When I was 19 and naive, I was interviewed for a desperately-needed summer job selling dictionaries door-to-door. The head interviewer wore a three-piece suit, gold watch, and an expensive haircut. He told me that as a demonstration of my independence and maturity, he wanted a commitment from me right then and there that I would accept the job and sign all the paperwork if he made an offer. If I wanted to go home and think about it or discuss it with my parents, that meant I was "immature" and didn't have the right stuff for the job.

Fortunately I had the presense of mind to see through that and walked out. When I got back to school, I found out that a friend of mine had worked for the same company selling Bibles in rural Tennessee; he hated it so much that he quit after a couple of weeks. He didn't make any money because the contract he had signed required that he stay for the entire summer before seeing a penny.
It is only contradicted by your perception of the life experience of others, which is guided by what you are already familiar with. You are also not psychic, but you draw conclusions about the minds of others that you cannot know.

The human mind is ambiguous, and you have created a comforting narrative to explain it. This is a very human response to the threat of ambiguity.

Large universities have large alumni associations with local chapters throughout the US. In states where custom plates are easy to get, those associates will often ensure their universities have their own plate designs.

> In 2005, suddenly, for no reason at all, an official press release appears, voiced by the head of the public relations department of Soltek, in which it appears in black and white: the Taiwanese company Soltek Computer Inc. stops mass production of motherboards and focuses all resources on the production of computer peripherals. After such a statement, analysts of the global information technology market unanimously stated that this statement is a death sentence for the brand and the company as a whole.

I feel there is some crucial background info missing - why would a successful mobo maker suddenly abandon the market?

> one (quite convincing) theory is that anything that can be achieved by a carbon-based neural network (eg. human brain) can also be achieved by a silicon-based neural network.

The author of this piece is a great example of the sort of professional victim that liberal America applauds, seeking yet another revolution of society and bureaucracy. She may labor against a *system*, but the hellscape of re-education and the constant surveillance of micro-aggressions based on another fun acronym seems infinitely worse than that system.

The underlying reality she seems to ignore is that the people who master and decide the details actually run the shop in very real ways. There is power there, if she is not too offended to see it.

I think there has been a huge cultural change in how people regard drink driving - I'm old enough (50s) when i was almost regarded as a subject for humour. Now I don't know anyone who doesn't take it very seriously indeed - particularly here in Scotland where the blood-alcohol limits are quite a bit lower for driving than in the rest of the UK.
I think usually the easy problems are just the "burn-in" time to solidify understanding, but there's usually a couple hard problems that take way longer to work through and those will teach you the intuition. Doing simple calculation is different than being forced to conceptualize the entire path from starting information to system to evolution to result.
The lawsuits went nowhere because the courts determined there wasnt standing in many of the cases. A party cannot get subpoenas to investigate without a case. No case == No Investigation or presentation of evidence.

So I would say its more along the lines that they tried to look under the rug many times but everytime they tried they got denied.

How is standing assessed? That there has been damages to the party. The party is claiming that there was voter fraud however most of the evidence they need to prove their damages require a subpeona which they need a court case to start gathering proof. Do you see the catch 22 there?

I am not a lawyer but presenting all your evidence before a trial seems poor form.
Yeah man talking is the same as murdering people and hanging them from trees. How can you be this stupid and still figure out how to register an account?

> everyone pays into disability. So everyone should be able to get their share when necessary

That's not how insurance works. Everyone pays with the expectation that few will need it.

Everyone gets disabled to one degree or another as one gets older.

So what we have is a Ponzi scheme, where early participants get benefits but the majority get screwed.

> Every "class" of disability is not equal and so we shouldn't treat them exactly the same

Agree 100%. You should be expected to take care of yourself if you can.
The tag is to indicate that the vehicle has paid the appropriate taxes for using the roads. If the tax on the vehicle is not paid then it should not be used on the roads.

Without the tag there is no way to enforce that without the police having to manually enter the plate number for every vehicle they see. Hence the tag: if the police see a vehicle without an up-to-date tag applied it is not legally allowed to use the roads since the owner hasn't paid to keep the roads maintained from the wear incurred by the vehicle while driving on them.

