> The wikipedia article on African American literature would certainly suggest there's plenty to choose from.

Absolutely, I recognize I might just be unaware, and that's probably because they're not made into big budget movies and very much should be. I'd also love to see that. And to be clear, I'm in 100% agreement that I want to see and think there should be a lot more of their stories represented and made into big productions.

What I wonder though is how much those stories are a part of the average Afro American active culture. Do they grow up reading those books too, or they do so reading Tolkien instead?

If the experience of an Afro American child is Marvel Comics, Disney movies, and Tolkien stories, and you continue to exclude them from the characters, it just seems wrong.

I also wonder if there are a lot that aren't slave stories or racial tension stories.

And finally I wonder if the stories would always be diverse, logically they'd all include white people, since Afro American heritage now is American life, a life in a place of diverse people from many race.

And maybe this is my point as well, if you write fantasy, but your experience is American, why wouldn't you include people of all color in your story? But if you did, you'd one hundred percent get some folks come out and say that fantasy stories are European inspired and should only have white people in them. That if a person has an Irish accent they can't be of black skin, and what does that make of black people in Ireland right now?
You could live with dignity here in France on minimum wage, how about the US?
There are just as many hydrolox(hydrogen + liquid oxygen) as kerolox(RP-1 kerosene + LOX). Atlas, Delta, H-II, Ariane 5, Long March 5, to name a few, all use hydrolox.

I believe a part of reasons why launch attempts are called "attempts" is because of extreme scrub and failure rate of launch vehicle launches, and I think the fact that scrubs are now considered abnormal can be attributable to SpaceX and Elon Musk. I was old enough to remember watching last few of Space Shuttle launch attempts, and from my experience watching launch streams, scrubs and recycling due to hydrogen leaks, erratic sensor readings, upper atmosphere weather, and private boats and planes violating keepout areas were entirely normal events, with a global sole exception of the Soyuz launch vehicle flying from Baikonur Cosmodrome, which delayed or failed up to once in a decade or so.

Apparently it pisses off people in power, sometimes might have caused off-season human resource reallocations, but rocketeers basically never cared. That was until Falcon 9 started launching on first tries of each attempts.
The thing most folks don’t realize is that Computer Science isn’t Software Engineering. They’re related but distinct.

Software Engineering is a lot of the day to day work you do as software engineer. It’s more about people, process, execution. In reality, most problems you’ll encounter in day to day software engineering won’t be CS problems. Lots of CRUD-shaped apps of varying forms and sizes.

Occasionally, you’ll get a real CS shaped problem and those are fun.

As others say - refreshers worked well since you’ve already learned the material. Find some interesting books or ideas to explore and they’ll come back.
The Dhall config language has a very persuasive landing page (https://dhall-lang.org/), nice docs (https://docs.dhall-lang.org/tutorials/Getting-started_Genera...), and also a great philosophy of preventing errors through correct design: https://docs.dhall-lang.org/discussions/Safety-guarantees.ht...
Yes, this seems like some sort of card testing attempt. Glad most of the fraud was caught. Not sure if you’re the author, but I’d like to see how we could’ve helped better. Could you forward me your thread with support at edwin@stripe.com? Also, if you haven’t implemented them yet, I might recommend looking into CAPTCHA and rate limiting to help prevent future attempts.
Yeah, it's not like NASA has ever had a problem ignoring their own procedures when it comes to the seals on these kinds of rockets...
Could you look at some of the links in this thread applicable to the issue, rather than simply repeating your (minority) opinion as though it's gospel?
Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of a cancer cell. It's antithetical to human well-being, too. If using some humans as objects increases profits, their well-being is, well, irrelevant.
I'm glad somebody posted this. I've been following Brad DeLong for a long time. I feel like I know the book already since he's been blogging it forever, but I'm going to be happy to get my hands on it.
I don't mind character switches and such in media, but reaching a point in conversation like the one above, where the comment I'm replying to is asking everyone to RTFM history books to discover this supposedly hidden massive diversity in the Middle Ages is frankly, just a bad comment.
I thought I would laugh after this article, but in reality I could cry. My current new job, I had seriously a total of 9 interviews!
And guess what - I thought it was kind of a red flag but still continued just to realize how much of a control freak top down management is in this company.

My take-away: After 3 interviews start to ask yourself if maybe decision making is broken in this company. After 5 its a red flag.
Kids learn phonetic writing much quicker than glyph writing. It's much more intuitive for a child.

