> beating up criminals in my neighborhood isn't a "feeling" of security it's actual security

You’re describing police beating up suspects. Few people have a problem with police beating up criminals, our prisons being Exhibit A. Police beating up suspects leaves all of us less safe, because now anyone who looks like a criminal has an incentive to not cooperate with law enforcement, and be prepared for violent encounters with the state, which means more accidental violence with non-state persons.

The parent I think is getting two things mixed up.

[[ $var == "" ]]

works as you describe and as expected. What the parent is talking about is when you have an invocation like

my_program $opt
my_program "$opt"

Which when empty will evaluate to

my_program
my_program ""

respectively.
Only as unportable as bash. Which is probably the most portable shell.

I'm also unsure as to why you are getting drives back at all, any of your customers should not have any kinds of storage devices leave their site intact. At least that is the standard over here in Europe for healthcare and other industries dealing with sensitive data.
Well, there is 'Feersum Endjinn' which you have to tune your ear to the language. 'Excession' had a lot of talk between Minds/Ships which was quite dense.

Also there is a lot of descriptions of hyper-advanced weaponry, drones, etc - even though I enjoy the books, it can be a bit much sometimes.

Of course, most are more readable in the original Marain :)

Would bypassing the water filtration system for a few days a month help with this?
I'm fully aware of how it works. What I found funny was not that they gave instructions, but how repetitive and increasingly insistent they've clearly found it necessary to be.
Cheap filters don't do much and the more expensive ones don't remove chlorine.

FYI, most of the time when you read an article that reduces complex functions to “methylation status”, it’s pseudoscience.

Methylation is a real biological function, but it has been co-opted by alternative medicine peddlers as a convenient (though incorrect) explanation for everything. It’s part of a new wave of alternative medicine that takes real scientific concepts (methylation, glutamate/glutamine cycles) and tries to work backwards from symptoms to assume the status of various cycles in the body.

One key feature of this pseudoscience is that it often has dual explanations for everything such that everyone will identify with it. For example, when they say that Vitamin B12 can make some people feel better but some people feel worse, they’re setting up an explanation that everyone will identify with: If you give someone a supplement and ask them to see if they feel better or worse over the coming hours, days, and weeks, eventually they’ll have a good or bad day and assign it to the supplement. The methylation pseudoscience people capitalize on this effect by claiming that all of their interventions will either worsen or improve people’s symptoms, which creates confirmation bias everywhere.

One of the easiest ways to debunk the methylation alternative medicine pushers is to examine how almost nobody claims to actually recover from their treatments. It’s always a back and forth of thinking they’re taking too much B12 or folate or other supplements because they’ve been conditioned to believe that all of their symptoms are traceable back to methylation.

To be clear, B12 and/or folate deficiencies are real and measurable conditions that should be treated if present. However, the idea that you can modulate all of the body’s processes up and down by taking varying levels of B12 and folate supplements is pseudoscience.
From what I've seen, the AI safety arguments basically rely on assuming that the singularity is not merely real, but guaranteed: that we will create a full-fledged general AI, that it will be smarter than us, and that it will be fully capable of upgrading itself to be far beyond our control before we have any ability to prevent it from doing so.

Every step of this relies on assumptions that are not merely questionable, but unfalsifiable.

Whether AGI is possible or not, regardless of anyone's personal opinion, is as yet unprovable and unfalsifiable.

Assuming that AGI itself is possible, there is no way to tell whether we, as humans, can create an intelligence that is "smarter" than we are.

Assuming that we can create an AGI that is "smarter" than we are, there is no way to determine whether it would be able to upgrade itself to become exponentially smarter than that, and beyond human understanding and control.

If you have a hard time coming up with arguments against these things, maybe it's because they're fundamentally unfalsifiable, which makes them useless for trying to build any framework of understanding on.

Having lived in LA county when I was younger (and poor, nearly homeless, etc.), I've seen plenty of gang-like behavior from the police: I doubt this article is exaggerated at all.
Everyone gets to have their own favorite fear of law enforcement, but corruption in law enforcement is bad--everywhere.

Cops killing cops and their families in gang initiations and power struggles makes for nice FX shows, but it is bad for communities, no matter what race the cops are.
> This is just an example, obviously you can write this better in React.

That's nice, but that such people exist is not remotely evidence that they were involved.

Even if you buy the German newspaper's six men in a yacht theory, why weren't they caught? There was apparently a military exercise in the area at the time they would have placed the bombs.

On balance, capitalism is the most net positive feedback system ever created by humanity.

Cooking inside is messy. Mostly from the burnt particles of food & grease that fill the air. Installing and using a vent helps.

The vent above my gas stove is powerful enough there’s a relay which opens a baffle to let in outside air into the HVAC return air ducts, which automatically activates when I turn on the vent, to ensure negative pressure isn’t potentially backdrafting a chimney. This was required by the State building codes for installing gas stoves, which were developed based on AGA research.

You do know that cops are only supposed to arrest people, right?

