Then why don't they call politicians "super-politicians"?

Their purpose is to control the population by being lesser beings who feed off corporations and just push their message.
The "national security" argument was BS in 2018, and it's BS now. The only difference is now it's a real thorn in the side of the establishment in the US, because it's the only source of news and videos of Gaza that is not actively censored in the United States.

We have Russia Today in the US. We have CGTN. Both are okay because their viewership isn't sufficient to challenge the pro-Israeli propaganda put out by the MSM.

Desirable neighborhoods in Canada and US typically resemble pre-automobile orientated design type neighborhoods. These are on short supply.

So while there might be enough physical houses around the country/province/city, what makes a place desirable to live extends far beyond the walls of your home.
That would make sense in a world where the surrounding location is completely static, but generally as a town/city grows it's much more desirable - more work for better wages, more business opportunities, economies of scale, better education... A world that doesn't respond to that with increasing price doesn't seem sane. Imagine that you start with a house in the middle of nothing. 20 years later there is a major city around you - and the house should be cheaper than it was when there was nothing? What about new housing around your house, should it have the same nearly zero price too? What even is depreciation in case of housing - my grandmother lives in a 120 year old house and I'm pretty sure my grandchildren will live there too.
> It sounds like you aren’t old enough to remember life before 9/11

Incorrect. Focus on the argument.

> Slippery slopes exist

Sure. But concluding by arguing their existence is a literal fallacy.

Another slippery slope: food safety. Or our aversion to animal and child cruelty. Compounding social effects that build on themselves. That these exist isn’t disputed. That they exist also doesn’t mean they always manifest. In this case, there is zero evidence of compounding and every one of moderation through iteration. (Contrast Trump’s first efforts with the House’s first bill with what finally passed.)
Oh, interesting! Which ping have you got? Mine comes from the iputils-ping Debian package, which the man page confirms it's part of some broader iputils set of tools. I see there is also inetutils-ping which provides the same /bin/ping and /bin/ping6 commands, is that perhaps the one you've got?

For anyone wanting to replicate this "provides" query on Debian, I use `apt-file search /bin/ping` to list what packages have a file with that name -- this will also match `/usr/bin/ping6` (both prefixes and suffixes will match) but that was fine in this case. (If you just do `apt search ping` or something, you get a huge list of any package mentioning the word ping, which may be what you want when searching for something more broadly; and if you use `apt search /bin/ping` it comes up empty because it doesn't have file path data.)

Edit: now that I had looked up which utility it is, I figured I'd check the "is documentation enough" on how it finds which interface to use. It looks to me like it is `getaddrinfo` that decides it: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c#L...
There's plenty I'd like to improve but it's honestly in a very good shape. There's a reason enterprise picks Java - it's battle tested and there are enough quality developers around. Frameworks like Spring for webdev are top notch. Unless you've got a very specific reason to pick something else (python or rust or whatever) Java is the safe bet (along with c# but Java is an order of magnitude bigger I think).

It's just people taking memes seriously. Java is great and continuously improving.

It can be more complicated, yes. I assert that it usually isn't. You don't spend time worrying as much about what the contaminants are, you just drive them to zero.

But would a large-enough majority of songs be recorded with a multiple-of-5 BPM, that this app could presume the first record you play has a multiple-of-5 BPM, and be right 80+% of the time?

If so, then that could still be how it was done here. It wouldn't always work for the first record, but you'd be highly likely to get a "good reading" by at least the third one you try.

I won’t tell the whole story but the other day a 1st grader who came over to hang out with my kids punched me in the stomach with “wow you have so much food.”

The breakfast program at school is largely funded by Canada’s largest, exceptionally profitable grocery chain. But this year they’re radio silence on renewing the funding.

So I’d probably be working on making sure children are fed.

Wow is wavering speed. A constant turntable speed error (that this helps you calibrate out) doesn't produce wow.
Thanks for sharing. I really look up to people like you as I'd like to semi-retire around 55 too (13 years from now on).

I have a question for you: How do you assess your learning ability at 55? Let me explain -- I'd like to pursue studies in some Physics topics when I semi-retire (I can't do that now due to lack of time), but I'm not sure whether my brain is up to the job then. I know you are not studying Physics, but category theory is definitely non-trivial. How do you assess your ability to grapple with difficult theories?

A side question: do you exercise routinely, and if so do you think it contributes significantly to your health?

Thanks for any insight.

>I've never been questioned by hiring managers why I "lied" in a screening stage because the screening stage doesn't communicate with the interviewing stage.

I had one get mad at me because HR kept sending her my resume and she thought I didn't have the skills for the job despite having all of the skills listed as required and most of the ones listed in the 'nice to have' section.

I had another one try to embarass me by asking questions that I obviously had no experience with, even after that became apparent, because HR had listed a level 3 type job as a level 1 type job and I applied and got passed on to the hiring manager.
An interesting example of this phenomenon is the development of derelict neighborhoods. I used to live in an area which was re-developed from abandoned buildings and working class housing to a luxury playground. While supply was significantly increased, typical rents skyrocketed.
Yes, I think you could compare Openkoda with Odoo, but well... we are nowhere near being billionaires ;)

> There's nothing efficient about big cities. Hours of commuting by millions of people every day.

You have it backwards. Density makes mass transit feasible. You want to talk about commute times, spreading everyone out is going to magnify that.

Cities are efficient. At least, they can be. Busses and trains/subways work a hell of a lot better in urban cores than suburbs, and are effectively worthless from an efficient standpoint for moving individual people in a rural environment.