There is an argument to be made that the police could simply use a system that reads license plates up and checks the information automatically, but there are so many 4th amendment abuses/workarounds that the police already use it's hard to imagine much public support for such a system.

Breastplates are currently known as ballistic plates. They're just thicker, heavier and made of composites - because they have to take on high powered rifle bullets.

The modern fibre combat armor is better than gambeson and probably also many forms of plate. It's lighter and can take blades and even polearms better.

Delusional centrism.

One side : use our immense wealth as the richest nation on earth to provide basic services to all citizens by maybe taxing billionaires so they only have 1/10 b instead of 100.

Other side: if you're poor, it's your fault. Get fucked.

Laughable you can consider those two positions in any way comparable or equitable. Absolutely silly the enlightened centrism I'm seeing here. Gross and dishonest to even pretend like there's more than one viable non ecology destroying, democracy preserving political position in the us.

Stop obsessing over what marxists think of profit, consider what they want to do with the wealth they redistribute. Make all our lives better for literally zero quality in life change for the rich who we'd tax. Tell me who's going to have any discernible decrease in quality of life if wealth was capped at 1b or 10 vs infinite and I'll call you a silly little child.

Perhaps they should have said "information wants to be encrypted" Computers are getting better and better at cryptography all of the time. Applies the same logic behind "information wants to be free."

As an aside...

>the universe tends towards entropy.

To me, the paradox of entropy is that it represents chaos and yet it is an inevitable end state of the universe. It would seem that all efforts against the natural order are themselves a form of chaos. I question the distinction between the two.
There's a lovely variety of mosquito-borne diseases, most notably malaria and West Nile virus, which lead to a Real Bad Time.

I've been helping out a bit in a project for mosquito eradication in Hawaii, where avian malaria transmitted by invasive mosquitoes is threatening a number of endemic birds species with extinction.
Here is an idea:

The devs of a site (or an application) are in a video call, with screen sharing or whatever is useful, with a user who has accessibility needs and is using their site/program. A bunch of other devs sit in on it, muted, just learning. Then the devs throw some money in the pot and the user who did the testing gets paid for their time. Everybody wins.

Oh, and if all participants agree, the stream is made available for subscribers, and then the user gets royalties off that, too.

Does this exist? Can someone make it?
> Yeah and it almost always stops being fine.

Properly predicting if it will be fine or not is a sign of wisdom. But something like this is a fine place to use something where the complexity blows up. The sort happens in a clear place; early boot is a little hard to debug, but still. It's much worse when you put something N^3 in where when it blows up, the time spent is diffuse.
> for silly political reasons

An interesting side-effect of this is that the texas power providers make out like bandits during these surge-price situations. Much more than they would if they were connected to the national grid and were able to draw on it to ease peak demand. The incentives all line up for them to remain disconnected and to keep power-generating supply minimal to reap the profits that come with surge pricing.
I, too, miss silence. My tinnitus is in one ear and is like a roar of cicadas/grasshoppers with an extra harmonic an octave above that that gets louder as my environment gets louder. Then unfortunately stays at the elevated volume for a good duration afterwards.

I haven’t seen a stable intel laptop in about 10 years.

My sample includes Windows, Linux and Macs. My most recent intel mac was the worst laptop I’ve ever used, but it was the end of a run of machines that couldn’t reliably resume, had sub-2-hour battery life out of the box (advertised at 8+ hours), woke up to fry themselves in my bag, thermally throttled at random times, etc, etc.

Democrats are exceedingly good at letting Republicans do the painting.

In the real world, though, the good tools we already do have are being removed because of conspiracy theories. For example: https://apnews.com/article/voter-fraud-election-conspiracies...

> Earlier this month, Republican election officials from Florida, Missouri and West Virginia said they planned to withdraw from the group, joining Louisiana and Alabama. Former President Donald Trump, on social media, has called on every Republican-led state to leave, characterizing it as a “terrible Voter Registration System that ’pumps the rolls’ for Democrats and does nothing to clean them up.”
GNU Parallel is also based on perl, so the footprint is quite large.

GNU xargs implements limited parallelization, and is compiled C. This functionality is present within busybox, including the Windows version.

GNU Parallel will have much greater functionality, but it will not reach as far as xargs.

