Part of it is how we do discourse in the country puts people on the defensive which leads to them being polarized. I sit in the middle of this in a couple of spots and its maddening. For brevity, I'll stick to just vaccines and anti-vaxxers.

My wife had a negative response to a vaccine as well as her brother. My mother-in-law passed before we had children and never thought to ask for more details until we had a kid. When we were touring hospitals for our first, we asked about vaccination policies. We tried to explain that we didn't want our kid vaccinated at the hospital but at the pediatrician's appointment a couple days later so we could first develop a base line so could identify any negative response if one shows up. The nurse talked over us about how important vaccines are, acting like we didn't want them at all. Turns out my daughter did have an unexplainable neurological response after the second dose. Our first pediatrician's office was fully supportive of us not continuing just that series (I suspect their "expert" we saw after the incident was anti-vax). We moved and had to find a pediatrician's office that carried the combo shot without the problematic one. We found an office that had it but the pediatrician they assigned us kept giving us problems until we saw a neurologist and the neurologist told them to back off (they were the one to classify it as unexplainable).

We understand the value of vaccines and encourage them. While our kid isn't completing a series, we understand the importance of everyone around them completing it to keep our kid safe. Pro-vaccine people treat us like we are anti-vaxxers. I could easily see this leading other people into the anti-vax camp because most people don't listen but anti-vax people would. Another social pressure that could push someone in our circumstance to be anti-vax is the laws. Anti-vax people have been abusing the system so pro-vax people have been tightening things down. We've been keeping an eye on this, worried what it'll take to get our kid through these legal requirements if we live in some of those states. The only political group that would protect our kid is the anti-vaxxers.
> And the result today is that all these p2p apps look awfully a lot like banks, but less encumbered by regulations because they don't do everything that banks do.

They don't just look, they are banks (or has a bank they outsource the regulated activity to). This is a piece they're not too keen on disclosing, except in very tiny print, as they wouldn't like their user to realize they can go and complain to the regulator regulating their companies when they leave their customers high and dry.
> Or do I misunderstand, and they derived this right from some other amendment or combination of amendments?

Yes, they derived it from the 14th Amendment's Due Process clause.
MSR is pretty competitive. How many papers do you publish in a typical year?
The problem is the OP's claim of "legal extremism" is (apparently) founded in the Family Research Council's definition of "extreme" which is... Extreme. It'd be like a Confederate citing the reason for the Civil War as the North's "extreme" laws regarding slavery.
Would that possibly be balanced by the chance that the Oracle could find in the opposite direction later, making us retrospectively guilty as well?
It's hard to say whether these movements (Like Redletter Christians) still consider themselves Evangelical - at least in the current sense of the word. There's a huge movement of (mostly younger) people leaving Evangelicalism right now because the term 'Evangelical' has been co-opted to mean something political rather than a theological category (as it was in the past). At the same time there are people who wouldn't have considered themselves religious in the past who are now identifying as 'Evangelical' more for political reasons. These latter folks may never attend a church but they like the political alignment.

Historically, Evangelicalism was a reaction to Fundamentalism in the early part of the 20th century. I'm old enough to remember that there were Evangelicals who were politically liberal - my parents voted for McGovern in '72 and were very much anti-Nixon, antiwar, pro-environment and pro-civilrights, they considered themselves Evangelical in those times and they weren't alone - these are the folks that helped Jimmy Carter win in '76. Now Fundamentalism and rightwing politics have taken over Evangelicalism. Leading to the exodus away from Evangelicalism in many quarters (though many of them would still consider themselves 'Evangelical' in the earlier theological sense, they feel that the term has been co-opted so that it's not so much that they've moved it's that the wider Evangelical church has moved away from it's original moorings).
It's very nearly guaranteed that any artificial solution to this will have unintended consequences. Those might not be as bad as the original problem, or they might be worse! Plant-wide climate is a very complex system and complex systems often behave in non-obvious ways when parameters change.
I think more people care than you think, but they might not realize that identity politics (or politics in general) are what’s making a show worse. Star Trek: Picard’s latest season was terrible in many ways, but it seemed like the entire plot was made just so the show runners could say “ICE bad. Global Warming scary.”

That’s all well and dandy if you have an actual point to make, but they didn’t. There was no nuance because in their minds any deviation from those political beliefs are evil.
It requires tremendous resources compared to html parser. It's possible, but very costly if you want to crawl the entire Internet.
I like your candour :)

> It can be sexually transmitted (among other vectors). Homosexual behavior is not the issue. Unprotected sex is (much higher chance if it's anal, as in most sexually transmitted diseases). And, it seems, any sort of close contact is sufficient. It's understandable that the gay community would be the canary for this issue. There's also some percentage of the population that will engage in unprotected sex regardless of orientation.

