Some speculated that prosecutors had gone soft on looting after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. But it is hard to see any such trend in the data: generally states with more shoplifting prosecute more shoplifters

The claim is about the time-series comparison, and the rebuttal is about the cross section comparison. Is the journalist in question stupid, gaslighting, or both?
By "is this position reachable in a standard game?", do you mean "is it possible to reach this position if both players are cooperating to do so?" or "is it plausible to reach this position if both players are playing to win?"
Dr Strangelove is my favorite film. Absolutely hilarious, and also a good satire on the actual views of some at the time.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. They do lock out domains that were previously registered and still active from being re-registered [that's happened to me too]. Their Support should have offered you to contest and take over. It's not immediate [takes several days to go through the process and the departed employee will delay things] but if you can demonstrate positive DNS record control and go through the motions with support it does get done and you gain control. If they didn't offer it to you over support, try asking for it [if you are still wanting to go ahead with it]. It's not great speed but it also serves to protect you should someone else at the company decides to impersonate you and recreate the domain.

Best of luck!

gawk compiled to webassembly would seem to fit the bill -- just shifts gawk from "external" dsl to "internal" dsl. orthogonality allows for usage of all modern interface trappings without any retooling and/or breaking rules of gawk language. Makes gawk a module in group of customized modules to form a general-purpose program out of dsl/little languages.

One can see "Dark Ages" as part of a global wave of innovation that slowly passes across the surface of the globe travelling from the ancient east to the west and now back to the East. Disatisfaction and inferiority lead to experimentation and progress, but success leads to complacent abusive elites for whom progress is more of a problem than a solution.
Note that by definition, they sold all that they made.

It could be that efficiency -- usually oven space or mixer capacity -- causes them to make it in lots of, say, 50 loaves. If they make one lot and sell out, they make two lots -- but if the second lot doesn't sell out, they go back to making one lot a day. Better to be in demand than taking a loss on unsold product.

Only if you're calling external code that assumes that. The power of Asm largely comes from not needing to follow arbitrary conventions in your own code. The boundaries where you interface to external code are the only constraints.
dvery time the Google Cloud sales people contact me to try to increase my enterprise's use of GCP, I tell them this over and over. I don't want to give my money to Google if AWS does a much better job of customer support. And we're serious: we use all 3 clouds, we have TAMs in each of them, and a direct line to senior leadership.

I used to work for Google and then left for a startup; the sales people kept calling and saying "Urs wants to talk to the CEO" and I'd say: "the CEO hired me to negotiate our cloud deal. We considered GCP but AWS made a far better offer. Urs can call me and we can discuss the limitations of GCP". (I know Urs; I'm the one on stage with him when GCE was launched, running the demo). He never did call and we never gave them our business.

(BTW, my first question for Urs was going to be "why did you defend killing Google Reader? That strongly affected my interest in buying Google products." :)

It's definitely only a great, good place from a certain perspective. People I respect greatly refer to "the orange site" as "toxic", "misanthropic" or "misogynistic" and full of "microdosing" "VC worshipping wankers" who don't read TFA.

It's definitely taken a different path than the one it was on c.2010 where any entrepreneur was effectively worshipped. I'm not sure if it's better or worse. The site rarely brings me joy. If it disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't miss it, but I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Don't want to be too disparaging, but this to me doesn't seem to be an 'Introduction to Genomics', but more an introduction to read mapping and variant detection in human (or more broadly diploid) genomes.

Genomics stretches vastly beyond this - assembly and annotation to start with.

This is great!

Just a few thoughts: It could be good to add a `X` a kind of close button to the pop up when you click on a match. It's not entirely intuitive where to click to close it if you're on mobile.

On that line, when you double click on a match (or double tap to enter full screen) it looks very bad on mobile.

This is a very useful website! Thanks.
> Another is that the truly greedy thing is to construct a society such that some people can’t afford basic necessities, and that inflicts far more suffering than people stealing what they need to live.

Your argument would be more sound if the people stealing were stealing for themselves instead of selling them on a marketplace at slightly below retail with a 100% margin. Their theft hurts the jobs and customers (some shops have outright closed) and it also still has the end customer paying basically the same amount.
If it’s “for cause,” then is any severance at all warranted?