It also helps to limit the fragmentation of pronunciation of words.
I do fixed project fees against tight scopes rather than hourly rates. When things go out of scope, it's expensive enough ($250-300/hr) to create a pain point.

One thing I don't more of and it surprises me: There's no reason to charge all clients the same rate. If you're solving a five-figure problem for one client and a seven-figure problem for another using basically the same solution, why charge them the same?

Hey everyone. My names Rick. Im the person Adam is interviewing. If any of you are interested in learning more about Underdog Devs, please reach out to us on Twitter @RwoltX and @UnderdogDevs or directly to underdogdevs.org

We are always looking for people who would like to get involved

the most common involvement is mentoring and pair programming

we also could use help in other areas...someone to help develop partnerships, admin, and general marketing.

as for donations ... Everything we receive goes directly to the mission. We do not take a dime to pay for any salaries. None of us do. We work as volunteers. Every penny we receive goes to learning resources and to the stipend program to pay the bills of our most gritty who are held back due to their financial situation.

The tenant, if any of this goes on their credit report (or they have to use the landlord as a reference) even if eviction doesn’t happen, will also find it almost impossible to rent anything else in the near future. If they are evicted, then forget about renting for however long the eviction stays on their record.
Every technical meetup group I have been involved with his perennially desperate for speakers. If you make the effort to be present both physically and virtually for about three meet up groups over the course of about three months, I think it’s very likely you could get slotted in to speak by month 6. It’s possible they would add you on as a moderator for the group, guaranteeing persistent visibility if you are willing to put in the work (assuming you are a honest and decent person, this is a win-win because these communities have a huge positive externalities)
A thinking machine would handle errors. That seems simple. Are you imagining that "AI" would be a static piece of code?
Removed. Thank you so much.
All the talk about racial anything, is mostly just noise imo. The only thing that matters at the end of the day is good writing, good acting, good directing, and good cinematography (at least for shows).

It's been showing a lack of the first two so far.
Is the pricing info merely hard to find or omitted by design?
Love this.

What if Rust provide a separate analyzer to analyze potential memory leak from this language.
The epoch is adjustable by updating the firmware... if there is an updated firmware. That's the reason for the current batch of devices dying now: it's based on a date set in their firmware. Unfortunately these are embedded receivers so making anything adjustable isn't necessarily easy.

I'm not aware of any devices that implement a rollover counter but there may be some, though a rollover counter needs to figure out how to deal with corrupted or spoofed signals and will have issues like spares off the shelf not working like the device they're replacing.
Identity:

identity, n.
4. "the state or fact of being the same one as described."

Those companies aren't trying to verify that information for its intrinsic suitability, and their goal isn't to facilitate a transaction with someone who merely has all of someone else's personal information- they're trying to make sure the person engaging in that transaction is the person indicated on the form. If they switched to say, a finger print, voice sample, DNA, and an in-person interview with an ID check, they would still be trying to validate your identity.

> stealing an identity isn't actually possible. What is possible is legally persuading a bank that you are someone else.

That's like saying murdering someone with a gun is incredibly difficult because unless you actually beat them to death with the gun itself, you're just aiming and pulling a trigger, which isn't even illegal in many cases.

Theft:

steal, v.
2. "to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment,"

Appropriating your identity for the duration of a transaction certainly fits.

> Calling it identity theft when all someone has to do is get on to one of the many public data leaks and find your information is weird. It's not some kind of heist, it's using publicly available information to trick gullible banks.

Nothing in that definition requires the thing in question was suitably protected or appropriate for the job. Nothing requires that it be permanently stolen or that anything be removed from anyone's possession.

---

I agree that the data and mechanisms used are not up to the task, but only using arbitrary definitions of theft and identity and looking at the mechanisms of theft while ignoring the purpose of those mechanisms doesn't mean the term is wrong or that people aren't, by definition, stealing people's identities. You don't get to decide that people can't use specific, existing dictionary definitions to evaluate whether a term makes sense. And that's just from a technical perspective-- English is a descriptive language and terms mean what popular usage dictates they mean.

So unless you have some convincing arguments that nothing, by any definition, was stolen, that personal data wasn't being used to determine identity, and that the colloquial usage of the term doesn't actually matter, then identity theft is undeniably the correct term. The heistiness of the acts, other non-applicable definitions of the words, and the suitability of the methods of verifying identity are entirely irrelevant.
The larger-scale evidence is of much lower quality than an RCT.

