I'd definitely say it was fair at the time as that was around Hurricane Katrina and the vast majority of the most affected people at the time were low-income black people. IIRC some parts of the 9th Ward are still yet to recover from Katrina.....and that was 17 years ago.
That's fine, it helps. Countries the UK also have defamation laws that are much stronger than the US.

Yes, and even worse than my prediction that they'd completely ignore other road and footpath users and blind them indifferently the volkswagen one just flashes the high beams at them intentionally (at least when they aren't misidentified).

Can't wait for this one to start displaying ads when the driver's premium subscription runs out and when it's parked outside my bedroom (personalised by the cameras sending a live feed to audi).
The `srm` that used to ship with MacOS doesn't work with SSDs.

It worked by overwriting, renaming, and truncating the file before unlinking it.

On rotational HDs, the overwrites clobber the data in the same physical location on disk. On SSDs, the overwrites will typically appear in a new location on disk due to wear-leveling and block-sparing.

Your best bet is to turn on FileVault, wait for it to finish encrypting the drive, then wipe the whole disk in Recovery Mode.
As a huge Eminem fan, 2011 was a good time to stop counting.

I love his stuff, Revival, Kamazake, Music to be Murdered by - I probably know 10 songs almost by heart.

But there's no denying that it's been a very different decade for Mathers and not everyone likes it.
Good thing we have Kanye’s physician in the comments to make that determination.

Funny, I'm the opposite. I'm a tech guy and by this point I refuse to deal with grimy dirty worn pieces of paper in order to pay for anything.

If a place is cash only, they simply lose out on my business. I'm done using their shitty ATM in the back with its $5 fee, never again. And I'm done helping these cash-only businesses evade their taxes.

My communications are digital. My calendar is digital. My concert tickets are digital. Even house keys are turning digital. Physical cash is an anachronism.

If you need privacy, the solution needs to be encrypted value on refillable cards or a blockchain or whatever it is. But not grimy pieces of paper. Digital-only, please.

In the UK, coins are only considered to be legal tender up to a certain amount. This amount varies depending upon the value of the coin. See: https://www.royalmint.com/help/trm-faqs/legal-tender-amounts...

Is there any equivalent rule in the US?
There is another complication here though. I remember from my years as a political activist in college, those years can be quite angry, about everything. It's very easy to fall into the outrage trap, and there's also peer pressure to do so if your other friends are involved.

It's something that _most_ people grow out of and mature and realize that not every slight is intentional and demands wrath and justice. To be clear, I'm not saying they don't have a point, but that sometimes their messaging is very, very aggressive.

My rule of thumb follows yours, but I also make allowances for young people striving to make their mark in ways their peers tell them they should.
This argument pops at least 10 times everytime crypto is mentioned but I'm not sure it holds water when you compare Bitcoin and the traditional system.

The traditional monetary system prevents fraud by relying on trust and reputation of participating entities. Frauds can happen naturally but also can be reverted by making a few calls.

Of course this system suffer from its own problems specially being prone to corruption. You need permission to participate on a monetary network that is controlled by few. I'm not even talking about underground gray black market activity because unless you were living in a cave it wasn't long ago that Robinhood and others were blocking, reverting and force selling stocks from Gamestop and AMC.

Such things are rooted on the creation Bitcoin: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" is written on the genesis block.

Bitcoin transactions are final and do not depend on trust. You don't need permission to participate. Bitcoin won't kick you because you spoke some wrong on social media or is trying to raise money from a cause your government doesn't like like Belarus or Nigerian protests.

As many things in life the alternatives have trade offs. Personal responsibility is important. Keep your keys safe and do not participate in scammy or bleeding edge experimental defi or meme coin schemes.
No. You were talking about that. I was specifically saying that we aim for the best bang for the buck on scientific projects with local scrappiness not of relevance.
And in that case, it seemed like her holding company was abusing her.

So invoking power-of-attorney over someone isn't always the solution to their mental health. Its an extreme move, and I'm really not sure if its designed to be used in the typical mental-health case.

Its not like the mentally ill are suddenly incapable of performing useful work, or unable to watch over themselves. They just have... delusions, bad memory, swings of mood, terrible sleeping habits, etc. etc. They need help, not someone walking in and stealing their money / taking their house / losing all sense of agency all together.

Mental health is... difficult, but livable. Extreme actions like invoking power-of-attorney probably makes things worse in more situations IMO.
Hey, dev here!

Here you have the GitHub and Documentation links:

My rule for this is that:

* If breaking up the code makes it easier to understand with its current functionality then absolutely go ahead.

* If breaking up the code makes it slightly less easy to understand right now, but will make it easier to add some feature later that you know you know you're definitely going to need, then hold off.

Most of the time you "know" you're going to add a feature, you turn out to be wrong, and (worse than that) some other slightly different feature is needed instead that's actually harder to add because you broke up the logic along the wrong axis. Whereas, breaking code up purely based on what makes it easier to understand now, ironically, usually does a much better job at making it easy to add a feature later - it often almost feels like an accident (but it's not, really).

