one example: driving a potentially huge sale (say, $10M/yr services contract with n years guaranteed) with a huge global company and getting an extremely rare time slot with their CEO to close the deal. in that situation, a $50k flight in a challenger to a muni airport that's 10 mins away makes a lot of sense

another example: there was a piece done on a doctor that bought a light jet for his practice. don't remember the specifics but i remember thinking that his use case made a lot of sense

I used my 14 year old laptop for a while. It worked fine. The electron apps surely took my 6gigs ram for a rough ride. And sometimes it got hanged. But everything was functional. I also think everyone should use an old computer to develop software. ElectronJS wouldn't have happened if we did.

BTW, it SHOULD be considered old. Maybe not retro level. But old. The author means old as a functional computer which can be used in day to day work or even professional.
First of all, those are erroneous and egregious comparisons. Secondly, it's quite possible that your local public library might have a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook [1]. For example, NYPL does carry it. [2]

Paying attention to them is fine, I think curiosity is an excellent trait. GP's comment is extremely similar to the "thanks for pushing normal people even further to the right" phrase in my linked article.

Despite the heritage of the creators, I personally view Scratch as a misstep. I am a big fan of visual programming, but Scratch is essentially an everyday imperative language with a structured editor and sprites. It doesn't maintain any of the simplicity or elegance of Logo or Lisp, and I'm honestly a bit surprised that the MIT Media Lab invests so much in it.
My current desktop is an i7-970: first generation i7, but hexa-core. It was the first time I bought a higher-end cpu and I've never regretted that. I also got it with 24GB RAM.

100% this. Even the people that I know that due much less complicated things would have tremendous issues. Editing a PDF in Acrobat, downloading some scanning software, etc etc.
If there is an issue of federal law raised (which can emerge during the case, e.g., if there is a due process issue with the handling of the case, even if it isn't initially part of the case) state Supreme Court decisions can be appealed directly to the US Supreme Court, though (like all appeals to the Supreme Court) such appeals are heard at the discretion of the US Supreme Court, not by right.

Implying that a primary causal factor for globally-declining birth rates could be... increased adoption of sunscreen, leading to decreases in libido?

Yes, it was an attempted coup.

You forgot the real estate speculators that are trying to cash in on driving up prices into the sky, so that they can turn around and rent or sell these properties at a massive profit to the people who are moving into the area.

If you could eliminate the speculators, then the house price rise would probably be a lot closer to the income rise.

> Do US libraries typically offer books that glorify 9/11?

I don't know the titles of any such books to search for, but my local public library has several books by notorious holocaust denier David Irving. So probably they wouldn't have a problem with a pro-9/11 book either.

My face skin looks way better with regular exercise. Something about the pores + overall tone. I start to notice a difference after 2 sedentary days, and am repulsed by it after a week+ without exercise. I also get a musk coming from my groin that seems to seep through clothes, and is barely affected by showering.

By sedentary I mean full-on jacked-in to the Matrix, 14 hour days on the computer. Someone with a more balanced life will probably experience it differently.
Don't give services your phone number. Refuse to use services that demand your phone number.

Twitter has been a gigantic PITA about this. Consequently, I have to use nitter for everything. To be fair, I think I come out ahead, actually.

Companies need to start being fined real money for losing PII (personally identifiable information). Once the idea of holding PII translates into "This might cost us $100 million" companies will stop keeping PII.

If Maus were rated according to TV standards, there's no way it'd get less than TV-14. Unless you think shows rated TV-14 can be kids' shows, I think that disqualifies it as a kids' book.

Yes — and this possibility has been factored by the market into that $42 price. It's among the reasons why the stock isn't trading significantly lower.

But therein lies the assumption.
Debit cards will get charged back all the same. Some fraudsters will "lose their card" just to chargeback all charges since they "lost it".
So, you've got the problem where people are expected to work below a living wage, and if they don't then you'll give someone else the job.

Like when the guys who did the special effects for "Life of Pi" won the Academy Award for special effects, but they also went bankrupt before they could collect the trophy.

The software for most special effects is well known and a relatively small and fixed cost. But salaries are a huge part of the cost, and in theory anyone in the world can just run the software. So, all those jobs get outsourced to the cheapest countries in the world, if you're not willing to work for similar bottom of the barrel rates.
The company can do whatever, the consumer or a consumer protection agency would then have to sue, so this is highly asymmetrical (against the consumer/fraudster) in the individual case.

A company trying to scam people like this by claiming return fraud would likely find itself in expensive hot water once the pattern became obvious though.

Avoiding the risk of having to deal with this is one of the reasons why people buy via Amazon (aside from convenience and fast+cheap shipping).
Yes, but for simple usages it is somewhat similar to things like JSON, they don't have to learn a language to install some commonly used packages.
Which is a good thing because most users do not want to configure and program Guix stuff all the time. Many will only use it every few months, and probably don't want to learn syntax and semantics again and again.