I'd like the organized retail theft (gangs of people robbing a store) cracked down on, but in general I'd prefer a softer touch on general petty shop lifting.

These are different things, with different motivations, and cracking down on someone stealing because they have nothing doesn't actually prevent that from happening more (you need to address the underlying issue).

The organized crime, however, should be harshly treated, because these folks are doing this to enrich themselves, and it's organized. The biggest problem here is that stopping this requires more than just police arresting people. It requires actual investigation work, and it seems that police funding tends to go to patrols and not investigation. Close rates for investigations are at all time lows. I really wish this was the focus of law & order republicans, rather than "we need to arrest people", because that only catches the easy, petty criminals.
This is simply not true. Solving hunger and poverty is EXTREMELY difficult. The US could use more social programs to help resolve it, but solving it outright is basically impossible.
Sure!

I wanted only to point out that using the word "even" in the cited part is kind of "funny". Because this was actually the originally intended usage of Java.

It was invented as safe replacement of C/C++ especially for embedded development. (But now, sure, it ended up on the really huge boxes in DCs).
This does not seem worthy of a ban on the face of it. My sympathy goes out to OP.

The UK didn’t lockdown as much or spend as much as neighbors on COVID. In fact, they were famously late to locking down with Boris Johnson opting for a “let her rip” strategy until much later.

And its continental neighbors are way more exposed to Russian gas than the UK is.

And yet the UK is doing significantly worse than its European neighbors. It’s the only major European country whose economy has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

What the UK is facing right now is uniquely UK. The most likely culprit is Brexit. The other possible culprit could simply be the absolutely corrupt and unstable governments it has had over the past couple of years. We know, for example, that Liz Truss’s month or so in charge cost the UK at least 50 billion dollars simply through immediate effects of the terribly I’ll-advised mini budget.
I'm not sure how that could even be an issue. You need access to the gmail account to confirm the email either way. The only possible issue I can imagine is a poorly built site assuming that all email servers do this and ignoring dots in emails.

I think this refers to handling JSON ActivityStreams objects at the `/outbox` endpoint for a logged-in user, and then broadcasting those out appropriately. If so, then yes that's the only API that's used. It also handles the uploadMedia endpoint and a few other details that are included in the spec.

In the big $8 million bust a few years back in the Bay Area, it turned out that they were paying street criminals more to steal specific items like toothpaste, but the police were frustrated by Amazon’s lack of assistance in figuring out all of the involved parties. Can’t find the specific article at the moment but that really stood out to me at the time.

Cool idea! I'll start looking into that.
Though I know these exist somewhere, I haven't personally seen one in the 3 years I've been here.

Petty theft does occur in Tokyo, and there's organized crime as well. You don't see this kind of organized retail theft because the police would actually investigate it, rather than do nothing and cry about "the crackdown on police rights".
I'm not sure how to consider the stats you're using here. Metropolitan areas aren't cities, the whole reason for the term is to include not just adjacent suburbs, but whole adjacent cities to major urban cities. Do we really consider an hour away and for cities over living in San Francisco?

More extreme instances likely restricted to particular areas but much more widespread is locking up seemingly cheap stuff behind cage/plastic.

In Australia, spraypaint in a hardware store is locked up but often not much else that I can recall. In Home Depot in the US, power tools even in the $30-80 range can be, amongst other things. In supermarkets in most states/cities I've been to, cheap toiletries can require help from staff with a key, plus some electronics in the automotive section. Seems to be a reaction to targeted theft rather than just value of items.

The JVM is Turing complete. So you can run any language you please on it.

The question is—as always—how efficient this is.

But this goes also the other way around.

Even you can in theory run arbitrary languages on a WASM runtime the question how efficient this is stands also!

And in fact running anything else than "C languages" in WASM is at least as inefficient as running "C languages" on the JVM…
“Pointy-haired PMs” is a good one. I have to use this.

In all honesty, this is just absurd, and is playing out like some bad movie plot. Next I expect Musk to fire more engineers without any severance at all, and force them to exit the building wearing one of those #GetWoke T-shirts he unearthed in a Twitter closet. He’ll then tweet out the video of the fired engineers exiting, and mock them with a Tweet like “Out with the old! Maybe you should go work at Grindr! LOL!”
