The preferred establishment picks still have to win. Biden didn't do well in Iowa in 2020, though potentially because Biden's Iowa campaign was run very poorly. [1]

On the other hand if a primary chooses a candidate that ultimately produces a winner in the general election, they probably should go first the next time.
Iowa didn't vote for Bill Clinton in 1992. But as it was for Biden, it was after Iowa where Clinton got momentum (in Clinton's case Georgia). [2]

I would need to spend money to purchase a domain and some kind of server before I can publish a python module? That doesn't seem right. And I presume I would need to keep paying for it as long as I want my modules available and verified. Attaching required monetary purchases to an open source ecosystem is not a good idea.
The article makes a point of blaming "individualism" (apparently the author thinks we'd be safer if we could all just embrace "the collective good" and buy Priuses) but many of these problems can be traced to government policy, or lack thereof. The NHTSA has encouraged carmakers to build bigger with size-based fuel economy standards. Outside of California, subsidies for EVs and PEVs have mostly been limited to the federal tax credits, which are lower than the subsidies I've seen in Western Europe. And some of those European subsidies used to be available for plain old hybrids, which was never the case in America. Pedestrian deaths are made worse by larger vehicles, and also by failures to invest in sidewalks, crosswalks, roundabouts, and other safety infrastructure. Speeding can be seen as evidence of selfishness, but if freeways and school zones were blanketed in automated speed traps then the self-interested choice would be to slow down.

I'm not saying there's no culture involved here (the point about Republicans buying more big cars is interesting, but the survey is paywalled so I can't look into it more) but there's no need to go straight to culture when there's a wealth of more practical reasons for the state of the US vehicle market.

Railway does look impressive. However, as someone in the market for a Heroku alternative - I’d say there really aren’t any Heroku competitors. At least nothing directly comparable. The thing that keeps me (and I’m sure other small business owners) tied to Heroku is just how much they take care of for you. I literally never ever want to think about my infrastructure beyond initial setup. Heroku, to my knowledge, is the only provider that allows me to do this while servicing more than 100,000 users.
Ukrainians are dying in a war that any educated person knows they are likely to lose. The more money we send them, the more Ukrainians will die. The best solution is a peaceful solution.

If you are so righteous in your concern for the plight of Ukrainians, go there and help them! Otherwise you are like the guy who coerces his buddy into a fistfight while hiding safely in the shadows, like a miserable coward.
It’s also been an incredibly risky ride. Mt Gox collapsed in 2014 so owning a bunch of btc 10 years ago is no guarantee you’d be doing well today.

But I talked about syntax already, what do you...?

> Nothing has been said about how to address the pathology seemingly unique to Rust making it suffocatingly toxic. It's the only programming language in recent memory where people scour the Internet condemning people for writing software in any other language

Social aspects aren't immutable facts of language, but exterior ever changing things. It's like finding a game having helpful community. Only for it to become toxic later as player count increases. Same can be possible in other direction if Rust becomes more professional/boring.

And honestly, I don't care about arguing memes and one incident that was widely panned by everyone close to Rust.

I haven't seen the new Top Gun, but I do remember a scene from the old one where they took a polaroid camera along with them in the cockpit. I don't know how realistic that was, but it seems plausible. Certainly I know of tons of soldiers who carried personal cameras to Iraq back in the day. You'd think a U-2 would be pretty locked down as far as what pilots are allowed to have, but it wasn't exactly a super secret mission over a foreign country either.

It's an interesting question.

Yes, lots of infections, mostly mild.

There are 33,000 automobile deaths in the US per year.

You're more likely to die on the way to work than be hospitalized due to Salmonella.

If you do end up in the hospital, you are unlikely to die.
The thickness of the outer crust is easy to visualize. It ranges from a few minutes walk to an hour at city street speeds. Nothing close to 12,000kms.

If all the shells above you were self supporting you'd be right, you shouldn't feel any more pressure as you go down, if anything you should feel less force because gravity decreases.

However a shell of liquid is not self supporting, and at the size of a planet pretty much all material behaves like a liquid more or less. This means something needs to be pushing back for the layers of material to stay where they are. That is the pressure you feel, and you can easily show it will increase as you go down (with each layer supporting all the layers above it).

If anything the shell theorem makes this worse because it means the top layer can't pull back on any of the layers below it, it can only be pushed back through sheer pressure.
This is a direct consequence of keeping low interest rates while unemployment is low and inflation is high. It’s Macro 101. You should point your finger at the Central Bank and fiscal policies, not corporations that are acting entirely rationally in the face of good shortages and consumer purchasing power increases.

Inflation is increasing corporate profits, it is not driven or caused by corporate profits.

“We do know from US military officials that the balloon itself was around 60 metres in height and that the payload was around the size of a “regional jet” such as the Embraer ERJ, which varies between 26 metres and 30 metres in length. The payload is thought to have weighed around 900 kilograms.” [1]

Dear [Employee Name],

It is with a heavy heart that I gotta tell ya that we gotta let you go. It's nothing personal, it's just business, capisce?

I wanna say, youse guys have been great at what you do. You really know how to get into those systems and find all the weak spots. But, unfortunately, things ain't looking too good for our organization right now, and we gotta cut back on some expenses.