I bet your payment flow refactoring made things a bit easier to understand, even if it had never been worked on again.
As someone who doesn't listen to much rap / hip hop, and can only name his cover (adaptation?) of Stronger, I do know who Kanye is. I don't know anything about his music. Mostly I just know of him because he's a very public asshole. Much like his wife.

I find it basically impossible to empathize with him. I just wouldn't ever be in that situation. "Rising against adversity" is not the story I'd be be using here so much as just a typical strongman bravado leading to an absolute disconnect from reality.

I would wager greatly that it's not that he's grown cynical to people saying he can't do something, but that he's become delusional from people telling him a genius. People who convince themselves that they're smart do this thing where they have an idea, and conclude that because they've come up with it and they're smart that it must be a well reasoned idea.

> This is due to the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. When efficiency gains mean that a business's main costs are labor, then attempts to increase profit will be focused on cutting labor costs.

I think it is better characterized as demand for labor falling relative to supply of labor. Obviously everyone wants to cut all costs all the time, but whether or not they can depends on supply and demand.

Space exploration is a mod which has extra automation challenges compared to the base game, and it's probably got some of the most interesting ones compared to other mods which tend to just have the same basic concepts as the base game, just with many more steps piled on, which are probably more on the tedious side (pyanodons mods being the most infamous in this regard).

So you didn't read the part where police officials start descibing scenarios where it would be appropriate to arm the "bomb disposal device" with actual shotgun shells to kill people? Or the part where police refuse to prohibit the use of shotgun shells because they may want to use them one day? Or you just didn't bother to get that far before commenting?

I recommend leaving books behind for a bit. You need some experience. You don't need fancy tools, lists or anything. You can get started with a simple LinkedIn account and any tool to find email addresses or phone numbers (I like https://www.nymeria.io) but any will do.

Start calling/emailing and getting demos lined up. You will fail and embarrass yourself a lot. Keep trying. Keep learning.
This has happened at least 1573 times.. therefore it is not news. It becomes news if block time were to go to 1 hour average for a few days. However, when this scenario has occurred in the past transactions fees went so high that it made sense for miners to turn their miners back on to harvest the high fees.
When Canadians travel down to the US for work, they are always instructed to answer any questions with 'I'm just here for meetings/training', because telling CBP that you're going to be doing any programming for your Canadian employer while in the US is a great way to get denied entry.

I'm not sure how this works in the reverse direction, or in Mexico.
Semantics are really important in these situations. We have a system with an E-stop (emergency stop) circuit. Any break in the loop and the system will shut off. It needed to work together with one particular vendors board that insisted on having a "hardware enable" signal that it could control. Rather than adding an additional circuit, someone decided to have "hardware enable" flip a normally open relay in the E-stop circuit. Technically this "works" because enable clears the E-stop condition and allows the thing to function. From a practical point of view this has caused no end of odd problems, particularly when diagnosing issues where things fail because the meaning of this signal has been compromised.
Currently yes, but hydrogen is so easy to make from electricity that it predates sensible electrical generation methods by 43 years.

We didn't bother making hydrogen in large quantities because there was no point when we already had a convenient supply of a flammable gas, not because it's even remotely difficult.

As for looping...

I'm seeing at most:
' Lt. Joseph Turner' 'urged the commission to allow such a killer robot in case of “exigencies.”'

He does not appear to speak on behalf of the Oakland PD but on behalf of his own private views.

The official spokesperson appears to be:
'Lt. Omar Daza-Quiroz, who represented the department in discussions over the authorized robot use policy'

His claim that “Yes, we are looking into that and doing more research at this time.” is even farther.

There's also: 'According to Daza-Quiroz, the department is still looking toward the future. “We will not be arming robots with lethal rounds anytime soon, and if, and when that time comes each event will be assessed prior to such deployment,” he said.'

Even the closest of his claims: 'When asked if there were other situations beyond a Dallas-style sniper in which police might wish to kill with a robot, Daza-Quiroz added: “Absolutely there are many more scenarios.”'

Seems like expressing the fact that there imaginable scenarios where such a system is desirable. Not that the Oakland PD wants to do so.
You need to look at this from a game theory perspective since there are more than two parties involved. If company A pays for forklift training but can’t pay as high salaries as a result, but company B does not offer training and offers the higher salary, what are people going to do? Go get trained at company A and immediately jump to company B. So if you’re company A what are you supposed to do that’s actually business-feasible and not a loss-creating fantasy?
Thing is, I need to see the primary source before I can make a judgement. I tried to find the source for the first claim and it seems to be a quote from this Vice article:

>Carlson’s program also didn’t air a strange claim from Ye that “fake children” had been placed in his house to manipulate his children. “I mean, like actors, professional actors, placed into my house to sexualize my kids,” he told Carlson. He referred to the “so-called son” of an associate, seemingly to imply the child was fake.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/3ad77y/kanye-west-tucker-car...

