Is it the AMA that puts that cap on? I was always under the impression that was really a consequence of the 1997 Balanced Budget Act (?).

A counter point to consider - and one that I consider to be a little more rational - is that - what if in the messaging to get people to wear masks - we have inadvertantly encouraged riskier behavior? As an analogy, I'd explain it like

In my personal experience my left leaning friends appear to feel very comfortable "letting it all hang out" on social media. It's very clear what their political opinions are. Those who aren't quite in sync with these vi

Separately from any constitutional challenges at the federal level, I bet many state supreme courts will be faced with challenges based on the premise that the state legislatures reached beyond their state granted powers.

I'd like to think we could agree that the Senate has become more politicized in the last few decades. I think where we disagree is what to do about it. There seems to be this prevailing cultural view that a democratic election is alway

I'm one of those people. I certainly see America as a republic first and foremost. I appreciate the design of America that incorporates democratically electing one's representives in the House of Representives while balancing the

The same can be said of the protests. The participants in many of those activities were not just local to the city. They too traveled. I could understand reducing the attendance at the US Open to a lower level. But to set it to zero while n

I think many people look at that logic (that those large BLM protests were safe) and wonder why it can't be applied to more mundane activities such as the US Open. It comes across as blatantly partisan and not the least bit driven by t

I think to make your case better you should cite paragraphs from the op-ed that bolster this claim.

I read the Tom Cotton op-ed and didn't find any racist element to it. It would be interesting to have you highlight which paragraph was racist in your eyes.
255.
by eej71 6y ago
The op-ed draws a distinction between those who are peacefully protesting and those who were rioting and looting. Dropping that context seems unfair and misleading. This paragraph - which is probably the source of the criticism - is clearly

It's too bad that memorization - as a tool - is so readily dismissed. I think it is immensely valuable and enables one to master complex material and establish insights that would not be readily available through other means. I think i

Very much agree. Of course this will drive up the cost of these elite prep programs because you'll need to find one that has the capability to summarize so many different tests and provide essentialized coaching. That won't come c

I'm with you. I tried to get into that book - but felt it was a lot of verbiage and new phrases to describe things that already had terms. I gave up about a 1/3 the way through.

To me - its just weasel words issued by an organization that was denied first hand access to wuhan. Perfectly crafted to play both sides. None of us should be surprised that a large scale multi-national organization like the WHO can only sp

I don't think DMA is an option in VMS land. Just a lock held for regular interrupt driven packet delivery. Been a while since I've dealt with it. This provides an in-depth description of the VCI API which is used to write your own

I'll add in that you could run a fairly simple program on Linux that simply blasted out very small UDP packets and point it at a VMS node - any port is fine - you'll drive up the interrupt mode on that box. You won't need muc

IMO, one of the significant scaling bottlenecks for VMS was there were only a handful of spinlocks that governed kernel activity. The one that I remember was IOLOCK8 (sp?). Any ethernet frame handling would have to hold that for a period of

Yes and TCP/IP support in general on VMS was not great. Performance was a consistent problem. It was clearly a second class citizen for a very long time.

OpenVMS absolutely does crash. I was actively involved with a very large cluster - and with enough abuse - individual nodes will tip over - and if you aren't careful - you can take down an entire cluster. It was an interesting OS. Some
