Millions marched for women's rights, millions marched for gay rights, millions marched for voters rights, millions marched for democracy.

Now this desperate man called for protest, and what did he get? Thousands.

It's a tough moment for our nation, but I am reassured. First the people, then the courts, then the states, now congress and the Vice President have all repudiated Trump's dictatorial aspirations.

There is a little 3.5mm-to-lightning dongle that came with at least the iPhone 7. Not sure if it comes with the current model, but FYI.

You probably know this, but worth saying just in case: you should look into unemployment assistance. I believe that the CARES Act applies in case of reduced employment, and the $600/wk benefit is always given in full.

What really is the issue? That Amazon is leveraging its success to be successful?

The issue is that over the long term, Amazon is lowering the ROI on innovating and taking risks in the consumer goods space. It's able to do this because of its dominance as a marketplace.

Alternatively, they are people that pay attention to their bodies and have intolerances that aren't strong enough to warrant a medical diagnosis but still make them feel shitty.

I'm also skeptical of the idea that they make it harder for people with "real" intolerances - in the gluten example, there's been an explosion of GF foods, products, and menu signage ever since "gluten intolerance" became a familiar phrase.

France blocked the export of (purchased) masks to Switzerland, and other nations.

You ever breathe out on a cold winter day? Your breath is humid.

Undocumented migrants have for all effect become the modern day equivalent of slavery without the associated compasion.

Except for the fact that it's a choice - they aren't kidnapped and sold, they are choosing to work in (to us) shitty conditions because the conditions in their home countries are even worse. If you want to talk compassion - have some compassion for what they are running from.

I'm actually a little stunned at your disregard for the realities of slavery, both modern day and historic.

>What if a seller increased the price of a good or service because the seller’s costs of providing the good or service increased?

If the seller can prove that the increased price is directly attributable to increases in the cost of labor or materials needed to provide the good or service, the seller may not be liable under the statute.

It's right there on the linked page. This basically prohibits large markups while allowing for passing of costs.

Price gouging laws typically apply at the consumer point of sale, I'm not sure they prevent a higher price from factory to store.

You traditionally can't get a warrant to get the DNA of the cousin of a suspect in a crime. With a centralized DNA registry you can get partial matches. So perhaps those are opt-out?

Bad programming was not the sole or root cause but it was a cause, and people died. You can't punt on that unless you want software engineer to actually mean code monkey. The same way a building architect has to sign off on the design demands of a a client, a software engineer on safety-critical systems must evaluate the spec and consider the effects of edge cases.

I miss the escape key as well, here’s one way I addressed it: using BTT I added another button to the Touch Bar. This was a second escape key, placed right next to the original. Now the first two inches from the left are one big escape key, making it easier to touch-type.

Kind of funny how every random period happens at the end of a word and never during it.

Why would the U.K. be concerned with the U.K. as a security risk?

For anyone else curious about what DAL means:

Design Assurance Levels (DAL)

DAL A describes flight electronics hardware whose failure or malfunction could cause a catastrophic, hazardous, or severe condition that would result in the deaths of everyone aboard the aircraft.

DAL B describes flight electronics hardware whose failure or malfunction could cause a severe or hazardous condition that could involve some loss of life.

DAL C, meanwhile, describes hardware whose failure or malfunction would result in a major flight condition that likely will involve serious injuries.

DAL D describes hardware whose failure or malfunction would result in a condition that causes only a minor non-life-threatening flight condition.

DAL E, finally, describes hardware whose failure or malfunction would have no effect on the aircraft's operational capability or pilot workload.

HBO has never been the best place for comedy series and, good as Crashing was, it remains an also-ran there as well.

That might be true in terms of popularity, but in terms of critical success Veep & Curb Your Enthusiasm were pretty dominant.

I read that as saying the nose holes on the broken statues don't look "black."

We have some idea of a crash rate for safe airplanes. Something like: P(Crash|Miles Flow & Hull Age)

If we assume this airplane is safe, we can apply that probability to it and then ask P(2 Crashes|N Miles & 350 New Planes).

You would then have a probability for this just being bad luck, and compare that against your prior that this is a safe plane.

I haven’t done the math, but my gut says it would point to grounding the plane.

The car was traveling at 44mph. A speed reduction to even 14mph would have probably made the collision survivable. If your argument is that the car was unable to drop 30mph over several seconds without causing an accident or swerving into opposing traffic, I don't know - maybe the self driving isn't there and shouldn't be on the road at all.

Whether something is "inherently" wrong depends entirely on your own moral philosophy, but one downside to parental dependency is that it perpetuates and exaggerates class division.

An interesting challenge might be the computational cost of conversion to the "standard" reference given a speed near c. If a single CPU tick takes a "standard year" to compute how do you do you account for all ticks in your calculation?Is it possible to get to a sub-year standard time resolution in that scenario?

How would such a standard handle time dilation?

My shock is the dual narrative on "tech pays too much -- down with tech" "tech pays too little -- down with tech."

What's shocking about this? If you're uneducated and barely scraping by in LIC and Amazon moves in you have two problems: their low end jobs don't pay enough to improve your quality of life while their high end jobs are unattainable and will drive you out of the neighborhood. While Amazon might have been a net positive for the city it would have been actively harmful to a slice of the population. They spoke up.

It's weird to me that there's so much attention given to AOC. She has no hard power in domestic NY politics. She didn't stop the deal. State politicians threatening the permitting process stopped the deal.

If NYC has a problem it's with Byzantine building codes and zoning.

The suicide and assault rates, including school shootings and other mass shootings, has only increased over time, with more deaths every year.

Citation needed. A cursory look at Wikipedia for suicide rates suggests that they took a dip in the late 90s but otherwise are flat from the 80.

Violent crime has been trending down for decades.

An approach that's being tried elsewhere is a vacancy tax. This encourages either private use or leasing of the properties.

For someone who has worked with both: which offers a better developer onboarding experience, for small web/data apps? Ease of learning and use wise.

In my experience they over-optimized, with homepod now responding to "hey Sara" instead of Siri. Drives my partner nuts.
