It wasn't so much "idealism" than it was the fact that social media was directly responsible for the election of Barack Obama in 2008, the US's first Black president. It also gave him a significant advantage in 2012. Nobody wanted to touch social media out of fear of putting future Democrat POTUS candidates at a disadvantage.

Notice how, in 2017, it's only after everyone starts post mortem evaluating the 2016 election that the "idealism" of social media begins to sour.

They aren't charging what requests actually cost to users. BYOK users constantly mention it's more expensive than their native plans.

Seems a bit early to assume that as they turn the screws to fix the cost situation, free users will be the only ones left upset.
Yeah, you'd need to include some kind of correction term for an A > B situation.

Building value can be negative, if the costs of renovation or demolition would be greater than the value of the land.

But building value could also be positive, but less than the cost of construction. Basically "It works fine and it's worth something, but if you built it today, the value you could sell it for wouldn't cover the costs."

Basically you need to design a formula for a requirement something like: "We need to proportion the improved land value between the building and the unimproved land. The building 'should get' 10% - 90% of the value. We start with cost, if that's near the middle of the range we accept it, but toward the ends of the range we modulate it (either with hard cutoffs or softer asymptotic blending)."

Then you need a separate case for where the building is negative value. In that case you could probably get by with an inspection and cost estimates for renovation / demolition.

You could also discount a building based on its age, say 1% per year up to 70%. This represents the fact that Joe's house would cost $200k to build today, but if you did that you'd get a house that's 0 years old. Joe's actual house is 60 years old, so to guesstimate the value of that 60-year-old house we take $200k and subtract 60% to get $80k. (The 30% minimum represents the fact that even a centuries-old house in good repair has some value.) Again, after the discounting you'd apply modulation to make sure it's 10% - 90% of the total value.
Yes, many U.S. employers, particularly those who don't want to lose out on good candidates, sponsor new hires for O-1 and E-2 visas. It's less about a "high level achievement" and really more about checking evidentiary boxes: an applicant must meet at least 3 of the listed O-1 criteria and very often for talented professionals at least 3 criteria are within reach.

Carriers use emergency services regulations to assert that unapproved devices should not be permitted to place or receive calls. The carriers claim they'd be liable if someone should dial 911 and the device doesn't function well enough for first responders to respond, and the only solution they proffer is device validation testing.
Its very hard to take this article seriously with its profound ignorance of western violations of innumerable treaties, agreements and the like. And opportunistic ("strategic") misuse of the same for foreign policy ends.

I could easily imagine Russia being quite open to come to an agreement to end hybrid warfare (at least, aimed at destablising politics) with the US given how much backfire there was at their leaking of DNC emails -- an action taken as retribution for the western interference in Russia's 2011 election of Putin. USAID via its foreign policy front NGOs leaked evidence of election tampering to anti-regime groups in Russia causing riots that led to Putin ending his liberalisation efforts of that period. (Incidentally, Putin thought H. Clinton was involved -- but there's been no direct evidence of that -- partly why the leaks targeted her, and partly her expressed [, effective] desire to assassinate leaders of non-democratic countries hostile to US interests).

And given what impact the DNC leaks had, I could imagine the US being open ("at the democratic level" of politicians) to such an agreement. But its hard to imagine the foreign policy establishment ever agreeing to such a thing. It is de facto the foreign policy of the US to use any efforts at democratic liberalisation to change regimes hostile to US interests -- which, incidentally, makes it suicidal for any autocratic regime to do this.

It wont be Russia that serves as an impediment to "arms down" on hybrid warefare, but the foreign policy elite of the USA.

Tor does not do any mixing and so any attacker who observes the user and the final destination can simply correlate the two by looking at timing. Nym disable this by adding mixing (no one can correlate outputs and inputs because timing is not the same anymore). Also unlike what Tor ( where routing is circuit based which means all traffic goes through the same circuit for the same session), mixnet is packet based (every packet goes through a different path) which makes it veeeery hard for an attacker to correlate input traffic to output because now every messages goes through a different path.

Not speaking to the veracity of the statement but quaise answers this in a different article: "A lot of the challenges are the same as for oil and gas. The subsurface is an uncertain environment. The deeper you go, the more extremes you have, but we've come a long way with the oil and gas industry to develop a whole suite of technologies, techniques and measurement systems to minimise that risk. The main challenge is maintaining wellbores from closing in on themselves as you go deeper. There's a lot of pressure in the rock and these holes eventually will collapse. The way we answer that is by creating a glass wall in the rock as we burn it. When our technology vaporises the rock, it creates a glass wall and that remains on the walls and prevents the hole from collapsing."

So you should be able to get another reentry permit valid for another 2 years and then a third reentry permit valid for 1 more year. After that, it gets tougher and USCIS will look at various factors to gauge whether a green card holder has given up his or her green card, including time in the U.S., home in the U.S., assets in the U.S., employment in the U.S., family in the U.S., etc. But at a minimum, without a reentry permit, you should never be outside the U.S. continuously for more than 6 months.
Sure, but now you're making a different claim from the one you made before.

Before, you were saying: anyone who says "muh anxiety" is just trying to cover for the fact that they're incompetent.

I suggested that we've got pretty good evidence that interview stress really truly can, and not only-vanishingly-occasionally, make competent people fail to do simple interview-type coding tasks.

