagine it to be. Not everybody is delusional.

If you go and try to circumvent the process, there is a chance you will find out.
I regularly have to interact with large companies I have no "direct" equity in, and I think it's fairly standard.

Some are my clients, who may need my help BECAUSE their internal bureaucracy is causing them problems. One recent personal example: a company has a hiring freeze or other policy preventing them from hiring a new full time member, but they still require technical support, and have some budget for an "outside consultant" to get them through this period. I have no equity in this company, but I am still being paid by them and incentivized to work through their problem even when another internal department of theirs is blocking or otherwise complicating the process with bureaucracy.

There have been times where I need to provision something for less than $20 dollars on a company card... and to justify that cost, I have to hold multiple hour long meetings with multiple higher level employees attending and discussing. My agency is billing them at least $100 for my hour alone, meaning that holding the meeting and deciding not to spend said money has already cost them more than just spending the $20 even if that was a complete waste of $20 on an unnecessary service.

Another common example is working with my client's clients, usually large platform or service vendors. While I might not have direct equity in a provider, there is usually a high cost to re-platform or replace a key service, even with a near-equivalent provider, and so it makes sense for me to spend time trying to work with the original service provider even if they are difficult to work with.

In my previous career as a teacher I had to deal with a metric fuckton of school bureaucracy and administrators. Not sure why the education system around my area is so bloated with non-teaching administrative staff members; not sure how you can justify paying more people as "administrators" than ground level workers like teachers and custodians, but some places seem to have the opposite allocation of staff resources.
If not for our COVID-19 reflexive memory would this still be a huge story or does it just get hits? I'm genuinely asking, it's good to be informed and help out those afflicted but is this just an easy way to get eyeballs?
(I just realize I may sound like a kook saying `it's the media` but I'm genuinely curious)
Celeste's challenge does not derive from executing individual moves, it's about chaining them together in clever, fun ways. Please list what platformers/software you work on so I can avoid using them.
Could you give an example of "attach metadata"? Are you talking about attaching metadata to the logger object or handlers? How is that done? If I recall correctly, the only thing you can send with an individual log event is a string message, and an log level, no other metadata.

I looked into this because I love structured logging, and I wasn't able to figure out how to make that work easily with the default logging module.

> Is this a ridiculous opinion? I don’t think so. But I can see why someone might disagree with it. For one, what’s the “privacy” thing?

Maybe I misunderstand the court's rationale, but it seems really flimsy to hang abortion on "privacy" in this way.

> We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.

Whatever your thoughts on abortion, this seems poorly reasoned. Legalizing abortion implies asserting that life begins after some date. If first trimester abortions are legal, then it seems to imply that the law views human life (and thus human rights) as beginning sometime after the first trimester.
Clever idea, but a bad idea. What you propose would create an incentive for pro-choice activists to create red-tape in the adoption system, to ensure an adequate number of orphans remain unadopted. Furthermore, it would incentivize pro-life activists to adopt as many children as they can for all the wrong reasons.
Fidyll: A Compiler for Cross-Format Data Stories and Explorable Explanations
We were averaging a potential pandemic every 3 or so years for the last ~20 years.

Original SARS, Bird Flu part 1, MERS, Swine Flu (arguably an actual pandemic), Bird Flu part 2, Covid.

No one should be surprised that there's a new possible pandemic 3 years after Covid.

If this ends up being another actual pandemic - that would be surprising.
A simple example is the axiom "private property exists and should be enforced with the law". There are societies without private property, and they are very different from the ones that do have it.

Have you considered that it isn't necessarily the baby that a person might not want and instead that being pregnant might be what they're seeking to avoid?
Link? I didn't include those instructions because I'm not aware of the issue. I'm first and foremost a Linux user when it comes to building stuff, hence my interest in having a hot little ARM VM on the M1. I tended to keep my Macs back when I used them (see another reply for details) rather "clean" in terms of what was installed, so this was the first time I'd had to mess with Homebrew.
People have definitely been harmed by crypto. I was pointing out that pyramid and ponzi schemes harm people by definition. There is no mathematical way for them to benefit a majority of participants. That doesn't necessarily hold for crypto.
Not quite complete enough for my liking. 3.9 doesn't have any mention of zoneinfo.ZoneInfo for example.
It's the boards that are for development, not the chips. They are intended for development of a product which includes the chips on them, not as general purpose glue like raspberry pis or arduinos. And for this kind of development the cost of the boards is usually negligable compared to the other costs of development, so there's little price pressure on them (especially compared to competition on the price of the chip at scale). In fact it's generally in the interests of the companies producing such boards that their limited supply does not go towards people not intending on buying at least few thousand of their chips (and if you give them an indication that you are likely to buy a decent quantity, often you will be given these boards for free).