I don't think the study is dispositive, but it's strong evidence, much stronger than a message board axiomatic derivation of why psilocybin should work.
> The rebellion was against a puppet installed by Russia

By the means of democratic general elections?

They won't have to be a 'part' of Russia provided that they has observed some basic precautions, which I have listed and whose violations you are vehemently defending.
Could you tell us what provider you're using for these phone numbers? Many services won't sent SMS to VOIP numbers due to fraud, fake accounts, etc.
I am Brazillian, and here this Nokia strategy was working just fine.

Android back then was crap, iPhone and Blackberry too expensive.

Symbian phones were spreading like wildfire in dry grass, people were switching from dumbphones to Symbian, and the community was having great growth, I saw children looking online for tutorials how to learn coding so they could make Symbian games, there was even a bootleg Counter-Strike for Symbian.

As soon the demo came out, Symbian sales tanked, and people switched instead to random cheap and crap Chinese phones, a popular one was "hiphone".

The effect in my view was devastating, all the hacking community that was starting, suddenly died, what proliferated now was poor quality phones or people doing crazy things (one waiter sold his kidneys to buy an iPhone, literally). Nokia had a very confortable first place in market share in Brazil, in a few months they had became irrelevant.

And now the effects are still felt, in Brazil it is hard to get a decent phone without going into debt, a lot of good phones with interesting features are not sold here, and you can't import them either, because the proliferation of chinese cheap phones that caused all sorts of trouble, the national regulator decided that they will ban from the cell towers any phone that they detect that doesn't have official permission to be sold in the country, this means there is no FairPhone in Brazil, no Shift phone, no Jolla, and so on.

And sadly, not even Nokia themselves are bothering with us anymore, they recently released some fairly interesting phones with WhatsAPP support using FireFox OS (KaiOS), and didn't bother asking permission to sell them here, so they can't be imported.
Internal busses can operate in parallel, at some fraction of the serial bandwidth. You only need really fast stuff at the PHY. An interleaver/deinterleaver circuit is not much more complicated than the kind of signal shaping hardware you would need multiple copies of in the cable.

Size of budget doesn’t determine jobs or not. Artemis exists because Congress didn’t like Constellation’s cancellation. Its Block II configuration underperforms Starship at significantly higher cost, both to develop and to operate, all without anywhere close to the technological progress of even Falcon Heavy. SLS exists first to provide jobs. The military-industrial complex has an obvious first and foremost purpose, and it’s pretty good at it.
I'm not suggesting critique without completion is invalid: I am suggesting critique without viewing is invalid.

Since BBSs and Usenet there has been plenty of commentary of ongoing series.

But the difference now seems to be people having an opinion, sharing that opinion... and then calling out that they haven't even watched the part of the show that is out.

Which boggles my mind.

I probably wouldn't opine publicly on Sidney Poitier or Katharine Hepburn as actors if I'd never seen anything they were in...
Fair enough, then I (slightly) misunderstood what your site is about.
I'm annoyed my mouse cursor also didn't get the same effect...

By the way, lots of websites use this shortcut for fun stuff (my own applications usually open the internal dev tools when you use it, at least for desktop/frontend applications), so you should randomly try it from time to time :)
I have to think that this is pure click-bait. I know a lot of people who love their ebikes and now do lots of things (shopping, dropping kids off at school, going to friends' houses) that they otherwise would have done in a car. Especially where I live in California which is so car-centric.

I agree that ebikes are relatively new and they are clunky and heavy and imperfect. But they certainly also feel like a revolution.

They did have trouble with these same hydrogen leaks during the previous attempt. I’m unclear if they ultimately got that leak stopped and the vehicle fully tanked or not. What was the final nail in the coffin on Monday was the chill down issue with engine 3. Though the consensus seems to be that that was not a chill down issue at all but a bad temperature sensor.
Theresa May, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, John Mayor, Margaret Thatcher ... A lot can be said about any of these people, but not that they were "flashy, shallow, easily bored". Boris Johnson was a fluke, not a pattern. And eventually he was also a fluke that was forced to resign by his own party.
How does America have such an abundance of police which behave in such an obviously morally corrupt manner?

In most nations the police makes at least a token effort to appear trustworthy for plausible deniability. From the states you get weekly reports that are so outlandishly bad that you almost can't believe it.

Really strange as a bystander.
Unless you already have a million, then 50% chance at 50 million can make more personal sense than another million.
> The only part of the depiction he’s complaining about is race

Am I?