So now you're advancing a different claim: even if some competent people appear incompetent in some interviews because of the stress of interviewing, you should make interview decisions as if those people are just plain incompetent, because most people who fail to do simple interview-type coding tasks really are incompetent and identifying the few who were just stressed out is difficult.

That could very well be true! But it's not what I was arguing against before.

... But I'll argue against it just a bit, even though I mean it when I say it could well be true.

1. There may be much less inefficient ways of catching the competent-but-stressed candidates than "just interview everyone twice"; completely incompetent people probably don't interview exactly the same as competent-but-stressed ones. (I don't know for sure because, of course, when you interview someone and they don't perform well you don't generally get to tell which category they were in. But I bet it would be possible to find out.)

2. If the situation is that some people are particularly susceptible to interview stress (but that this doesn't make them bad at actual programming jobs unless they're in an extra-stressful environment), the "eh, just reject them" strategy might be good for companies that are hiring but punishingly bad for the people affected who just can't get a job because they are bad at interviews. If there were a good way to identify people who are good but fall apart readily under interview-stress, that might be a big deal for those people. (Which someone on the hiring side might not care about, of course; but it's sad when some group of people gets systematically screwed over.)

I repeat, as I have said before, that I don't have a solution to this problem nor even good reason to believe that there is one. I'm just pushing back against the blithe assertion that there isn't a real problem here.
The alternative is employees of OS vendors writing the specs. And they would intentionally drag their feet or even outright refuse to standardize features that encroached on native apps in order to maintain their walled gardens.

Apple did good things for the web with WebKit before iOS because it was in their interest to break the Windows desktop monopoly (and I'd argue that macOS has been a huge benefactor of Chrome taking down IE). They've been less than stellar post iOS now that they have a rent seeking business predicated on native apps locked away behind their app store.

I think about highly productive artists who, at some point, keep making records but can't make hit records anymore. I'd include David Bowie, Neil Young, Billy Joel, Duran Duran, Yes, KRS-ONE, just for a few. Sometimes I listen to a late discography and enjoy it consistently, such as Neil Young [1], other times it seems like an artist really loses their way, like Frank Zappa did once he got his Synclavier. Other artists wander in the dark for years and come out with something better than they ever did [2] Despite all this, some artists put on an amazing live act despite no new hits, such as Public Enemy and the 38 Special/Foghat show my son won tickets to last year. [3]

I used to have reductivist explanations such as "struggles with music technology" or "too old to rock and roll" but after hearing a lot of late music that I like, despite being unpopular, I think every artist follows a different trajectory.

[3] Answering problems in so many ways: members who passed away were replaced with other illustrious rock and rollers -- I wasn't expecting to hear "Play that funky music white boy" or an instrumental from the Heavy Metal soundtrack but these were great, Foghat even paid a songwriter to make a new song that fit in perfectly with their set.

I don't think Chrome is a very popular browser for desktop Linux users. Or, at the very least, it is definitely not as dominate as it is on Windows and macOS.
At least for my circumstance, Comcast has a 1.2TB/month limit before they hit you with hefty fees. If I stored my entire 14.4 TB/year, that'd cost ~$150 worth of disks (and not even require a full disk). So the storage for a full year of data use (Comcast alleges the actual average use is ~500 GB/mo) is less than the cost of a single subscription service. If you use a file more than once, that works out even better. And for things like music, storage costs are essentially irrelevant even if you use SSDs.
> But it means that either the shift lever has to be stateless, or the shift lever has to be movable by the system

Wouldn't it work to have the shift lever be stateful but overridable by the system?

When you turn off the car have the system put it in "Park" regardless of the position of the shift lever. Do not allow the car to be started unless the shift lever is first moved to "Park".

If you turned off the car with the shift lever in some other position you will have to move it to "Park" to enable starting.

Similar for opening the driver's door when the car is not in "Park". Require moving the shift lever to "Park" then to some other setting in order to disengage the auto-Park and resume driving.

I think most people would have no trouble dealing with this because most automatic transmission cars in the US already restrict starting to certain settings, typically "Park" and "Neutral".
In some reguards I would say it is. Yt-dlp terminates my need for an adblocker for the lifetime of the videos I download, something chrome no longer does on a per-view basis and these days not as easily. It also blocks the YouTube algorithm suggestions, which in my eyes are an advertisement too.

That's right, there's no need for the O-1 achievements to be from a specific country; the achievements just must meet the O-1 criteria and be documented wherever they occurred.

People would correctly identify that their standard of living is being reduced for ideological reasons without tangible individual benefits and would likely not respond well to that, resulting in a loss of political power for whatever movement instituted those policies and a reversal of said policies.
"Our research builds on previous studies, which have found that spelling can interfere with how learners pronounce individual vowels and consonants of a non-native language."

This matches very well with my own personal observations. Most language instruction focuses very heavily on written instruction, which can be damaging early on. When you're just starting out a new language, you should learn the sounds by mimicking native speakers, not by reading letters off a page. When reading, your preconceptions of how those strings of letters would be pronounced in your own native language can interfere with correct pronunciation.

Once you've got the pronunciation of the basic sounds of the new language down correctly, you can start using written materials.
You're conflating conscious as awake with conscious as aware.

Why do you say the F35 cannot intercept a supersonic bomber? Or maybe how are you defining that characteristic? I would think it can just fly out to a range from where it can fire a missile and does not actually have to get up close.

Underlying status has no bearing on green card options. Those in E-3 status can pursue green cards.
