To me, "offshore" means acquiring developers from international shops that bid for US contracts, whereas hiring internationally just means hiring outside the country on an individual basis.

Speaking very broadly here, my impression is that those offshore development shops bidding for US contracts often don't have the greatest working conditions. Those talented enough to know their worth and find better options will do so if the opportunity presents itself, which could mean either applying for international positions on their own or immigrating to where the jobs are. Thus there's an outflow of talent away from those offshore companies.
The Soviet Union mandated certain types of housing, so yes, the situation is nearly the same.

> Well, thanks to AI being able to learn and determine where brush strokes would land, we take advancements from 3D printers and your desktop painting rig picks up a brush and paints it just as the artist would have.

Good luck convincing enough people in the art community to give you data on their process so you can do this. There's definitely enough out there in things like PSD files but the AI community has been so rude and antagonistic to art communities that most of them have a kneejerk hate reaction on any mention of the technology, and rightfully so. AI users and companies have been gleefully abusing artists from day 1.

I don't see how Meta and Google weren't completely predictable, and I don't see how Canadian media benefits from getting shut out. I am so confused.
Zero sympathy. Any passenger who survived such an incident should render the investigation any help they ask for. An airliner suffered a major fault ... and everyone walked away. That only happened because of decades of safety culture.

Reasons they may need the bags: Possible interference (bombs, sabotage and such). Weight and balance of the aircraft. Possible fires. Possible crash-related evidence in those bags (ie bags exposed to G/chemicals/fires etc). There are any number of scenarios where the bags might be useful to the investigation. Until those are ruled out, and ruled out properly though the process, the survivors can wait.

Just be glad the FAA isn't confiscating clothing. They can do that. In cases of fire or chemical exposure they very well can confiscate clothing that might contain useful evidence. In some circumstances even blood samples could be taken (chemical exposure etc). Got a cellphone video of the landing? It is in their power to take that too. Planes are as safe as they are because crash investigators have carte blanche. Passenger inconvenience should never trump that proven process.
> Also god damn I hate this supreme court for overruling their own decisions. Even the ones I would personally benefit from. This is going to ruin the court in the long run for partisan bullshit. If going to the court twice for the same issue can get you different decisions then the ruling of the court means absolutely fucking nothing. You might as well just continue your affirmative action program because the next time the court makeup might be different and they'll change their mind again.

> This was already decided forty years ago

If the US Supreme Court never overturned its decisions, these decisions would still be in force:

- laws criminalising private consensual same-sex activity are constitutional (Bowers v Hardwick, 1986–overturned by Lawrence v Texas in 2003)

- miscegenation laws do not violate the 14th Amendment (Pace v Alambama, 1883–overturned in part by McLaughlin v Florida in 1964 and fully by Loving v Virginia in 1967)

- legally enforced racial segregation does not violate the 14th Amendment (Plessy v Ferguson, 1896–effectively overturned by Brown v Board of Education in 1954)

- racial segregation in public schools is constitutional (Cumming v Richmond County Board of Education, 1899–also overturned by Brown v Board of Education)

- states have the constitutional right to ban racially integrated private educational institutions (Berea College v Kentucky, 1908–also overturned by Brown v Board of Education)

- it is constitutional to execute juvenile offenders who were 16 or 17 at the time of their crime (Stanford v Kentucky, 1989–overturned by Roper v Simmons, 2005)

- it is constitutional to execute the intellectually disabled (Penry v Lynaugh, 1989–overturned by Atkins v Virginia in 2002)

- it is constitutional for public schools to force students to salute the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, even if they have a religious objection to doing so (Minersville School District v Gobitis, 1940–overturned a mere three years later by West Virginia State Board of Education v Barnette, 1943)

- labor laws which impose limits on working hours are unconstitutional (Lochner v New York, 1905–never explicitly overturned, although a series of 1930s decisions effectively did so)

- minimum wage laws are unconstitutional (Adkins v Children's Hospital, 1923–overturned by West Coast Hotel Co. v Parrish, 1937)

- child labor laws violate children's constitutional right to work (Hammer v Dagenhart, 1918, and Bailey v Drexel Furniture Co, 1922–overturned by United States v Darby Lumber Co, 1941)

If the principle "the Supreme Court should never overturn its past decisions" was accepted–the US would be a very different country today. Even if you only want to apply that principle to "established precedent" – Pace v Alabama was law for over 80 years, so if that principle was seriously followed, interracial marriage bans might well still exist in the US today.
The only obtuse one is you. Just because, say, “50 Shades of Grey” is not in an elementary school’s library does not make it a banned book, and no sensible person would advocate for that to be there in the first place.

