My hypothesis is that your last observation is because of the ostracization (or separation?) of those individuals from society. How many people does the average middle-class person know that have been to jail/prison for anything longer

As a fun anecdote, I was sentenced to house arrest during COVID (after serving a short county jail sentence) and all of the fees were actually waived, by order of the governor, due to COVID IIRC. My experience is that this is seldom granted

This isn't something exclusive to wealthy individuals. Many first-time, non-violent offenders in many states are afforded this type of prison-camp setup. I suppose it is kind of odd for such a long sentence (although just divide by hal

Devil's advocate: Is their growth high enough? In our current system, you always have to be growing enough, not just profitable.

IMO it's because shifting towards self-reliance usually means shifting investment away from international investment and implementing protectionist regulations which are seen as economically hostile towards other states. So perhaps jus

That makes me wonder if there's any development on deeper integration into car systems going on for future models.

Courts (especially the current SCOTUS) seem pretty wary of expanding executive authority granted ambiguously under acts like the "International Emergency Economic Powers Act." Just my 2c.

...because they killed or chased away any dissenters, now and historically. Look at Taiwan, or Hong Kong, the revolution, or Xinjiang. It isn't some innate characteristic of the Chinese, it is intentional.

True, but those can also be banned (in a literal or practical sense).

The government has multiple tools it can use to ban websites as well.

TikTok disappearing from tens of millions of iPhones overnight (I have no idea about Androids) would probably work pretty well. If I had to guess, almost none of those people can jailbreak their iPhone to get it again, either. Your option w

This is cool, although I wish (and maybe I'm missing them) that there were lecture videos or recordings to go along with this. It seems like good material with not a lot of explanation. E: Sibling comment posted updated course with vid

I don't use Airbnb since they did a background check (which I guess I agreed to at some point) and then banned me when my record came back. I thought that was strange since it's up to the host if they want your record checked, I t

It's certainly not half, and really how we get mired in these things is way more complex than what you mentioned; I'd argue a lot of getting bogged down and accomplishing nothing is people whose views are not worth consideration (

Something they should be very familiar with the size of, at this point.

Agreed. But just as a thought experiment: what about a truck driver who owns their own trucking company, employs around a dozen other drivers, and also drives as one of its drivers? I would guess, theoretically, this is impossible past a ce

Using one's skills as bargaining power does not make one a capitalist. That person is still a laborer, their skills are the means of production. Capitalists control the means of production, laborers are the means.

And the elder Miyazaki walked out during the premier of his son's first feature film in an apparent expression of disgust at his son's creation. Not exactly a model father.

Code organization can go a long way but even then you will want to be very familiar with source. Talking about a large code base, you have to be even more intimately familiar since things begin to leak even with decently-strong organization

Also, even if your IDE can pick up on function usages elsewhere, if they are invoked or referenced in a non-standard way, they will probably be missed (such as Function.apply, as arguments, etc.)

This is awesome. I've seen a much simpler one of these (and other things) behind the firewall and was pretty amazed at how much is really back there. To see that the systems are as reliable as they are, and that they tell you when they

What I really want is lyrics on CarPlay. I'm sure there would be a ton of huffing in here about distracted driving, but...well, I don't care! I'd really just use it for confirmation of a word or phrase on a small handful of s

I've been where I am for almost 6 years, which is pretty incredible for me at 31. But am I a lifer? I can never say for sure, but I highly doubt it. It's so circumstantial. I am not worried about getting laid off, but I question w

So is there nothing showing tank air? Most of the newer dive computers have tank companions (dongles if you will) that connect wirelessly to display tank air levels. That feature is non-negotiable to me in a dive computer now.

Using an absolute like "never" is surely a good way to generate conversation. That said, it's probably more likely you won't go back and fix it, but I have plenty of recent examples where I have committed myself to going