There's no "beating up" as part of the official justice system, even in the US.
Mycobacterium are no joke.

I got very severe sinus infection post sinus surgery from a incredibly rare Mycobacterium. (as far as I know I'm the only person in the world documented to have this bug in my sinuses)

It took almost 9 months to beat, 6 months with 3 types of antibiotics going at once.

The aggressive antibiotic caused severe neutropenia and put me back in the hospital for 16 days.

My infectious disease specialist basically equated treating mycobacterium infections similar to chemo.

Glad this episode is behind me, but never forget that tap water is not sterile.
No, they're just another group of incompetents.

> Jason Zabala, an inked Regulator, is responsible for the deaths of at least two people and cost the County $4 million.

...

> In October 2011, an on-duty Zabala ran a red light and was involved in a collision. Sonya Benton, 49, was inside the other car. The impact gravely injured her spine, causing long-term damage and prompting a fusion surgery. At the beginning of the case, the County’s counsel asserted that Benton’s injuries weren’t serious and the surgery wasn’t necessary. The case settled for $80,000 before trial. Taxpayers picked up the bill for her award and everyone’s attorney fees. Zabala remained a deputy.

...

> The deputies later claimed Laffitte had a gun. However, Zabala said in his deposition that he never saw a weapon on Laffitte. A handgun was recovered from the scene, but it tested negative for Laffitte’s DNA, according to court documents. The testing did conclude, however, that at least two other individuals handled the gun. Shortly after the incident, Cotton said in a press conference, “I want revenge for my brother’s death. There will be no justice in Los Angeles until my brother’s murderers go to prison… I want them jailed for killing my brother and brutalizing my family.”

> That didn’t happen. Laffitte’s family settled the case for $1,500,000 before it went to trial. Taxpayers, of course, footed the bill. But the deputies who killed Terry Laffitte were never charged, and it does not appear they were disciplined. It appears as if Barrios was still a member of the department as recently as 2019. Horrifyingly, Zabala went on to kill another man in front of his family.

Good news for Nokia and Ericsson.

Agreed. Ice machines aren't supposed to depend on chlorine in the water to keep them clean. Commercial ice machines need to be cleaned and sanitized every six months in normal settings, and you'd probably expect a hospital to do it even more frequently.

The article says:

> Although hospital records indicated that the machines had been maintained and cleaned per the manufacturer's instructions, the researchers noted visible bacterial biofilms on the inside components of the machines.

But it seems like a hospital should have its own standards for cleaning and disinfecting, not relying on manufacturer cleaning instructions for a non-medical device being used for patients with highly elevated risk of infection.

What is with all the hatred for Chlorine? Putting it in water is one of the great lifesavers, right up their with cooking and antibiotics. I hear people tell me about its health impacts, that it is "going to give cancer" and other crazy stuff. Well, as a former competitive swimmer, if chlorine does any harm whatsoever I am a write off. Having soaked in chlorinated pools for thousands of hours, and no doubt also drank in a not-small amount of that water, any hypothetical health impacts would have ended me decades ago. Stop filtering it.
It’s almost as if the police are a gang that society allows to have the ability to legally steal from other gangs in return for enforcing some laws.

For those downvoting me, care to offer any counter? Even if you have no experience in this you should be able to tell from first principles you cannot get rid of gangs but you can have one gang to rule them all.
Money burned on these games (by making e.g. home prices in good school districts higher because people are competing with money that ought to be going to retirement) isn't helping anyone. It just hurts responsible savers because their and their kids' opportunities & QOL suffer relative to those who pick "defect"—unless they also sacrifice their retirement.
It's a risk if you don't swap the filter regularly as recommended by the manufacturer, and everything downstream of the filter (tubing etc) is at elevated risk for biofilm buildup when the filter is stripping out chlorine/chloramine.

It's an even bigger risk, generally, with pitcher/reservoir type systems (e.g. Brita or Pur) that require manual fills, given that they get a lot of environmental exposure. If you use a Brita pitcher for a while and then leave the filter media and pitcher somewhere at room temp for a couple weeks, you can often see evidence of fungal/microbial growth popping out of the bottom of the filter cartridge. It's pretty gross. I've also had a relative end up in the hospital with a pretty severe amoebic infection, which investigators traced back to her Brita filter cartridge she had neglected to change for some time.

It’s a problem that’ll get a lot worse as being a police officer was already a shit job that has gotten much worse in recent years. For a gangster the fringe benefit of being a police officer makes a lot of sense. I agree with Bernie Sanders on the point that cops need better pay to go along with higher quality controls.

Governments are way too comfortable with gangsters/mobsters, many of whom are regular donors to politicians. These gangsters are famous and everyone know who they are and what they do yet they only rarely get arrested let alone charged with anything. And in the rare cases they do get charged they walk. The way I see it the gangsters are paying govt for the privilege to rob the people unmolested which is another way that govt vicariously robs the people. I consider it a more violent arrangement and that govt has with big companies where big companies rip off people and get away with paying fines.
