Read your comment and parent. The quote from the article doesn't explain why the warrant owner matters, and you suggest the cap table structure does, which makes sense.

However, the structure has nothing to do with ownership of parts of that structure. Why would warrant ownership matter?
This may surprise you, but it's possible to be completely obsessed with your work (while you're working!), while also maintaining a work-life balance.
Fact: Everybody who drinks water will die.
Works if your parents live in areas where employment is abundant. Otherwise you'll waste years of your life lowering your lifetime earning potential. I have personal experience with this. In my first job, I had to move to a VVHCOL area and my salary couldn't cover my monthly expenses, even after I shared a room with a stranger. Eventually however, that opportunity opened up better paying jobs. My friends who stayed behind, unfortunately did not see such opportunities and the outcome 10 years down the road is very different. Obviously there's a lot more to long term success, but proximity to jobs is one of them.
> The plants are living beings, if they are allowed to behave like living beings without being crippled, perhaps the varieties will continue to exist naturally without said support.

Alas, there are too many humans for that. So, either you support the plants, or one of us has to give - plants or humans. Humans aren't known for giving in, which means slim odds for unsupported plants.
The assumption here is that Boeing is responsible for these.

What exactly does Boeing gain from murdering whistleblowers after the fact? At this point Boeing's reputation is already tarnished and they're already going to be under a microscope, so what does murdering whistleblowers even achieve?
One use case I have faced more than once are stuck processes in legacy build systems. For example, generating docs takes ages. Just killing the generator process will fail the build because the parent will notice. And since the build system is buggy/old, restarting the build will start from zero.

I wasn't saying it was wrong or not - I just said the two paragraphs were not inherently contradictory.
The articles I posted were for the NIH, not the FDA. They are two separate organizations, with admittedly some overlap, but still distinct.

The NIH researches lots of potential health claims and will publish their data as well. The stuff I linked was two examples that I found in like ten seconds, but there’s tons more. The NIH is much more of a research organization than regulatory, unlike the FDA.

I just felt it prudent because the person I was responding to was lamenting about not having a publicly funded research body to investigate potential health benefits for plants that is simply untrue in the US.

Scanned documents contain vital information. More often than not these documents are not searchable and if they are then a lot of information remains missing.

We built OCR search to showcase how you can extract data from scanned documents and make data within searchable.

A lot of new possibilties get unlocked with this information. For example, you can build AI CoPilot, RAG pipelines or power search within your application.
I'm not sure why you think the 0.5% figure is relevant. One of them was 62. Even if they were both 45-55, their risk of death would no doubt be dramatically higher than the mean. They were both whistle blowers, and not just ordinary whistle blowers, but whistle blowers in a high profile story. IIRC, at least one of them had been fired from their job in the last year. That's not average for that age group.
You could delay the tax collection above a certain amount until sale of the property. But I'm against allowing people to sit on valuable property while contributing little back to society. Get a reverse mortgage or move out.
I also don’t understand people on a tech forum not being more sympathetic about the economy’s troubles. Is tech not in a recession? That’s ludicrous. Tech is in a bad way.

You can draw up mechanical components in Autodesk Fusion, OnShape, SOLIDWORKS for Makers, or FreeCAD, and send STEP or STL to PCBWay or JLCPCB in China for manufacturing(note that export restrictions may apply if it's literal rockets or otherwise dual-use/controlled in nature).

PCB mounting outlines can be exported from above 3D CAD and imported to EDA tools such as Altium and KiCAD; KiCAD is fine unless you're doing DRAM or PCIe. Same PCBWay and JLCPCB takes your design, and optionally assemble PCB with parts for you.

That should take you to first 2-3 working units at ~$500 and up to few dozen beta units with zero initial cost and much inflated unit costs, and I guess beyond that involves significant human resourcing and networking problems outside of PoC hardware scope.

Fine, I'll bite. Here's the retraction statement, which I read in full. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2014148117

Some key quotes (emphasis added via italics)

> Despite this correction, our work has continued to be cited as providing support for the idea that there are no racial biases in fatal shootings, or policing in general. To be clear, our work does not speak to these issues and should not be used to support such statements. We take full responsibility for not being careful enough with the inferences made in our original report, as this directly led to the misunderstanding of our research.

> While our data and statistical approach were appropriate for investigating whether officer characteristics are related to the race of civilians fatally shot by police, they are inadequate to address racial disparities in the probability of being shot. Given these issues and the continued use of our work in the public debate on this topic, we have decided to retract the article.