Are you sure?

Can you quote me on that please?

The blue fairy is an important part of my culture, at least for me.

If someones rewrites it using all the power of a conglomerate like Disney, that puts at risk our shared culture and heritage.

For me she's gonna be a woman with blue air, for someone younger it will be a bald black woman, that has no direct representation in the society where I live.

I don't care who the actress is or what the color of her skin is, it's just not the "Fata Turchina", it's another character.

Simple as that.

Try doing that with Sherlock Holmes and see what happens.

What would happen if a Chinese company made a movie where Martin Luther King is an Albanian immigrant who came to Italy with the Vlora ship in 1991 to become a supporter of immigrants rights and got killed by a mobster in a fight over a pool game?
If she hadn't stayed in power, the greens would have been in power. What would the difference be exactly?
Unless there is a massive recession, I would consider scaring off more than 80% an opportunity to spend time prospecting for better clients. I can’t speak for the UK, but I really suspect you can find them.

Also don’t forget that some fraction of the clients who balk at the increase from their anchor-bias price will come back to you after they see the low quality they get from other vendors at that price. Just be gracious when they leave.
I'm glad you had a good outcome. It's difficult to relate to your experience from the outside. Most of the time people talk about these experiences, they are vague and difficult to understand.

Sometimes in poor cases it can sound like gym-bro science where I should totally pop a supplement because this guy had a good experience on it and trust me bro.

I would love to know more specifically about the subjective experience is like, so we can pick out pieces that have a greater meaning to collective understanding.

Depression is an umbrella term for one experience caused by many, many different problems. Some chronic medical situations are going to allow your body to be re-depressed after a positive drug experience, so being able to see subjective reports in detail can allow the public to decide if it's worth doing a psychedelic treatment.

Not to mention we should probably map this experience out to slowly cut down on the same speculative questions every time drugs come up; about the divine/psychological/medical nature of a drug trip.
It was cool but apparently the highest it went was 3 km. Not the same as landing from a nearly orbital speed.
thank you for the kind words. I was really lucky to get another chance considering the severity of my mistakes. Helping others get their life on track seems the least I could do.
An ebike has different value for peoples individual needs. I don’t think you can make an grand assumption about people and the value they get from them.

My ebike arrives on Tuesday and I’m getting my car ready to sell today. My car has now sat in my garage for 2+ years now with very little use since we already own another vehicle. I’ll use it to get around our Midwest city without showing up drenched in sweat a couple times a month while doing other things with the cash from my car. We’ll see how it works out.
The unions are present at the board level after a certain size and therefore have more empathy for a companies plight and objectives.

They are more demanding when the company does well, but willing to chip in when the company is in trouble.
At this rate it seems really unlikely to me that the next mission will have humans on it.
Libraries are a farce. Stdlib or die. I 100% mean this and live this.
20 year to build a nuke plant? You'll want to learn about the "plan Messmer". Or 6 years to build 13 900 MW reactors. When they only had experience with UNGG tech and wanted to use PWR.

I think in the end, 55 reactors were build in 12 years, replacing all coal and gas plants except for 2.

I mean, 50 000 MW in 12 years, basically. For today equivalent of 50 billions USD.
I replied to someone claiming that you should always go for certainty no matter how many games you play. If you get to play the game 49 times it doesn’t make much sense to go for certainty 49 times because 2^-49 (or 2^-20) is really small.
For those who say they would press the red button ...

* Imagine the payout on the red button were not $1M but $100K or $50K or $10K. Is there any point as it diminishes toward zero that would make you switch buttons?

* Imagine the payout on the green button were not $50M but $100M or $500M or $1B. Is there any point as it increases toward infinity that would make you switch buttons?

For those who say they would press the green button ...

* Imagine the payout on the red button were not $1M but $2M or $5M or $10M. Is there any point as it increases toward $50M that would make you switch buttons?

* Imagine the odds on the green button were not 1:2 but 1:3 or 1:5 or 1:10. At what point, as the odds diminish, would you switch buttons?
Looks like the site is still under construction?

Investing has a degree of this as well. And, in practice, most rational investors will diversify based on a number of factors into fairly safe but low return assets and into potentially higher return but riskier ones.
For the curious:

(11) The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore:

(12) cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;

(13) cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves. [New International Version]

The King James Version includes "souls":

(11) And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

(12) The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

(13) And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