I thought all that was needed was close physical contact (rubbing against a sore, sharing a towel etc). I don't think unprotected sex / anal sex is the issue here. Definitely doubt a condom is going to help much ..

.. and as far as I know, Monkey Pox isn't a sexually transmitted disease. All seems very odd to me.

However, as for me being nuts; maybe there is a high probability :)
Curio – Note Taking, Mind Mapping, Brainstorming
That’s subjective. The Mirai refuels much faster and no EV at the same price has its range.
There will always be a "higher" type of engineers who want to read TAOCP and similar.

My issue with the books is that they're actually quite long winded even by what you'd expect from the tone.

There's some really cool stuff in them, obviously, but I think they're objectively not very good textbooks for any purpose.

Then again I'm coming from a background of physics rather than mathematics so I'm not set out for a real battle of wits when it comes to constructing proofs.
Fixing vulnerabilities in Elm's virtual DOM
I'd say that support via https://tiddlyhost.com is very on the spot see: https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/t/featherwiki-a-lightweight-tidd...? for details...
So military equipment has a constant, it keeps going up in weight so I'm not surprised they are asking for this, but the total equipment weights need to come down and nobody is seeing this. When the weights go up the effectiveness goes down. Thats why special forces can use what they want instead of standard issue equipment.

This image highlights this fact perfectly.
https://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2012/08/the-beach-recovery-ve...

The other thing you may not know is various military's will develop equipment for what if scenarios. The Hippo aka the Beach Recovery Vehicle in the link above is designed to push out assault landing craft that have got beached. One of the what if scenarios is a war which involves attacking from the sea.
Now that Hippo is based down at Instow at the Royal Marines depot where its tested on Saunton Sands which is pretty good for surfing and thats where the photo was taken.

The contract the UK MOD agreed was so tight it put the manufacturer out of business which meant they had to be bought up because sometimes govt's can get value for money for taxpayers contrary to media reports.

So to answer your question, it depends on Crimea & Russia because Crimea has the 4th largest oil deposits on this planet so there might be a need, how soon is hard to tell, not that they make these things quickly, but they could if pushed. Now I cant help but notice that British oil companies have made record profits which will be useful for buying up foreign oil companies and investing overseas, me thinks there might be some investment going into Crimea soon but it depends on Russia and how that goes.

Just fine, I presume. Google has several successful walled gardens of their own, I don't really foresee that changing anytime soon.
I know that's in reference to the UK, and I don't know how their bailout system worked, but I know how the US one worked. These loans were repaid in full and generated a $110B profit for the US government. [1]

[edit] Note also that the US bailouts weren't monetary policy, but fiscal policy. They were administered by Treasury, not by the Federal Reserve.

Now do the Wormhole bailout by Jump lol.

I think for me it depends on whether it is something that I kind of need and therefore I have to learn enough about it vs one that I might be considering as 1 choice of many that I am not tied to.

In the first instance, I try and build a simple but complete model to ensure that there aren't any gotchas. For example, I am looking at Hashicorp Vault. It does a number of things that will be useful and which all need to happen. I will spend some time, therefore, getting one example of each of those working. This will prove the docs are good, there aren't any weird limitations and it is something I can work with.

If, on the other hand, I am only evaluating something, I can very easily drop it just because of some poorly maintained docs or an error in the first 5 minutes after following the installation instructions.

Like another poster, I then try and keep the breadth as narrow as possible so I am not learning things I don't need, but using my experience to spot things that might need some more careful learning. For example, I quickly spotted that K8S default networking was very open so I invested more time working out options for having it more locked down.
How was the Nix experience? Did you try just nix or also NixOS?
In my nutty conspiracy, the agent would simply disseminate the virus at bath houses.

The more I think about it, the more it does seem like a nutty conspiracy.

That analogy would hold if the North's anti-slavery position were held by a tiny minority of countries, if I'm understanding your argument.
> One could argue that the guaranteed student loan programs are a roundabout way of supporting universities through tax dollars as well.

No, guaranteed student loans are a way to transfer wealth from future taxpayers and borrowers to beneficiaries of tuition such as university staff and whoever is receiving money from the university such as construction companies and whatnot.