Here's a random hit I found on Google in less than 30 seconds: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/annual-report-shows-syst.... Note that this is PBS, not CNN or MSNBC or other "liberal" media sources.

Here's two recent-ish studies from Harvard, which were also published: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/2019/11/...

Care to refute these, or do you just only believe data you've (mis-?)interpreted to match your existing world view?

It seems to me that, at a minimum, your assertion that "systemic racism doesn't exist" is a controversial one in conflict with the retraction statement above from that papers' authors, and by the general public at large. I also find it interesting that you've moved the goal post from "doesn't exist" to "doesn't exist anymore", and seem to have found one study to support your claim, which has been retracted and -- by the authors' own admission, is insufficient evidence for the claim you're asserting from their study.

I really don't agree with your assessment or disingenuous interpretation of the data on this issue. If you have any sort of scientific reason to convince me otherwise beyond "political correctness bad. you gotta read between the lines!", I'm all ears.

MRSA has some benefits to consider alongside its detriments. It is capable of surviving on surfaces so you could apply it to a surface that your target interacts with and be relatively confident that it will be viable when the target contacts it. It's common, so it's not some sort of exotic bio-weapon that screams cloak-and-daggers: you can get MRSA in a hospital even. I think it's pretty resilient too so once your target has contacted the MRSA simple hygienic practices wouldn't neutralize it like taking a shower or bath.

But as far as I know it is very treatable by knowledgeable medical professionals if caught early so in that sense it's not a guaranteed attack-vector and a poor choice for an assassination. Depending on a target who doesn't visit the doctor until too late, maybe less of an issue.

Howdy.

I've been doing computer stuff for the past 10ish years, but only the last ~2 years "professionally". I'm looking for some more rewarding work where I can make a visible impact and learn new things.

My preference is towards work that doesn't rely on me being in a static location, so remote or shift work that involves travel would be ideal.

The technologies I have listed are just some "top picks", as the full list is quite long. I also have strong fundamentals, so I'm confident that I can learn any new technologies I might come across.

If you want to know more about me, feel free to check out my [omg.lol page](https://kurtis.omg.lol/) or shoot me an email at the address listed above.
This is likely not an answer. Small-scale sustenance farming is not enough to support humanity at scale. (Without ag-industry methods, we're about 4 billion people past the planets carrying capacity)

Also, if that small farm is something you dream about, I strongly suggest actually working on a farm for a while. It is surprisingly not fun. I know "I'm gonna have a farm" is a popular escapist things for many folks in tech - it is for me as well, the fantasy is great :) It's just good to know what that actually means, and then deciding if you really want to do that. (For me, it means I have three plants on my balcony to keep the dream, and skip the full experience because I know I wouldn't enjoy it)

No, it's not. Seeds and even embryos are to DNA what a running piece of software (and especially, a Lisp/Smalltalk image) is to its source code: the latter stores only a fraction of the former.

And then consider that life is always built by other life, there is no bootstrapping from source code happening. Compare with Ken Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust", and realize that the most important bits about life may not even be encoded in the DNA, but rather in the runtime state that's passed "out of band" from generation to generation.
I guess what’s missing is the denominator. How many Boeing whistleblowers are there? It’s a nice little math problem.

Let’s say both of the whistleblowers were age 50. The probability of a 50 year old man dying in a year is 0.6%. So the probability of 2 or more of them dying in a year is 1 - (the probability of exactly zero dying in a year + the probability of exactly one dying in a year). 1 - (A+B).

A is (1-0.006)^N. B is 0.006N(1-0.006)^(N-1). At 60 A is about 70% and B is about 25% making it statistically insignificant.

But they died in the same 2 month period, so that 0.006 should be 0.001. If you rerun the same calculation, it’s 356.

Right. AI is artificial intelligence. But that's irrelevant; you're answering a question I (explicitly) didn't ask, and not the question I did ask. How is "algorithm" a more descriptive term (your words) than "artificial intelligence"?

> Does D get two copies of A's state? It's hard to come up with an intuitive behaviour.

C++ gonna C++, which means the language covers all the bases because some programmer might get mad if their use case wasn't accounted for.

C++ has something called virtual inheritance, wherein if subclasses B and C inherit virtually from A, any subclasses of both B and C will get one copy of A's state. Otherwise, they will get two copies: one from B and one from C.

This solves the problem of addressing concerns of all programmers w.r.t. the diamond inheritance problem, but makes the language more complex (and triggers my CPPPTSD).