That said, there are sometimes modules like those mentioned in the article which are intended for production use in volume, though generally these are aimed at a segment of the market where there's about the right volume that saving the development costs of putting the chip onto the custom board direct (e.g. the PCB layout connecting the SoC to the DDR memory or getting a prototype board with enough layers to bring out all the signals on the chip) is worth the extra markup.
This is really impressive, and a great write up. I’ve been following the work on static compiling Julia to x86 libraries from the GPUCompiler.jl folks but I didn’t expect to see Julia working on an Arduino any time soon.
With some kind of basic GC support (even if just using a bump allocator) it seems like a good fraction of the language could actually be available. Most tight loops hopefully don’t allocate so it would mostly just be necessary for creating initial arrays and mutable structs.
“The constitution does not explicitly use the term privacy but does refer to related concepts from which one can infer some logic about what kinds of privacy are protected vs not”

is a reasonable interpretation in context … and coincidentally, exactly what the author is arguing, once you get beyond the quoted part.

I think this whole subthread is being too hard on a snippet.
afaik no smallpox vaccine is currently approved in Switzerland (according to https://www.nau.ch/politik/bundeshaus/affenpocken-swissmedic...)
The best discussion of this I've heared was from a docent at the National Crypologic Museum, located on the NSA grounds. His version was that the war was won by those fighting it, but if it hadn't been for good intelligence, they could have fought just as hard and been less effective.
>In Christian churches I am least impressed by a sermon that talks about how marvelous heaven is going to be at the end. To me that's not the message of Christianity. The message is about how to live now, not that we should live in some particular way because there's going to be pie in the sky some day. The end means almost nothing to me. I am glad it's there, but I don't see it as much of a motivating force, if any. I mean, it's the journey that's important.

I find this quite sad. In the US, I have never known a kind Christianity that espoused these ideas. The end, either heaven or hell (or purgatory), is everything to Christianity in the US, in my experience. Perhaps it used to be different here.
I didn't think 'cat' itself could force a sync to disk?

When writing to a USB sd card reader, sometimes the data wouldn't be written entirely without calling 'sync' but dd can perform the sync itself with 'fsync'
Sure, I refer you to the entire Western canon of ethics because that's 99% of what it consists of. If you want a simple math example, we replaced Euclid's axioms of geometry with Hilber's axioms of geometry and others. Look into why. Then there's the fact that axioms and premises that make empirical statements which can be falsified. Those get thrown out all the time.
> these sites DO attract an outsized group of extremely antisocial people that decrease the quality of life for everyone.

The anti-social people decreasing everyone's quality of life are the people creating and supporting policies like this one that criminalize mere access to shared public resources.

Barring extreme mental illness that is nowhere near as prevalent as people seem to think, no one wants to be shitting on the ground in public. No one is willingly destroying their own property, personal or shared. If they're vandalizing parks it's because you've successfully made it no longer theirs. Why would they value it when you respect the property more than their lives?

> But don’t tell others what they have to tolerate where they live.

No. Wherever you live you have to tolerate people. You have to tolerate the consequences of our own policies. We have chosen to make a world where people can have nothing and be treated as less than human because of it. You must tolerate that or change it. Punishing people for experiencing the consequences you have imposed on them is monstrous. You can't dodge that moral burden by appealing to this limited concept of freedom.
Scale, mostly. I don't remember a 40 billion dollar market in baseball cards evaporating overnight once it was discovered to be a giant ponzi scheme.
One reason getting these from the evolved route may be better is because feedback mechanisms stop making the beneficial substance when the body has enough, which may not happen via intake by other methods. This is the case for vitamin D from sun vs oral D supplements. Serum levels stop going up when they reach a natural adequate evolutionary range if it's coming from sun. I don't know if that's true of NO or not. Or of melatonin from the near-infra-red wavelengths, but I wouldn't be surprised.
The thing about public health is that it's a game of averages. Smallpox vaccination, because of the specific details of the vaccine itself, has significant potential side effects well beyond any other modern commonly-administered vaccine. These side effects can be permanently disabling, or in some cases even cause smallpox-like illness itself. When smallpox was widespread, the downside of vaccination (side effect risks) was much smaller than the downside of not vaccinating (dying of smallpox). Now that smallpox has been eradicated, the calculation is changed - on average the damage that will be done by side-effects in a wide-spread vaccination campaign are outweighed by the extremely small risk caused by not vaccinating.

That leaves the question of whether a better (safer) smallpox vaccine could be developed - I don't know enough about medical science to know if that's feasible, but even if it is it's likely not worth the cost and effort to develop a new vaccine for a disease that is no longer really a threat.
Very similar experience to yours. Adopted Airflow about 3 years ago. Was aware of Prefect but it seemed a bit immature at the time. Checked back in on it recently and they were approaching alpha for what looked like a pretty substantial rewrite (now in beta). Maybe once the dust has settled from that I'll give it another look.
Not total but some protection. The last article I read suggested a fully vaxxed person still had a couple of lesions (how it was detected). Definitely better than a full blown attack.
Was vaccinated before deploying to Korea and that was not fun. That thing itched like crazy. But then it was nice when we deployed to Iraq and everyone else had to get the vaccine and I didn't :)
I was trying to find it on Google maps but could not.
I was really surprised to see this board featured as a primary tab[1][2] on Ubuntu's main download page, right along side major use cases like "server" and "desktop" (and yes, Raspberry Pi). IMO this already puts this board far ahead of many others in the sea of dev boards.