I have no idea what exactly he is trying to say and I don't know the context, so it's not clear to me what to make of it.
I think this is the classic "when it is working well, no one notices"
My second-hand impression is that aircrew scheduling is a bit different from most jobs.

The flight attendants are not assigned a fixed schedule, but instead “bid” on specific trips: depending on their preferences, some crew might want flights of a particular length or on a certain type of plane, to arrange layovers in a specific city (or none at all), or even to work with/avoid certain colleagues.

They also alternate between periods where their bids set the schedule (“line”) and where they are on reserve/standby to fill in on flights where someone is missing. This could be because of illness, but flight delays and working hour restrictions (via safety regulations) add a lot of complexity. Another added wrinkle is that most crew don’t get paid until the flight doors are closed, so they really do not want to spend a lot of unnecessary time at the airport.

Thus, it’s a lot worse than managing schedules at a coffee shop, and I can totally imagine how a specialized app could help.

I'm obviously not defending drunk driving, but for many people, remember to double that cost.

You either have to take an uber both ways, or get an uber home, then back to your car in the morning.

I used to just Uber if I thought I'd be drinking at -all-, but hell that costed me about 60 to 70 bucks which definitely isn't realistic for most young people looking to just have a few beers out.

I think this is very valuable for web3 founders bootstrapping and with limited access to blockchain development resources.
Seeing the title I immediately thought of something AI/ML controlled. I read the article and thought the robot was autonomous up until more than halfway through where you mention it is remote-controlled. You even compare it to a Roomba, which is autonomous. It is confusing. Putting that it the first paragraph would make the article sound much different.
From the user's point of view, I can't think of a good reason to force users to update software, besides maybe a security/privacy issue. As a user, I expect software that works today to work tomorrow--forever. Every time I update, I risk getting a new UI shoved down my throat, or my favorite use case removed or broken, or the app has tripled in size for no discernible reason, or it's now too slow for my computer. I've been trained by software companies' repeated bad behavior to not update voluntarily unless I have some kind of assurance that it's purely a security update and no functionality has changed.

Version your API, figure out how to make maintaining the old versions zero cost, and don't throw users under the bus just because they are (understandably) unwilling to update.

Puerto Rico is a fairly large (top 100 largest) island with international airports. It is larger than many other islands that have observatories.

Areceibo already WAS a world class telescope and was closer to an international airport than many other observatories.

The only valid point you've made is about hurricanes and earthquakes. However I haven't seen any discussion as to how those effect contruction costs at that site vs others.
>The US Democratic Party is pretty right wing by European standards, and arguably more right wing than the UK Conservative Party.

Any facts to back this claim? I'd say the US Democratic party is more left wing than Europe's major parties now.
Not recover, but explain to the users that the data was deleted, and when it was deleted. If you have to provide support to customers, you will get a steady trickle of confused and angry customers wondering why their data disappeared after they (or their coworker, etc.) deleted it. Soft deletes let you answer those inquiries confidently with very little effort. With hard deletes, complaints like that can eat up support time with no satisfactory resolution.

I haven't experienced soft-deleted data being accidentally included, but I think that's because I've worked with systems that included soft deletes from the very start.

This discounts Kanye's production work as well and might discount many of his collaborations, but I expect Eminem to still have more listens on spotify.

However, in terms of influence on hip hop and pop music as a whole, I think Kanye is above Eminem and it's probably not close. Unfortunately, that's a lot harder to measure.
I'd say there was high variance in the past, like there is today

But the diet that Americans eat today is worse than that of the past, adjusted for income

i.e. we are > 1000x wealthier now, but eat poorer quality food than somebody with the same wealth 1000, 2000, or even 10,000 years ago.

This is because the entire food industry has "scaled" and become economically optimized

It's mistake to think we can't regress, or haven't regressed and forgotten valuable knowledge -- architecture is another good example
Some others that come to mind:

1. consulting
2. IT service firms (you have to be the owner of course)
3. being experienced in a really boring but useful niche: e.g. Wordpress plugins
4. having a cousin who works for the local gov and can help you win IT contracts

I think of all these fall in the same category: owner of tech/IT firm who provides boring but useful services and can get constant work.
Yeah, that advice was bad and looked like it was written by someone that's done too many deployments and not enough development.

He's certainly right that deployment validation is the best test at some level. But it completely leaves off the most important aspect. That deployment validation, and the mistakes that you inevitably find, should directly guide your test development to prevent regression.

If you do this, future component upgrades and deployments get easier. Its well worth the extra effort.

Everyone has “that story” about one particular airline but AA is particularly bad because a large portion of their fleet is old and requires a lot of maintenance which unsurprisingly causes delays and cancelations.

I echo the statement that I’ve never had an uneventful flight on AA. I fly a lot and can confidently say other major airlines are more reliable but usually also more expensive.
Ah thank you, that makes sense now. I'm not too used to how Twitter is organized.