A “banned book” connotes censorship, and it is not censorship that a child’s library does not stock every book imaginable. If the government bans it in some way, then that would be a banned book. However, if it is available through retailers, how can you call it a “banned book”?

> I don't know what other cities look like.

Vancouver's downtown has a lot more residential than most cities and it seems to have fared much better that SF and other places.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/translink-ri...

Though even here, we can see that transit recovery is slowest in the downtown area and strongest in other parts of the region.

I'd agree with your analysis that this is a tech and wfh related problem where SF is particularly hurt hard.

In the area of this regional map of strongest recovery are the warehouses where working people need to be on site to do work.

I'm sure there are at least a few camera placements that would be worthwhile.

To answer your earlier question, not to split hairs, but I disagree with "always". You can inadvertently increase risk when trying to reduce it, or unwittingly prioritize things that offer less bang for your buck. That's why risk analysis is important.
That is a valid argument against AA if you can provide the data that shows that only a minority of AA beneficiaries are descendants of oppressed blacks and that therefore the net benefit of AA on oppressed communities isn't worth the cost it puts on society. If you can show that, society benefits because it can scrap a nonworking program and replace it with one that works.

My point was that simply saying there is a cost for programs that benefit black communities is not an argument against those programs. There is a cost to all regulations. We should keep the ones that are net beneficial and discard the ones that aren't.

Typically, the argument against these programs is about fairness, which you might call a "crybaby argument." Life isn't fair. These people should have learned that when they were three. The only correct arguments relating to policy are about whether they benefit society.
He may not have gotten it directly from Boeing. He may have gotten it from any other aerospace mfgr and just claimed/conflated it was Boeing.

Most likely, he got it from one of the small herd of composites recyclers who got it from Boeing; so it was from Boeing, but not directly. The path would have been something like [Major Carbon Prepreg Supplier] -> [Boeing] -> [sit in freezer for 19 or 25 months] -> [Recycler] -> [Oceangate]. Thus, "I got a great price on this outdated material from Boeing.", and Boeing has no clue or legitimate involvement.

Boeing is also going to want to stay as far away from this as possible, even tho donating/selling known outdated material, specified as such, is perfectly fine. They're just coming out of their own huge issues.

> Others were books that sounded religious in nature (e.g., I recall a book from the Christian publisher, "Zondervan") which is understandable for U.S. public schools.

Is it understandable? I don't think I'd be alone in saying that I'm pretty uncomfortable with a book being banned from a public elementary school library just because it has a religious angle. I don't think it's a reasonable interpretation of separation of church and state to say it would require outright excluding religious books from a library.

Mishandling client funds will do it. Mishandling the client themselves? not so much.

In the 2018-initated Florida federal litigation involving one of the con-artists pretending to be the creator of Bitcoin his latest stunt to avoid paying what he owes is having his wife roll up and claim to have actually been the true plaintiff all along and attempting to file motions to dismiss the real plaintiff's attorneys and kick the real plaintiff out of the case.

The con's attorneys are now up for contempt. Is it for their involvement in this farce pretending to be both sides of the case? No. It's because they filed a required debtor-information form attorneys eyes only (and persisted in defending it when challenged) both in clear violation of the standing confidentiality agreement and when the only information on it had already been testified to by their client in open court. They'll probably get free of it too, suffering nothing more than the other sides costs they created.

Attorneys can make a mockery of the legal system and not get disbarred. It's rare for them to get in serious trouble for anything other than a fairly narrow set of bright line violations.

I knew an attorney that was disbarred after having an affair with their client's spouse. But the disbarment wasn't due to the affair, its because they used client funds to finance it.

Ah you have it backwards - there was already the Tutsi ethnic group, but the Belgians found it easier to identify them as Tutsi by number of cattle etc.

"Prior to the arrival of colonists, Rwanda had been ruled by a Tutsi-dominated monarchy since the 15th century."

"Rwanda was ruled as a colony by Germany (from 1897 to 1916) and by Belgium (from 1922 to 1961). Both the Tutsi and Hutu had been the traditional governing elite, but both colonial powers allowed only the Tutsi to be educated and to participate in the colonial government. Such discriminatory policies engendered resentment."

"When the Belgians took over, they believed it could be better governed if they continued to identify the different populations. In the 1920s, they required people to identify with a particular ethnic group and classified them accordingly in censuses."
I get the hate or suspicion. I just see it as one more level of abstraction.