The guaranteed loans with no underwriting obfuscate costs and thus result in a mid allocation of society’s resources. Such as leagues of people spending their valuable years learning “communications” or “business” degrees and then sitting in a call center or other role that does not pay enough to make the degree they paid for in time and money to have any decent or even positive ROI.
FWIW - I think you got the balance right. Doesn't mean I agree with it (or disagree with it)
Hmmm strange... if you email me I can share the Figma with you. Just a side note, the figma is in the process of being developed so I would suggest coming back in a couple of weeks to see the progress
Admin and prestige buildings, across decades, along with the upkeep related to those things now and going forward (pensions/retirements, building maintenance & upkeep).

Also, US incomes are among the highest in the world, everything should seem expensive here compared to the typical European nation. Comparing to eg Japan or Britain doesn't work, our incomes are far higher. If you want to look at costs for the median or above, you have to reference Sweden, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia for comps. Simultaneously our costs are still too high even after you adjust for that (in things like healthcare and education).
...imagine the millions of dead people? What are you implying exactly, that if behavior from a protected class is the source of a major social issue/catastrophe, that we need to avoid making that link, and allow this class to continue engaging in antisocial practices, because we are worried about stigma?

That doesn't seem like a sane ordering of priorities.
I'd say PlatformIO is a better analogy -- a framework that lets you use virtually whatever HAL you're familiar with (Arduino, Zephyr, freeRTOS, mbed, etc) with whatever hardware and its corresponding toolchains.
Academia is no more motivated by a honest interest to understand things around us, raise questions and spend time deeply thinking and genuinely coming up with solutions that really make sense and bring change to the world.

A lot of researchers are very mediocre and they treat research as a simple career where they superficially advise a bunch of PhD students. A lot of those researchers neither think nor raise questions nor make meaningful contributions.

Exacerbated by research grants which favours researcher with lots of publications regardless of the quality of the research (usually real honest high quality research takes time and produces much fewer papers). Those researchers thus end up chasing low hanging fruit just to increase their paper count, making everything they do shallow and full of bullshit.
Important to understand that when a VC raises a fund, it's just commitments from LPs, not all the money right away.

So if a VC "raised" a huge fund and the market shifts and all the sudden their LPs might not like a bunch of huge capital calls, the VCs will become more conservative. Ultimately the VCs customer are the LPs, and they won't do anything that is going to piss off all their customers.
That's not correct. Felony just refers to the the severity of a crime (with lesser crimes being misdemeanor). Federal vs. state felonies are just a matter of jurisdiction.
sure, maybe it's different this time, but .7 * 200% is ~140%, which was the peak around 2000 (and the only other time we've been this far out)

Why should it be?

is Linux easy? Is Windows?

AWS (as is GCP and Azure) can basically be thought of as an entire operating system, with extremely low level concepts (VPCs, EC2 machines), mid-level (Lambda, StepFunctions, EventBridge), and high-level (Translate, Comprehend, Rekognition, etc)

I am not sure if this library helps. It presents its own opinionated flavour of AWS but doesn't really hide enough of the details.

If you want to use AWS and not think of underlying infra like networks and security groups, build on high-level services like EventBridge and StepFunctions.

Alternatively, if you don't want to think about services at all, use CDK constructs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/constructs.html

For example, ehre is a NetworkLoadBalancedFargateService: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v1/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-ecs...
I thought about doing that, but I realized that I have no way of knowing how pervasive my next set of changes will be, whether it will warrant a patch or a minor version bump. The major ones are much easier to predict; I don't go into them without prior planning. But sometimes, what I think are going to be bug fixes turn out to be API changes. So is 2.19.3 going to go to 2.19.4 or 2.20.0 next week? No clue.
This is awesome, thank you for doing this. Have never seen soundiiz before - looks cool. Does it automatically keep these playlists in sync with Deezer as I change the original?
That would violate their human rights. Article 26 UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

> Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

I know USA hasn't ratified these so USA doesn't think this is a right, but most of the world do. It is fine to force people to get vaccinated, but it isn't fine to deny human rights to those who don't get vaccinated. The reason is obviously that they want to force everyone to get vaccinated, but they can't so instead they just deny human rights to those who don't get vaccinated. Why do it in such a roundabout way, when the constitution obviously didn't intend for the federation to make such laws?
> She clearly (or officially) doesn't understand money and subjective value

I can only assume you don't know who Christine Lagarde is because to suggest she doesn't understand money is not only ridiculous but bordering on offensive. Here is her wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lagarde

To say Lagarde doesn't understand money is like saying Paul Graham doesn't understand startups. It's absurd on its face. You may disagree with their philosophy but there's absolutely no denying their deep understanding of their respective subject matters.
When I was first introduced to AdaptiveCards, it took me a while to grok just what it's for.