Extreme terseness like APL or math notation is fine if you work with something all the time. However for infrastructure code and especially build systems, I think readability as well as robustness are much more important aspects.
FYI, you are 1 day late, but yes, this is a truly funny story :-)

Obsession with keeping skin white is not something I normally see associated with South Korea, Singapore, or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Library does not exist in a vacuum, it must serve the needs of their local residents.

If residents think that queer pornographic novels should not be on display for kids at library, then it kinda makes sense to curate content to meet the needs of residents. Those who need this book desperately can always checkout this book online.

Good decision to organize grassroots movement among residents and tell library board clearly that library is not meeting needs of its residents/constituents/taxpayers.

the subject of grooming is very alarming too, indoctrination of kids (in one way) is unacceptable
If that’s the case then it’d come as a relief. But I doubt it. Realistically the fact wage to housing/health/education/childcare is a bigger contributor.

I'll add

1. keep code that performs calculations separate from code that performs side effects. In fact isolate the latter as much as possible.

2. Avoid spooky action at a distance. Code should relentlessly work towards a clear goal.
Absolutely! Also “town” seems rather uncharitable as Marseille has been a city without interruption for the past 2600 years since it’s founding as Massalia by Greek colonists - making it almost as old as Rome. It’s home to 1.8 million today, and a beautiful place to visit!

There’s a better way:

1. If there is a subject you’re passionate about, go for it

2. Cost matters. If you select a degree that doesn’t earn a lot and you live in a country where higher education can be expensive, unless if you have the opportunity to study at a game changing institution, consider going for a low cost program

3. If you don’t know what you want to study, pick two or three relatively high earning degrees that you may enjoy, take introductory classes in all of them and build your study path around the one you find most enjoyable

4. Work experience and internships matter. Outside of some notable exceptions, you will likely have more success if you have a somewhat lower GPA and several internships on your resume

There's nothing "bad faith" about it. The tweet is supportive of the lawsuit, and not supportive of Bernstein's weird, heavily-telegraphed, long-predicted claims that a NIST contest he opted to participate in was corrupted by dint of not prioritizing his own designs.

Your bit about the "obviously Jewish family name" thing is itself risible, and you should be embarrassed for trying to make it a thing.
I'd never give bad behavior a pass, but I think moral points are superfluous to the discussion, and they only serve to show emotional bias, they don't really serve the right method of evaluating the overall situation.

Expressing character traits and flaws puts a harmful spin on discussions. Think of the situation as if an unknown person did the very same things perhaps?

The actual actions taken and specific words written and recorded are the only things that will be considered most by a court ultimately (if correct process is followed).
I wonder if they understood the proposed tax was necessary funding for the library rather than extra funding.
Question: how does sunscreen affect these outcome ? I have been in a UV-high indexed area for over 2hrs a day under sun and wondered if applying sunscreen everyday as I have to exposed parts such as arms and legs have negative consequences since all of them have benzene. Now this seems to be another reason for not doing so?
Libraries provide services (like wifi, printers, classes etc) to people who may not be able to afford the lifestyle most of us enjoy here. Some are interested in learning and maybe trying to get ahead. $24 in property taxes per year seems a great deal to empowering people.

I'm a tech-head (like most of us here) and recently joined my local library. I was amazed about all the cool books they had (i.e. they had a lot that's been recommended here). All free for you to take home.

Close the fancy macbook-pro and iphone for a weekend and try and explore the internet. It's probably harder than you think, especially if you're not financially capable or you have a crappy phone.

Then go visit your local library and marvel at the wealth of information. You might be surprised how long you spend there. I certainly got flashback to my childhood, just exploring and reading.
In the context of the US, it means the federal reserve (which isn't even the US government) is purchasing a ton of Treasury securities from it's member banks, which are now flushed with excess cash that they can use to lend and profit from. This lending is what actually injects money into the economy. If the banks lend a lot of it out, this in turn will start driving down interest rates, which in turn causes a ripple effect across the economy.

Notice that I said "can". If the banks don't actually lend out any money to people and businesses, then no money is actually created and interest rates won't go down. If you don't think that's possible then read about Japan's lost decade and zombie banks.

"Which private hands are receiving it? Do they get it for free?"

The federal reserve buys directly from its banks (with some exceptions). It doesn't buy Treasury securities from the federal government/Treasury. This is in accordance to federal reserve act (https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/money_12851.htm)

The federal reserve will credit the money to its member banks out of thin air/electronically. They don't print physical money.

These banks don't get the money for free. They have to have the Treasury securities to sell to the federal reserve.

Where you can learn about all this? This is a macroeconomics subject matter. In college, it's usually the third econ course that business and econ majors take. Usually the title of the course is "Money and Banking". If you really want to get into the practice of it, then many universities offer a course called "Central Banking"; warning: you have to be really into ECON and this is an advance level course...

You can also try this course on Udemy about central banking. It's probably not as advance as the university level course, but maybe it's good enough - https://www.udemy.com/course/central-banks-and-quantitative-...
