I love the sculpt keyboard, however the function keys are tiny and frustrating (I use them quite a bit for maya) when some of the keys stopped working on it, I upgraded to the surface ergonomic keyboard which has a similar shape and built in numpad and took the riser that goes under the initial ergonimic keyboard and with the help of some velcro tape...

it's bigger on my desk which I dont love but I DO use the numpad and the F keys are much more usable, (I did create a cover for the FN key and the power off button to avoid hitting them by accident though)
Gotta say the irony is strong with a private equity firm called Ethical Capital Partners acquiring porn company MindGeek. I wonder who's fucking who the hardest?
"Large scale emergency preparations in the USA fell to the wayside long ago."

Not really. The preparations have shifted a little. It seems the government doesn't want to really encourage individuals to prepare the same way it did during the cold War, and to a certain point many individuals wouldn't care to anyways. I'd imagine a lot of that is to increase the reliance in the government and limit the number of people who have the resources to radicalize.

The government still stockpiles emergency response medications and has plans to distribute them. FEMA has all sorts of resources including COWs (cell on wheels) for communication. But really, communications are secondary for ordinary citizens. You'll still have emergency services who can communicate, hams (including RACE), and stuff like that. They're more worried about food, water, shelter, meds, and order.

On the personal side, we can just look at early covid. People were freaking out and panick buying. It wasn't a big deal for my family. We were raised to have about 2-4 weeks worth of food on hand and just rotate your stock as you buy new stuff. Whether it's a pandemic, storm, production issue, or attack, it's pretty good advice. It can even help if you lose your income suddenly.

How did you read that out of his response?

I think he just is asking how the dealer didn't notice the cheating.

I don't see any arguments their making. They simply stated/asked a question, then provided some information and a citation.

I'm baffled at how that is somehow an endorsement of cheating and that its okay to cheat if no one sees them?
Because of both poor career choices and later path dependencies, I did the move up in enterprise dev grind until three years ago.

>recommends flouridating salt

That is a scary recommendation. Would be very hard to avoid fluoride if restaurants, packaged food etc all used fluoridated salt
No, man. What you're talking about is not in scope for the argument he is making or what he is writing about. It's basically entirely irrelevant. His book isn't a comprehensive argument against religion, it is very specific and makes specific points, and people's personal anecdotes are simply irrelevant. They wouldn't be to many other arguments, but they are to his in that book.
How was it being abused by troll hordes enough to warrant that change? Only time I've seen videos with huge downvotes were for negative product sentiments (e.g. pay to win schemes), bots clearly compiling videos of product specs and reviews off Amazon and passing off as their own, or when the video was clearly clickbait. I spend an unhealthy amount of time on YouTube and I don't remember coming across videos that seem "abused by troll hordes" - okay, maybe for some products, but not widespread as you would lead me to believe.

Also, couldn't you have stopped people from rating your videos if you felt you were being targeted? Maybe if the search results on YouTube and Google were actually better than they were 5 years ago I'd buy into the downvote interfering with their system. The only good thing on YouTube is their recommendation algorithm, and I don't buy that dislikes would have altered that system. In fact, didn't that exist before this change?
About 15 years ago I worked at an e-commerce website and answered the phones. One day a guy called in, gave his name (which sounded vaguely familiar to me), wanted to do an order over the phone, and have it shipped to an address in lower Manhattan.

I thought the address was weird because it had no apartment number, it was just like 144 E 13th Street or something. So I asked if it was a business because we got a lower rate for shipping to commercial addresses and he says something like, “Uh no, it’s my home.” So I kinda knew he had to be somebody to have that address.

Then a lightbulb went off in my head and I go, “Didn’t you write Joe vs. the Volcano?” And it definitely caught him by surprise and he was very gracious as he accepted both my praise and offer of free overnight shipping.

Another time, a co-worker there got a “don’t you know who I am?” from Seth Godin when they refused to bend over backward to fix an order he placed.
I acknowledge your point but disagree with the logic behind it. Perhaps someone has died from a dog allergy but not any significant amount to affect society and the medical systems capability to deal with everything else. This was a one in a few generation pandemic and clearly a different situation. Why someone would expect a perfect public policy response to this I also can't imagine and lessons are hopefully learned from it. I think there was a lot of grift in there as humans are oft to do with bailouts, subsidies, contracts and when it got politicized it all went to hell so I can't defend that.

