It's disturbing the vast difference of opinion between ordinary citizens of the US who think he's a monster that inflicted an enormous amount of evil upon the world. Ever more worse because it was in our name. And how the politica

The US has 50 states. And everything like this is can vary by federal, state, county, and muni's. So... Jail is for naughty people. Prison is for bad people. Jails are usually run by counties and muni's and hold people before tria

Well you got 400,000 children dying of Malaria every year. Between the time you wrote your post and I responded 400 children died. Since there isn't any way to use their deaths to further a political agenda no one cares.

Israel is a war with Gaza. They can jam his satellites if they are communicating with receivers in Gaza and put Musk and his companies on their naughty list.

I feel like the pointer stuff you could handle safely in a modern language. Because I think pointer and array notation are convertible so one isn't scarier than the other. But yeah not being able to tag pointers as 'can't be

I read a paper 'What If We Don’t Pop the Stack? The Return of 2nd-Class Values' where they discuss their research into delaying popping the stack to allow functions to return data allocated on the stack. As a small brained embedde

I've done the same with embedded drivers, randomly flip bits in the drivers state and see what happens. Does it recover, throw fault, hang, or explode like a bomb. I got that from a hardware designer talking about robust state machines

A better argument for steel is it requires 5-10 kwhr/kg to produce vs 60kwhr/kg for aluminum and 250kwhr/kg for titanium. So for the same energy you get 6 times more steel than aluminum and 25 times more than titanium. Which

I think that was the problem with how Linux implemented pselect() circa 10 years ago. I think pselect fixes the race condition you get when you set a timer then call select(). Linux's implementation was a function that set a timer and

One thing that people often don't get about spending. Agencies are supposed to actually spend the money they were allocated. If they don't that raises very uncomfortable questions. It's maybe worse than spending too much. Whe

Yes and economist's also think the risk to the workers physical health and safety is part of the pay that gets factored in and the government should mind it's own beeswax too. That's generally part of economists reflex to loo

This is absolutely correct. Anytime you get an accountant involved they calculate total operating costs and use those numbers. Another thing about fleet operators especially government ones is they get vendor financing at very low rates. So

It's a pro social job where you are responsible for something important. But the MBA's that run pharmacies have stripped pharmacists of all power and are overworking them relentlessly.

The US mostly does not have a systematic problem with how emigrants are treated. It's completely normal for people to emigrate to the US, become a citizen and be completely accepted as such. The US does however have a particular proble

Recently went to get a vaccine shot. Making talk with the pharmacist she let the mask slip, working conditions are horrible. The problem with supply and demand is like everything from economics[1] it acts as if only money is important. And

I think the problem is someone has a 'technology' they want the government to force people to pay for.

I forgot to add, when I walked in there was just two phlebotomists and no one else. And when the old guy walked in there was just the four of us. So it was obvious quest had a rule that customers were supposed to use the kiosk no exceptions

I might describe the western countries as being cocksure and overly optimistic after the USSR fell apart. Would also describe the amount of nuclear weapons produced during the 1960-70's as insane and serving no rational reason other th

Growing up in the middle of the cold war and with some sense of history it dawned on me that the whole thing was an aberration. Geopolitically the world is usually not like that. I thought eventually the cold war order would fall apart and

So your down the dark road then. Going to blame a non-self selecting group of people for something. The reality is the US plays the heavy while all the other countries get to have their cake and eat it too. They can vote endlessly against I

I'll point out the Jews outside of Israel have as much say as you do. And really your government doesn't do anything material to stop the settlers from committing genocide either. Oh they complain and strongly condemn but who care

You're on the money. People as a group are constantly having transient health related stuff. Reporting all of those when they occur a few days or weeks after someones been vaccinated is no different than snapping a picture with a camer

It kinda makes sense. You can burn natural gas to make electricity. You get 0.4 energy units of electricity for each energy unit of natural gas. Heat pump COP is say 3.5. So you get 1.4 units of heating out. Converting to electricity has co