> assuming good faith all round

But why would anyone assume that? I think the position of many privacy advocates is that we're long past the point where it's reasonable to assume Google is acting in good faith in the best interests of its users. (Again, to be fair, this is true of more companies than just Google.)
Odoo's quest for monetization from open source has been a bit off-putting. I stopped using it a few quarters back due to that. Community and Enterprise are becoming too disjointed.
Probably Christian apologetics. It is clear to me that science is incompatible with atheism and supports the Christian worldview, but this does not seem to be widely understood.

Family first, of course. I already dedicate a ton of my time to them - everything from just basic "hanging out" with my wife and kids, to all the basic maintenance of life - budgeting, housework, driving people around, scheduling appointments, and so on.

With my day job gone, I have a huge stack of side projects and hobbies that I'd love to put more time into. I think the hardest part, in a world where I've regained the time I spend on my job, would be deciding which of those things I actually want to dedicate my time to (there isn't enough time in my life for all of them, sadly).

I'd definitely spend more time on fitness, reading, and playing and listening to music. I have plenty of programming related projects I'd like to work on too. I like making videos and writing blog posts, and I'd continue doing that - probably at about the same rate that I currently do, creating a writeup or a video when I find something cool to share.

Honestly, I'd spend my time about the same way I do now - just "more so." I guess I'm fortunate to be able to say that!
> sale must be personally approved by the President of the United States

No, it does not. Your link doesn’t even say as much.

It requires the President determine, “through an interagency process,” that the app is “no longer controlled by a foreign adversary” [1]. That language invokes the APA [2], explicitly rules out personal approval, and provides an objective endpoint that can be challenged in court.

This is at least partly historical. Early adopters got allocated IP space before it was apparent that it would be scarce. I seem to recall that MIT has an entire class A. I think the US military had a whole pile of class As as well. I haven’t kept up with this layer so I don’t know whether any of this has been returned to ease allocation woes, but I doubt it.
Objectively, very little probably. Non-java shops tend to avoid it because java codebases have a reputation for being relatively complicated. Java is a great language though and it may very well be the best cultural fit for the type of org that _actually likes_ salesforce. They also seem to be publishing a docker image, so it shouldn't be difficult for non-java orgs to integrate.

That doesn't follow. If the hottest temperature ever is 53.5, and the previous record was 52.8, then temperatures that cross 52 degrees don't sound "not uncommon" at all.

For comparison, the highest temperature in Denver history is 105 F (40.6 C). Denver gets 3-5 days above 100 F (37.8 C) in a typical year based on recent history. The total number of 100 degree days in Denver in the last 150 years is 105. The total count at 103 or above is 13. (source: https://www.weather.gov/bou/DenverSummerHeat).

If we regulate the Internet like we do the airwaves, "obscenity, indecency, and profanity" are now illegal.[0]

>It is a violation of federal law to air obscene programming at any time. It is also a violation of federal law to broadcast indecent or profane programming during certain hours. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines indecent speech as material that, in context, depicts or describes sexual or excretory organs or activities in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium.

>Congress has given the FCC the responsibility for administratively enforcing the law that governs these types of broadcasts. The FCC has authority to issue civil monetary penalties, revoke a license or deny a renewal application. The FCC vigorously enforces this law where we find violations.

It might be that I have a Phd in Physics and a long term interest in foundations, but I feel like these books are not very good. Often they emphasize the superficial analogies which physicists use rather than the substantial qualities of the theories.

For example, emphasizing spacetime curvature is, in my opinion, kind of a weird way to talk about the actual substance of general relativity (universal coupling of gravity, futility of trying to describe the world with any fixed four dimensional coordinate system). His quantum mechanics book has similar problems. When I try to explain physics to my young child I always try to get at the essence of the ideas, not the superficial pictures.
“University of Oxford chemist Peter Atkins has made the digital version of his book Concepts in Physical Chemistry free to download.

First, you did not answer my question. Let that be clear.

A protest is not a hostage taking situation, and when you treat it as such, don’t be surprised when laws that apply to all of us all the time are sometimes applied to your protest. We’re not talking about quelling speech here. We’re talking about illegally seizing property and buildings and refusing lawful orders to vacate until forceful eviction is the only way out.

This is just basic civic society stuff. You don’t have a right to occupy property and block others from using it without the consent of the property owner any more than any of us have a right to enter your home and kick you out and refuse to leave until our demands for a free Tibet are met.

It was bipartisan from the political establishment, not actual people. [1] That poll is the most recent available (this month). Democrats - 42% in favor of a ban, republicans - 65% in favor. Both those numbers are also on the decline. The poll also did not break it down by age where this question is also extremely polarized. Younger people tend to be highly opposed to a ban, and older people tend to be more in supportive of a ban, with elderly being highly in support of it.

In other words OOP can be great for tooling, but doesn't make much sense for what R is meant to be used for -interactive analysis- in every day work.

R's mess of OOP systems works great, S3 is "fine" for just dispatching 'methods' based on attributes, one doesn't even know it's happening in base R ALL the time.

R flexibility also makes it possible to build your own class system. i.e. modern ggplot2 has its own ggproto object system.
The median pre-tax household income in Berlin is €43,572, not everyone gets to be on software engineering pay scales: https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/salaries-in-germany

But even if the median income were €100k, the €400k level was around the cheapest I could find that you could actually live in and wasn't a weekend house, or a reverse-mortgage you'd only get to use when the seller died, or a building opportunity with no land, or they're rented out and as Germany has fantastic protection for tenants you are not going to move in etc.

If the standard is 4 years, even then you'd be excluding 50% of the households from ownership at €100k/year and €400k minimum prices. As is, €43k/year is closer to 9.5 years income still not being enough for 50% of households.