As an aside certainly some have died from aggressive dog breeds. I personally agree with the bans that exist in some municipalities on them to prevent a toddler from getting mauled. But I can see how some don't and that is a valid perspective.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.
There's an argument to be had that some antivax sentiment has roots in just not liking shots. They creep people out, and they hurt.

It's easier to be convinced that something is bad if you already have negative associations with it.
>No, certainly not. I want people to make their own informed choices.

These are two contradictory sentences. Wanting people to make their own informed choices unimpinged by government action while a virus with the transmissibility of COVID and a 100% fatality rate exists is definitionally being okay with the death of 99% of the human population. Like, that is the outcome so by definition if you're in favour of only dealing with pandemics through personal responsibility and you're saying that would be the case even with a virus with the transmissibility of COVID and a 100% fatality rate, then you are saying that the death of 99% of people in existence is an acceptable outcome. What I am asking is why you believe that.

I think it's a bit of an understatement to say that YouTube video content URLs are just obfuscated. I don't think this is referring to the youtube.com URLs of public videos, which are public so not "obfuscated", but the underlying URLs that serve the raw video data to the client. These are temporary and generated per-client.

While only paid content and some special videos use the serious DRM that requires browser extensions like WideVine, all YouTube videos require a pretty complex process to download.

Famously, yt-dlp has its own minimal JavaScript interpreter which is needed to evaluate the obfuscated JS script[0] that YouTube provides so the client can determine its actual video download URL. The end of the process does just result in figuring out an obfuscated URL but that URL is temporary and limited per-client. Here's the yt-dlp JS interpreter (though I don't know in which situations it actually needs to use it): https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_d...

You're free to your opinion. No one is forcing you to live in Illinois. I pay some taxes there, and I am very happy with their policies. Find a jurisdiction that suits your ideals. This is democracy doing its thing.

If they want someone other than you "average" taxpayer to pay for the books in question, let me know where to wire the funds. Knowledge is power. Censorship is used to control.

EDIT: I believe we've run this subthread to its conclusion. Best to you.
But as a fellow taxpayer, isn't it also my money?

And of course that wholly ignores cases where the books are donated or acquired for free from publishers, which often happens with libraries.

Taken to it's conclusion here you are saying that every citizen has veto power over the individual uses of any public resource, so, like, can I ban all pickup trucks from highways? We shouldn't spend public funds maintaining roads for them when they do significantly more damage than sedans.

I'm an old fart, and my details are: out of parent's houses at 20, out of school at 24, financially independent at 25 and married at 26. Never had kids though, at least none with 2 legs. Was 1-2 years younger than my cohorts, and there was a wave of delaying kids until parents were 40-ish that seems to have weakened. Whole lot of girls with older parents it seems.

The folks working on the L1 case (e.g. Robert Kennedy and his students in TN) estimate the shade would have to be approximately the size of Texas (about 700,000 km2, much smaller than you propose) and could be erected within 50 years.

Their plan is to make a lot of small devices rather than one large device. Just talking to the structure(s) is complex as there will be a huge noisy EM source right behind it.
"Alimony is essential in cultures and marriages where one person gets to make a career for themselves and the other does the household chores, takes care of the children, and so forth."

There are many cultures in the US. They way you describe it seems very old fashioned, which is not that common these days.

I'd rather see alimony removed. If you do that, people will choose arrangements that better suit them. If you leave this archaic system in place, it will promote less efficient decisions and continue to pose the other problems in the asymmetrical relationship you describe.
If you show up to a casino and don't play by its rules, that's fraud. If you show up to a chess tournament and use an engine to win $1 million, that's fraud, too.

There's an implied contract when you play a game that you are going to play by the rules.

This is why card counting isn't illegal, by the way, because it's within the rules of the game. Same with understanding the imbalances in a roulette wheel. See:

Those URLs are temporary and locked to the IP that fetched them. You can't effectively share the URLs since they're generated uniquely per-client. Not sure if this changes anything though.

edit: some quick testing confirms these URLs are temporary, but they don't appear limited to the IP that generated them. Your IP is embedded in the URL though, and you can't modify it without breaking the URL, so I'm guessing some IP limits kick in at some point.
A dead patient is probably not as profitable as a continously dying one. These vultures will probably try to keep these poor people alive as long as they have money to spend and then kill them off when there is nothing left to collect.
That argument might apply to those with a needle phobia, but not to someone who's an anti-vaxxer.
Couldn't you claim anything digital is obfuscated since it must be encoded/decoded somehow?
Perhaps we've just read different Stoics. I think it's clear from many scenarios in The Enchiridion that the aim is to not become fully emersed in emotion. Some examples that spring to mind:

- going to sporting events to be socially acceptable, but not allowing yourself to care about the outcome

- comforting a woman on the death of her child, and making the outward appearance of sympathy, not not actually sinking into sadness

I can't think of a single example of any of the Stoics I've read recommending becoming overwhelmed by emotion or experience.