Surprisingly I can’t find any, I guess my fat fingers aren’t as bad as I thought. But now I’m angry after reading through a list of things I flagged.
So they’re asking for their wages to roughly keep pace with inflation, and maybe get slightly ahead of inflation, knowing their raises after they accept the job may be below inflation? Seems reasonable to me.

Workers want to be able to live as well as they did last year. I’m shocked.

According to "in 2013 dollars" [0], $80,000 today is worth roughly $68,000 in 2020 dollars. Inflation is kicking everyone's ass. If you haven't gotten a significant raise in the last couple years, you've probably taken a rather large pay cut.

Playing devils advocate, lack of evidence is not the same as lack of guilt.

It is entirely possible that voter fraud occurred AND there is no evidence that it occurred.

Again, I’m not saying that happened, but I think there are some common sense improvements that could be made to the voting process that remove any doubts.

I think Next has a great DevEx, but I'm just using it for some projects as a solo dev without a ton of traffic so perhaps there's some rough corners I haven't experienced yet.

I do think they are going down some risky paths where they do things like rewrite your code files depending on whether you're on server or client, and in general with "framework-defined infrastructure" where if you write certain functions the framework "knows" that it's supposed to be on the server or in a background job or whatever. But so far I've gotten the benefits without the drawbacks, though I might be jynxing myself.

According to the article's ending it's likely more complicated than just "wages going up".

It mentions that "Job seekers, or those who have looked for work in the previous four weeks, declined to 19.4% from 24.7% a year ago. That came as job openings fell by 738,000 to 9.58 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The likelihood of switching jobs fell, dropping to 10.6% from 11% a year ago, while expectations of being offered a new job also declined, to 18.7% from 21.1%."

If less people are willing and/or able to switch jobs, meaning there is less supply of labor, is it any surprise wages rise?

Kansas Bureau of Investigation takes lead following police raid of newspaper
It'd be nice if they included a link or even the title of the paper being referenced here to see the methods. It's hard for me to imagine how causation could even be investigated for this. You'd need to randomly induce inflammation on purpose to study participants, which seems like something you couldn't get through an IRB, nor would anybody consent to it if you could.

Otherwise, sure, you're telling me all of the factors associated with inflammation, i.e. illness, disability, injury, sedentary life, are also associated with people spending more time on social media than they might otherwise, doesn't seem like a revelation.

Assigning a term to the way someone dresses and cuts their hair doesn’t change anything beyond the individual level.
Finally a reason for a custom plate:

The explosion of full color images on special plates has also created some concerns for law enforcement’s use of Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), which automatically scan the plates of cars as they drive down the road or through tolls. Many police cars are equipped with ALPRs that scoop up all of the plates that drive by. A report by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators warned that high contrast backgrounds in these special plates can cause readability issues for ALPRs.
Maybe they shipped the installer pictures as uncompressed originals like they did a long time ago with some update I forgot the name of. But what resulted in a few MB update to be hundreds of MBs.
“Highest level ever…” since 2014 is such weasel words. What did wage inflation look like in the 1980s?

It’s also weird because the article seems to posture that wanting a higher wage for yourself contributes to inflation, but it’s the most reasonable thing in the world. If the news media reports that there’s inflation, people demand higher wages to account for inflation, and inflation increases.
My car's tax is an annual bill, as you describe.

That's not what the tags are for though, the tags are registration tags indicating your plate is active. In Massachusetts, it's $30/yr for active registration and the plate cannot be renewed without active insurance, etc.

So, if you fail to renew your insurance then you won't get a new registration sticker and your plate will eventually be easily identified as lapsed. The automated systems will see it immediately – and they do! But we still apply the sticker for manual identification.
There be another article titled "Landlords are demanding 20% more a year than two years ago" and that would explain a large portion of the American economy wonkiness.

In Massachusetts they do, but we still use those stickers as another form of labeling.

this number is also meaningless without knowing more about AFU losses -- they may be 1:1, or close enough to make the numbers look less impressive.

500 in a day is a bad day, but pales in comparison to losses in other large battles, or even in the opening days of the Special Operation. the real question is if the strategy of continuing to attrit Russian forces will lead to a breakthrough or definite results.