Yeah that's what I'm on about. I don't like how it sets up gendered sentencing guidelines at all let alone doing so in a way that doesn't create any practical benefit by being gendered. The argument could just as easily be made in a non-sexist way by applying it to all non-violent offenders and to be honest I'd probably agree with it. Do they think that children can shrug off a father in prison like it's nothing?

The idea that under the Greens I'd be sent to prison for the configuration of my genitals rather than the severity of my crime is just abhorrent, in the same way I think the way women are often ignored and mistreated by the justice system is abhorrent. It's a real shame because I'd really like to vote for them, but it would mean compromising my core value that everybody should be equal under the law. We did not become a secular society only to immediately burden part of it with original sin again.
> are a lot more valuable than the university would like you to believe.

Category error. Correction:
You have the ability to do outside work that pays more than anything the University needs.

It's not the university's fault if you want to do a low value research job at the university.
That's intentionally equating completely different things just to manufacture "hypocrisy." Harm to others with political inclinations. But you knew that, right?
Napkin math here:

240 / 4 = 60 upvotes per hour

143 / 1 = 143 upvotes per hour

Therefore, it makes sense that newer content with higher upvote velocity would trump a staling link.
By want I mean want. I wasn't assigning moral judgments at this point because that would have been circular. I said "whatever they want" in order to distinguish it from an unqualified "whatever". The prosperity doctrine stuff was a motivated example, but not meant to be representative.
I still don't follow why they would elect to install a cell repeater rather than fix the fire alarm. One of the two sounds like a good way to get in jail for embezzling public funds; I certainly don't like the idea of my public tax money going towards unapproved repeaters (if the employees pooled together their own money or something, more power to them). On the other hand, no judge/jury is going to convict for fixing the fire alarm whether the money was authorized or not.
The point I was making is not that the central banks don't 'create money' per se (they create some kinds of money, bank reserves to be precise), but that in a modern, fractional-reserve banking system, the money supply itself is created not by the central banks but rather by retail banks. When you borrow money to buy a house for instance, that's the point at which money is created.

Money isn't pushed into the economy. Money is pulled when loans are taken out, from retail institutions. These loans are constantly repaid meaning that the money supply is controlled by the quantity of origination of loans and the rate of repayment of existing loans. The Fed controls the circulating supply by adjusting the demand for new debt, by setting interest rates.

Generally even QE, the Fed creates reserves and swaps them for liquid assets like treasuries. These reserves then collateralize additional lending. [1]

Software is a good choice.

However, you will still be dealing with some project management and other similar workplace-related tasks that contribute nothing to the overall work product.

I made a similar decision as a former engineer in the physical realm. I would say normal engineering is about 90% 'fluff' work related to corporate traditions. In tech, it is more like 75%.

The only workers who truly focus only on their work are blue-collar workers. If that is what drives you, there are plenty of interesting trade jobs and fabrication jobs where people just solve problems day-in day-out and don't have to worry about dressing up or being diplomatic.
There are other plotters around that time, roland's for instance, that used a more obvious cartesian model. IE a 'print head' sliding on an x-axis rail, that slides on an y-axis rail. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uECs0F8Txj0, the roland dxy-1200)

Obviously if you use a roll of paper you need to run the paper itself back and forth unless you want to build something as big as a shopbot style table. I think the design for the 'roll-paper' plotters drove the design of much smaller plotters like the 7475a (which also moves the paper on one axis). Perhaps HP had a patent on that 'paper moves on one axis, pen moves on another?

Regardless, both designs were present in the 80s.
This "underground weapons store" sounds exactly like how Russian sources described what later turned out to be a barn.
This is not at all a reasonable interpretation of what she's saying.
I'm curious, how did you come the conclusion?
This is a facade of morality is extremely condescending. Just because I don't support socialism != not serving the nation and being patriotic, looking out for the interest of the country.

If you want to serve the country: build good communities, hold government accountable, make it efficient, engage in philantropy, join your local soup kitchen, be thankful for people that serve in the military and public services, serve if you can, run for public office and build good products/services that improve lives of people.

I'd argue that not supporting individualism is doing a disservice to the country. It is the reason why we have transistors and MRI machines, medicines and vaccines, iPhones and semiconductors, agriculture and roads (paid by taxes, 40% from large corporations). The impact of which is on an unprecedented scale compared to virtue signaling reparations.