You're conflating two different topics. One is the overall thread topic, the study where people with strong accents -- NOT just southern ones -- receive lower wage offers. The other is media portrayal of the south in general, which is what I was responding to. I explicitly said it was bad that people associate possession of a Southern accent with subscription to the despicable politics that are at play in the South. I also said that the media portrayal of the South as full of extreme right-wing politics, racism, and xenophobia was largely accurate, because the powers that be in the south subscribe to them, and they're voted in by the populace. Does that mean they are unanimously supported? No, but that didn't stop you from making bad assumptions about my intent. The fact is that the parts of the country where these things prevail in politics is also the part of the country where Southern accents are common. There is no causative relationship between these two facts. I'm not "implying" anything; I'm saying that people should not be judged by their accents AND media portrayal of the south as politically backwards is accurate ... and these two things can both be true. It's part of the guidelines of this site to avoid going out of your way to make bad-faith interpretations of posts here, and this pointless exchange is why.

I assume the Reddit reference is some kind of an attempt at a burn that would make sense to extremely online people, but since I don't really read Reddit I'm not going to bother to figure out what the hell you're talking about there.

What would you do if you see an observation outside of the interval?
Individual organisations / groups' practices vary dramatically.

From a friend who was involved in health care analytics decades ago, they'd frequently find that specific norms of healthcare practice depended highly on senior medical personal (e.g., a head physician within a department), and that you'd find major differences in standards both at different-but-comparable groups and at the same group following a major personnel change (retirement, moving elsewhere).

Another friend doing roving-doctor work at a number of smaller clinics and facilities described wildly different standards amongst physicians specifically regarding antibiotic prescriptions (my friend resisted prescribing them without specific indication, other doctors offered them as a default).

As with many other aspects of the world, what we observe directly is very much through a drinking straw (if you can find one of those any more): it's a very narrow view. This doesn't mean your experience is invalid or even infrequent. It does mean that it's likely not especially generalisable.

That said, what seems to change overall behaviours most is standards and norms being applied through policy, whether institutional (think Kaiser in California) or at the governmental level (government-offered services, etc.). Thought comes to mind that much of the US is now experiencing the negative aspects of that last, as with many tools, it can cut both ways.

Granted, the reason for that could be that through the years the greybeards that call the shots have weeded out (whether unintentionally or intentionally) any voices that are incompatible with their way of doing things. I agree that it does indicate the maturity of the community, but that could be because the community's values become more homogenous.

“If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?"

There was some work on using RFC-3987 but it went nowhere as there was contention about how to handle international domain names---do you convert to puny code or not? Seriously, that's where it got hung up on.
This is the conversation I think we’ve just had:

d: Represent resources only as standard hypertext documents.
h: Progressively enhance with nonstandard features. The traditional
affordances of hypertext will remain available—for example,
middle clicking to branch browser history.
k: But screen readers can’t middle click.
a: Branching is afforded by *some* interface though, right?
w: Not on touch screens.
a: Not even by using the touch interface?
w: Nope. You can’t expect everyone to know how to use it.

So we’ve established that many people are unable to effectively navigate the web using the native features of their web browser. It’s not clear to me how that informs the surrounding debate. Are browsers’ navigation features inadequate? In context that sounds like an argument in favor of websites implementing their own navigation.

Personally I’d prefer us to prioritize building a web of addressable resources rather than applications, and to the extent that our user agents aren’t meeting our needs, improve them rather than work around them.
Altium ended perpetual licenses in 2021. I have a perpetual license of Altium 21, but when my salesperson came back for Altium 22, they had stopped the perpetual licensing scheme. To put numbers to it, it used to be $5000 for a license and $2000/year for a support contract on that license ($7000 in the first year covering the license and the support), and it's now something like $3000 for an annual license with no perpetual option.

KiCad has been slowly getting toward feature parity with Altium 21, and I have had more fun with KiCad for hobby projects anyway. For those who tried it years ago, when I first tried KiCad in 2014, it was pretty crappy, but at some point between then and now they got their act in gear. The modern version is pretty close to a professional tool, and they are essentially taking feature ideas from Altium, so it's a pretty easy switch.
There is an entire section on safety.
