It's a clickbait headline. The situation is tragic, you could certainly accuse the government of neglect if not more, but the government is not guilty of euthanasia. That was the personal decision of the woman involved.
That's interesting; I thought System76 made Pop!_OS specifically to have a distro tuned to their hardware, but assuming this is as official as it looks that implies that they've started going for licensing it out to other vendors
> As far as economics, that's more like theological studies than math and physics, so the true / false determination probably just amounts to looking up the relevant passage in the appropriate holy text.

If your math is adequate to the task (basic calculus) I suggest you check out an intermediate microeconomics textbook like Varian’s or McCloskey’s[1]. Macroeconomics is less firmly anchored but it too is very far from theology.

Means testing (making sure benefits only go to poor folks) is such a colossal waste of time and money. And it creates perverse incentives where becoming slightly less poor can lead to a huge drop in benefits.

If we gave everyone food stamps, and we raised marginal tax rates a tiny little bit, then we would not need to spend any effort on validating who was and wasn't allowed to receive them. It would remove the stigma of having them. It would enable people to just get them without having to apply or understand paperwork.

The willingness to disguise cruelty as "just following the rules" in America is astounding.

Not true. By 1860, the US was of comparable size to the UK and France, and had a similar GDP per capita to the UK. De Tocqueville‘s “Democracy in America” had introduced Europe to America’s prosperity in the 1830s and 1840s, so it wasn’t unknown.

The war might not have been militarily relevant to Europeans, but that doesn’t mean people weren’t paying attention. The US was as big and as rich as the European powers at that point. It’s like today: If France broke out in a civil war it would be all over the news 24/7.
Obvious based on what ? Assumptions we make about history ? The idea that there's a linear, idempotent path of progress has been challenged for good reasons : discoveries such as these.
That's really interesting. For some time I really thought that we could change some things - not all - just a few, with will and perseverance. But I came to the conclusion that I wasn't living the adult life enough to see that things are, at best random, at worst, super random. We can make small influences but that's all.
Related: I recently watched the amazing Turkish Netflix series Atiye (2019-21), in which Göbekli Tepe features centrally. The main character, Atiye, is a painter who's painted the same symbol all her life, and one day sees it in a news story about Göbekli Tepe, and feels compelled to travel there immediately. The epic story involves time travel, alternate realities, spirituality/mythology, archaeologists, academics, history, family, love etc. Also you get to see a lot of the Turkish countryside. I and the SO thought it really wonderful, highly recommended. (Warning: Season 3 is a kind of new story and loses the addictive watchableness of the first 2, but is not terrible.)

That's certainly a thought from a brain. I'll hazard that parent's chess knowledge extends to "how the pieces move", possibly Scholar's Mate and its basic refutation (kidding, parent just read about Scholar's Mate on Wikipedia).
The reason there’s no equivalent to an NFL team in poker is that an NFL team plays 19 games a year and there are only a couple dozen competing at all.

If the world of professional poker only involved a couple dozen players and they only played 19 hands a year, you would absolutely see dynasties and near-perfect “seasons”.

I haven't read that book [yet], but I'll say that 'civilization' is not the same thing as carving up tons of rock. That you can form a civilization without agriculture doesn't surprise me. That a civilization could support megalithic stone carving endeavors without agriculture beggars belief.

Besides these sites in Turkey, are there any places in the world where huge amount of rock was carved supposedly without agriculture to fuel the workers? The Stonehenge builders had agriculture, as did those who made the Easter Island statues. Agriculture built Egypt.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, I got with the Leetcode grind program for my current position, but I really wonder about this: is it really possible to memorize these questions? Last I checked Leetcode has over 2000 questions, anyone who can memorize the solutions to all those is some kind of genius savant and should be hired anyway. Or is memorizing meant in a different context here?

Marijuana had nothing to do with this. The police needed a pretense for the civil asset forfeiture, but nothing under the law even requires that the pretense be true, there are no consequences for just lying about it, etc.

People really need to get familiar with civil asset forfeiture. It's done to all sorts of people for all sorts of make-believe reasons by police.
If the Democratic Party-voting population was really that much farther left than the Democratic Party politicians, then you'd really expect that farther left candidates would be winning primaries, wouldn't you?

I notice we have not had Bernie Sanders on the Presidential ticket, despite two runs; and there is surely some reason for that.

Possibly the voters have identified that those candidates will not gain sufficient independent or Republican support to actual win in general elections.

In any case, it seems likely to be a lot more nuanced than you're suggesting.

I just got Kicked off of SSDI(I also revived SSI because my SSDI income was below 75% of the poverty level) but I plan to appeal but that $2000 dollar asset limit last set in 1987-1989 and never indexed to inflation is just too draconian and needs to be recalculated for 2022 dollars and actually Indexed to the inflation rate.

So now I have to choose between early retirement and only getting about $320 per month or appealing my SSDI/SSI Case or just reapplying for Disability as someone over 62 years old. But low income retirees can not qualify for SSI until they reach 65 years old if they are not Disabled but the SSA has been bumbling Disability Reviews ever since congress/president allowed those Continuing Eligibility Reviews to begin again from the Pandemic forbearance period that's expired. And that's not been Fair for some elderly recipients because the SS offices are barely reopened and Congress just had hearings on the lack of SSA's ability to service SSA client requests. I was unable to get my appeal forms sent to me because the local SSA office was unable to be reached by Phone, so terrible is the SSA customer service system.