I looked it up out curiosity, it's over 2 miles along a major road that crosses a major freeway. There is a suburban route that has a dedicated bike lane crossing of the freeway (101). Yikes.
A few of points. The first is “competitors existing” and “practical competitors” existing are not the same, and that is relevant in antitrust law. Imagine a hypothetical world where there was one corner store, and there was Amazon. In said extreme world there is a “competitor”, but in practice there isn’t.

The obvious counter “create new stores” runs into the next issue: Amazon could use its clout to prevent or limit creation of new competitors - there are many ways to do this (see MS monopoly case) - like requiring suppliers to prefer it over other parties, conditioning prices for some goods on discounts on others (“windows is the default/only install on all your machines or we will charge you a higher price for it”)

Then there’s using funds from one place you have significant dominance to to undercut (including running at a loss) in the new industry - I’m much iffier on exactly at what point this becomes uncompetitive as it seems a fairly common thing for many companies to do.

The important thing to note in the above is specifically pricing related, it’s about using market power to control the ability of competitors to actually compete (how can you compete if Amazon has ensure the best price you can ever get for any product is >= to the price they get)

Now it’s also important to realize antitrust regulation is not about producing the cheapest product for the end user/consumer, it’s about ensuring a fair market.

IIRC the Sherman act did not touch on consumer pricing, but rather producer prices: standard oil had a functional monopoly on the market so would tell people who found oil what they would get, regardless of the amount, value, or final sale price of the oil. So consumers may have been getting “cheaper” goods, but the people selling oil were getting screwed.

That’s where I’m going to guess antitrust is going to be targeting Amazon - just based all the stories over the last few years of them screwing third party sellers - for such sellers they _could_ sell directly (and many do) but if you aren’t on Amazon you essentially don’t exist, then Amazon has been found to duplicate successful products and sell them cheaper than the original product. I have no idea how prevalent that behavior is, but that sounds awfully like the kind of thing that would be subject to antitrust concerns.

In other words:

It's understandable that when confronted with an irresponsible behaviour of one particular person we tend to blame that person for being irresponsible.

But the fact is that there will be a given number of irresponsible people around.

It's also irresponsible to set up rules in such a way to make it more likely that some irresponsible people will do irresponsible things. Especially when there may be other rules that could reduce the chances.
The best thing I ever did was have a personal project that I've been on for 7 years. It forced me to design in an intuitive, tested, structured way. Because I will come back to an area in a few months and not know what the hell is going on.

Now I'm thinking that default Github flow is almost there.

> i can still review and apply patches from my local inbox

`git fetch` gets me all the code from open PRs. And comments are already in email. Now I'm thinking if I should put `git fetch` in crontab.

> retransmit logic is built in so that the user can still fire off the patch and go outside

You can do that with a couple lines of bash, but I bet someone's already made a prettier script to retry an arbitrary non-interactive command like `git push`? This works best if your computer stays on while you go outside, but this is often the case even with a laptop, and even more so if you use a beefy remote server for development.
Gawd, I hope that is true, because there is absolutely zero reason to screw into that hull for something like mounting electronics. I have adhesives in my shop that are something like 7500 Lbs/SqIn strength. Just mount a screw block anywhere you want of any material you want (I'd use structural foam), then screw into that, and it'll be as secure as you want.
On one hand, I confess that I'm not familiar with exactly how the tech works, but this absolutely sounds like cope. I've literally never ever ever ever seen open source get beat by "proprietary" in this regard. We shall see.
Measuring pixels on the chart it looks like BART is at 40% of pre-Covid levels (so down 60%). Public transit ridership nationally is at 65% and the MTA is at 70%.
I couldn't see any information other than 'Android 13' on the page -- how long do Asus tend to support their devices for? Sibling comments about LineageOS do give me some hope that if I buy this for a family member that tends to keep their phones for 5-10 years, it might actually be able to go the distance.

Am I the only one who feels that a device this powerful and expensive lasting 2-3years (or less!) is crazy? Especially when it's a 'software' limitation.
>There is a concept from polling called a "random sample"... It's like taking a sample of a swimming pool, to check the chlorine levels.

And maybe the edge of the pool closest to the person taking the sample is the deep end where mostly adults swim, but if they walked a bit further and took the sample from the shallow side with the babies and toddlers they'd find out the water is actually 50% piss with more than trace amounts of feces mixed in as well.
