I also once thought this. But I'm not sure anymore. They're creating their own Rohingyas by declaring 4m people non-citizens [1]. One state was dissolved and remains under curfew under a constitutional sleight-of-hand (the federal

Airmail is a fine client, and MailButler adds the missing features for me. Thunderbird has Send Later ( https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-... for ) which the same as undo send. Unifi

There have been people interested in spread misinformation. But until WhatsApp, YouTube, and Facebook, which rely on and encourage oversharing, they didn't have the means to do it cheaply. They had do it the old-fashioned way by reachi

If they required/subsidized better insulation, they could pre-cool the buildings to a bit lower than optimal temperature and have a huge thermal reserve. But it's Texas, so...

Ideally yes.

Indeed, often in the US you could do better without the public defender. Many public defenders push their clients into plea deals despite innocence to save time.

At least for my case, these optimizations directly led me to stop watching Netflix.

I think the best course is actually to opt-out and reserve the right to a lawsuit when your identity gets stolen eventually. Wish there was a simple point-and-click letter generator to opt-out. The govt makes opt-out hard.

Cadence had a Lisp/Scheme with infix operators a long time ago. See https://community.cadence.com/cadence_blogs_8/b/cic/posts/sk...

These seem very sensible proposals to me. e.g., Toys R Us was a perfectly viable business, if not for the ridiculous debt-load. Thousands of low-paid workers lost their jobs, so that some PE partner could make a few million bucks.

You have to see how laws are made in the US. They are written by lobbyists/corporate lawyers (the lawmakers have stopped pretending otherwise these days). For the company, it totally makes sense. They spent something upfront (H-1B fees

Not really. Most such investments are in hotels/hospitals etc with large number of low paid employees.

It's been a while since I brushed up my physics, but that's not how it used to work, IIRC. Every body (in the physics sense) radiates heat, and that's independent of the incident energy. When the incident energy is more than

50% pop, not bad. Underwriters got $0 of that pop, very nice for whoever pounced early.

That was almost nostalgic for me particularly. I was part of the group that did the LMH67xx series of parts. I personally didn't design the LMH6702, but I was next cubicle over from the guy who did.

It's hard to come by rigorous numbers. But RFE's (request for evidence) are now the routine (approx 70% of cases) in all immigration cases. I haven't even heard of an acquaintance having their immigration (H1B, OPT, L1, perma

Immigrants are not necessarily cheap. H1B problems do bind some employees to their employers removing their leverage. I'm an immigrant, I can tell you I do not come cheap.

Cultural change happens when the externalities are priced in. See Denmark and Netherlands for example. The biking and public transport culture is a direct consequence of pricing in road maintenance, congestion, and other externalities into

Tobias Macey recently interviewed David Holmes, director of engineering at USDS. There's plenty of background and insight into how USDS came about and how it works. https://www.pythonpodcast.com/usds-government-software

I suspect it's more to do with hitting the bottom line of the election financiers.

It sounds like this person would have benefited from using Subversion or Perforce. Subversion 1.12 has alpha support for a limited local branch (called Checkpoints).

Freedom and Privacy are tightly coupled. One cannot truly be free if one's every action is monitored or manipulated. That is why the right to privacy was recognized by the US Supreme Court as inferred from the First, Fourth, and Fourte

I am not sure about it can never be authoritarian. It went through an emergency situation, because the ruling part lost the election at the time. The current govt is whipping up mass hysteria, and might just succeed, based on what I see hap

Indian voters don't swing their vote for the money. They know it's a secret ballot, pocket the money, and tell the buyer they voted for them.

I've seen a demo where given my email address they could pull up my name, address, profession, age, and I forget what else. Yes, it's already in unscrupulous hands.

I don't think many pay the single paper price at IEEE, which I agree is outrageous. I pay a annual membership of around $300 for unlimited access to all the important papers within my field of interest. They recently introduced a reduc

I am not sure about IEEE's institutional prices, but their member prices for journals are quite reasonable. Most academic journals published by Elsevier are beyond the reach of individuals.