The SSA is so very much dysfunctional that congress needs to review each and every Elderly/Disabled person's Eligibility review for the past 6 months since that Eligibility review process was restarted. And that Asset limit forced me so save outside of the banking system in order to pay for some needed Crown replacements and other dental work because Medicaid/Medicare has limited Dental coverage. And that $2000 dollars will not even pay for a single Crown replacement at the going rate in the NE US for uninsured dental work(About $2800 for a single Crown and buildup for that crown).

Really all this SSI/SSDI and all the SSA administrative review costs to do all that for folks over 62 should be replaced by some Reformed Social Security income floor that sets the minimum SS benefit at 75% of the poverty level for anyone 62 years or older and then there would be no need for any retirees to be on SSI to begin with. SSI was created because of the SSA's inability to properly calculate the true costs of any projected future costs of living for low wage earners so the SSA/FICA/Retirement Taxes have been insufficient for many lifetime low wage earners.
I feel like this is a popular cop out answer, that while likely having some degree of truth, over-simplifies the issues in government.

Couldn't it also just be that there's a lot to keep track of for our current government (of laws and making/updating/enforcing them)? As society grows, you inevitably will have issues that fall through the cracks if administration doesn't also grow accordingly. Maybe they haven't gotten to updating this $2,000 thing because they're focused on other more important things? Hell, I doubt there's a single politician, that knows at the top of their head, all the laws and policies we as a government have in effect, along with all their nuances...

And then the other problem is that the majority has to come to agreement for things to actually change. This is often a slow process. Sometimes you have politicians trying to change stuff like this, but they alone don't quite have enough power, and it takes time for them to convince others that it needs addressing, let alone the proper way to address it.

Military-themed games helped him combine tactics into a strategic plan, while role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons and Runequest taught him problem solving. Playing against real people and not computers helped him keep his competitors’ motives in mind.

I've never played MTG, but do people "net deck" in that community? I've played other card games and I usually know their deck after seeing the first couple cards.

Smaller companies don't always go through these extended formalities and you can get a good job and build a few years experience that way.

Our company, which is service and tech based (GIS) has about eight full-time developers among 400 or so employees and we're doing cross platform mobile development and some web and some server applications and plugins.

When we interview, we usually do a phone interview with basic questions ("Explain inheritance" or "What's the difference between abstract and virtual"). It's weird, but a lot of people either panic or don't prepare. Missing things like this isn't a deal breaker, but we want to see the thought process.

If that goes well, we do an in-person interview and tell the candidate to schedule at least a half day (or sometimes a full day). We introduce them around, chat, do a more formal interview, and then do a coding test that we concocted. Basically, it's pieces of our app and a list of like 10 things to accomplish, like "Make it compile and run" (usually there's a syntax error or two and we want to see how people use the IDE and tools) or "Add a label to the page or app that shows the current time" or "Fix the alignment of the buttons on the left side" (for web). They get progressively harder and we've only had one person complete them all on time (we hired him, naturally). We've also had candidates completely choke and not even know where to start (you are free to ask questions and look up things online - totally open book, as if you were working and had a list of tasks to work on). There aren't any tricky problems. The harder ones require a little domain knowledge in GIS (which isn't a requirement), but can be figured out with Google (or by simply asking us how to do something - it's kind of a joke that NO ONE ever asks). You're not watched, but we check in every once in while to see how it's going.

We eliminate quite a few resumes, and eliminate others after the phone interview, but for those who make it to the in-person interview, we've eventually made offers to about 50% of them. And we've had great success in getting people who can do the job and excel, which you have to do with such a small team.

We do look for github projects, open source projects, and any sample code you can share. We also like people who have completed successful individual projects, written on subjects, and we love it when candidates actually have domain experience, but, as I said, that's not required.

My favorite interview question is "Tell me about a project, personal, school, or professional, that you are proudest of. Preferably something that presented a challenge you figured out." I like for interviewees to relax and geek out a bit. I honestly want to know if they enjoy coding, designing, and learning or if they're just looking for a paycheck or stepping stone (not that there's anything wrong with that, but I don't want to feel like we're paying someone to do something they're not the least bit interested in).
"Occasionally I force myself to actually work on some of the projects I've daydreamed and planned out (forced, because for some reason that part is much less innately interesting to me than the planning and conceptualizing, even though I want to finish them)."

I have this too, and the reasoning I came up with for myself is that because the first part is the problem solving, it gets fueled by curiosity and passion, whereas the second part, the implementation, is often just grunt work to me. I do not work in a theoretical research field, but I'm inclined to also think that this predilection must be something shared by those who do.

I think you are mistaken about the relevance of high school. For a lot of people, high school was a traumatic and/or violent experience that they would rather forget. Does making high school "suddenly relevant" put up an artificial barrier-to-entry for candidates that were able to overcome bad experiences in high school and move on to something better? What about candidates who say something like "high school was awful and I got out as quickly as I could"? Maybe you have a bias in hiring toward candidates who are good at "making stuff up that sounds good"?

This is not entirely true.

SELinux does allow you to lock down certain actions while leaving root access available.

And of course you can configure selinux to prevent root user from disabling selinux.

So you might have root access and the game would not be over.
Substantially less than our previous process.

We went from a process that took weeks to get through (multiple interviews, about an hour each, with a full code day at the end) to a two step process. Talent reaches out to the candidate and has a thirty or so minute chat to make sure the candidate meets basic hiring requirements, and then we have our MINASWAN process which is a single three hour interview, including two breaks for the candidate to get off camera and catch their breath.

The participants are:
- the candidate
- a hiring manager
- between two and four developers for pairing
- an open invitation to the hiring team’s devs for a closing panel interview.

The feedback we’ve received from candidates has been overwhelmingly positive, even for those who didn’t receive an offer.