I wanna let you know that we appreciate all the hard work you've done for us, and we're gonna make sure youse guys get a decent severance package. We also wanna help you out in finding new job opportunities, so if there's anything we can do to help, just let us know.

Again, I wanna emphasize that it's nothing personal. Youse guys are some of the best in the business, but we gotta do what we gotta do to keep the organization running.

Take care, and good luck with your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

only good words from my side for Dan G.
That's mixing or "anonymizing" your crpyto proceeds. To make use of this crypto, you need to convert it to the relevant currency of the country you are in. If you are based in the USA, your only option is the few regulated exchanges which will ask "lots" of questions for this amount of money. It doesn't stop there, you'll have to answer lots of questions for the banks too as you'll withdraw this money eventually.

If you made it this far, then you start the laundering process.

You can't launder money with Bitcoin because Bitcoin is not well integrated with any country financial devices in any meaningful manner.
I was lucky enough to really learn *nix via Solaris where Vi was the only option.
I fully expect to see the second order downsides play out. My crystal ball says they're going to show up in two spots. First, entry level will find it harder to break in.

The jump of value for the employee when investing in an entry level employee with no skill to some skill is often quite a bit. This means that entry level will be given a wage that matches their skills rather than their potential skills over the period of time when they're assured to be working. The "we're hiring someone with low skills and hoping to train them up" will be harder to come by.

Secondly, the expectation for mid and senior devs to be able to acquire skills and knowledge on their own will be more of a thing. The front end person getting trained on the company account to learn Java for back end and then getting a new job six months later as a Java developer later is going to be in the mind of every manager. The solution to this is removing the "on the company account" part. You want to learn Java? Go ahead and do it on your own.

The perk of education accounts is going to be a harder thing to find.

And with that, my crystal ball has gone cloudy again.
I don’t know about it being unparalleled, but when I am in a terminal I don’t think twice before typing ‘vi’.
Do you think invasive therapies should be tested on healthy people who can't give consent? Because not doing that is sort of the base principle of modern research ethics.

Keto was the only thing that worked for me too. I found it a lot easier to just pick some days and say "I'm not eating anything on these days" than it was to constantly track and procure a perfect diet day after day without lapses.

Not sure who told you it was bad for you, I've predominantly heard it being touted as beneficial and longevity-increasing.
By "parameters" they probably mean float32s, and 65B of those is 0.25 TB of data - more than enough to memorize a 1.5T sequence of "tokens" (3 letter triplets?). This begs the question: are these models better than a fuzzy hash table?

It's really shocking seeing 15-20fps at times, with an incredibly simple ship, when I'm rendering at only 1920x1080 with an RTX 4080 and a Ryzen 9 7950X. I know it's early access, but it's really concerning that they thought it appropriate to launch it in this state, and at full price. Delayed 3 years, and still looks like it's at least another 3 years away from any of the features that I was excitedly waiting many years already for.
I drink medium roast Maxwell House or Tim Hortons and brew it in a pretty old (60's era) West Bend 9 cup percolator.

I put 1c of coffee in, and as cold of water as I can get, then plug it in.

The key to good, is to drink it within a half an hour of brewing completion, unless you unplug it and wait.

When I make coffee for folks, they love it, rave how its the best coffee they've had.
My first thought was in response to the title "How to weaponize the Yubikey", and the opening sentence, as if that's what gave the writer the inspiration. When the article didn't go there, I still thought that idea was also interesting.

All the downvotes since you posted your comment suggest that maybe some people then thought I had been criticizing the writer's opsec. But I wasn't, I respect the article, and I should've been more clear.
I think the core issue is that most people don't think of it as logically as you do.

As you stated the right thing to do is to look at interest rates and not overexpose oneself to the effects of inevitable rate changes.

How most people think about it: I can afford the monthly payment and it's cheaper than my rent. Let's do this.

Fortunately banking laws in Australia prevent banks from granting loans to people that they can just barely afford. However despite this most people still don't have any savings or disposable income (When compared to similar "rich" economies, Australia has one of the lowest rates of personal savings in the world.)

The result is that a lot of people will have to cut back and find their lifestyle significantly changed in order to keep their homes.

Okay, but I'm quite unsympathetic to trying to protect "I taught him to drive a forklift" with a non-compete. If there is substantial training involved you could require them to pay back a chunk of their training costs, but if it's incidental then I think it's just the cost of doing business.

On supermarket profits. I've noticed price-jacking has reached a new level. Seemingly in collaboration with the brands to deceive customers. For example, "50% off dishwasher tablets"... sounds good. But then you see the "normal" price they expect you to believe: $48 for a pack of 32 dishwasher tablets. That's AUD $1.50 per tablet / USD $2.23 per tablet. There's no chance dishwasher tablets cost anywhere near that much to make.
> The reason we sent a U2 Spy plane of all things after it is because it’s about the only plane we have still in service that can fly all the way up to 60,000 ft where the balloon was at the time

Additionally, flying high requires flying fast, generally.

The U2's huge wingspan allows it to fly much slower at these altitudes, and with much more ease and efficiency than say, an F-15 or F-22 as some other commenters have suggested being capable of shadowing the balloon at FL600+.