> It is also extremely hard to do

It is surprisingly easy to do. You clearly come from stable families, but parents can hate their children for a lot of things: being different (everything from sexual orientation to not being social), being not like them, being exactly like them, not getting the grades they hoped for, not babysitting your 5 siblings because you had to go to school, not bringing in money, costing them too much money by existing, not being a doctor in a family of doctors....

More often, it's not the children who don't want to see their parents, its the other way around.
Spotify on CarPlay is great, the only thing that perpetually pisses me off (maybe an apple thing?) is that lists of items (playlists, podcasts, etc) are truncated in carplay, presumably as a safety thing? I then have to pick up my phone while driving, get into the spotify app on phone to find the playlist I want, which is obviously far more dangerous to do while driving than if the full list of items was just displayed in CarPlay.
If the intention is to convince whistleblowers #3 through #30 that they should find a healthier hobby? Then yeah, they don't really care if it's obvious to the peanut gallery, so long as it's obvious to any other witnesses.

More than likely the plant has a noticeable topical anesthetic effect - Orangutans don't have an explicit mechanism for passing abstract knowledge so the phenomena has to be explained subjectively. It might be a particular cooling effect, or something recognizable about the plant that it contrasted against an injury for which it didn't use the plant. Or it observed another ape that did have such a subjective effect and comparison - the Einstein of orangutans might have figured it out generations ago and they've been imitating a successful behavior since then.

The plant has been studied and analyzed, with various papers out there, like this one, but there doesn't seem to be anything recognized as effective for people (yet, more studies are probably needed) :

In previous studies, it was found that the Akar Kuning (Arcangelisia

flavonoids and tannins, besides that the roots also contain glycosides
and alkaloids, especially the isokuinolin group, namely berberine,
jatrorizin, and palmatin. There are also some minor alkaloids such
as columbamine dehidrokoridalmin, homoaromolin and talifendin,
and fibraleucin terpenes, and fibraurin has several activities such as
antifungal, antiasma, antibacterial, anti-tumor, anti-malarial and anti-
inflammatory.
Agreed.

Responding poorly maybe but all blame goes to Boeing. Pilots didn’t even know it existed and only got training and an override in 2021 from your link.
It's also a great excuse for abusing people.
Because as an investor in a company, you don’t want that company’s founders constantly distracted by a piece of shit investor who has a massive stake in their company.

Pretty straightforward.

Investors can create tons of havoc, and “bought equity from a bargain bin outside of a bonfire” is probably as good a warning sign as any.
No I get the impression you really want to say qualia, but don't want the backlash.
I get why people want things like this, but it's pointless to try to fight against a user-hostile OS that forces updates on you whenever they feel like it since any one of those updates can undo anything you've changed and introduce much worse.

I think if Boeing care's about their reputation so badly, they'd get out of the defense contractor business. But there's too much money to be made there. Silencing whistleblowers could be very beneficial to their bottom line:

* Protects their existing IP, as well as any classified information the whistleblower may have had access to.

* Prevents further leaks from the whistleblower, which could impact existing/future contracts, or the company's ability to win them.

* Sends a chilling message to future would-be whistleblowers.

* Sends a reassuring message to the defense industry: "we have a zero-tolerance policy for leaking information and your business is safe with us."

No, desertification is still an ongoing issue around the world. This is planting trees, building structures to hold water and adding clay or cellulose to the soil. So definitely no evidence of any benefit from CO2 slowing the expansion or creation of deserts.
I meant dead end in the sense that their genes aren't going anywhere. 90+% of home gardeners don't save seeds, and the few that do are almost certainly not preserving the strains they think they are since, most gardeners grow multiple varieties at the same time that are all getting cross pollinated. It was not meant to imply anything about the viability of the strain they are growing, many of which are fantastic heirlooms that have been around for generations.
A few things to note

- Postgres documentation is one of the well maintained database documentations. This also means that developers, committers ensure changes to documentations for every relevant patch.

- talk about bugs in postgres compared to MySQl or Oracle or etc databases. Nugs are comparatively lesser or generally rare even if you are supporting postgres services as a vendor with lots of customer. the reason is the efforts involved by a strong team of developers in not accepting anything and everything, there are strict best practices, reviews, discussions, tests, and a lot more that makes it difficult to pass to a release.

- ultimately, more easy is the acceptance of a patch, more the number of bugs.

I love Postgres the way it is today and it still is the dbms of the year and developers most loved database.

I wish we have more Contributors committers, developers and also users and companies supporting Postgres so that the time to push a feature gets more faster and reasonable easier with more support.
