The 3.10 interpreter would still run 3.9-compatible Python code though, right?

Seeing the frequency of the days off and the reasons really humanizes these people that (at least I) just imagine as some alien beings that I had nothing in common with.

Also there’s just some that are funny given cultural norms today - I’m assuming it was more akin to taking bereavement leave, but imagining telling my boss I won’t be working because I’ll be drinking for 3 days is pretty comical to me:

day 24 (LIBATING TO HIS FATHER), day 25 (DITTO), day 26(?) (DITTO)

Installing and optimizing the code to make use of the 4MB expansion pak*

Taken seriously - I’m not sure. That being said; in my experience taking the time to help others out ended up with those teammates and their/my manager(s) talking positively about me, which ended up working out well for me career-progression-wise. There may have been other factors at play but being seen as nice/friendly (and smart) and being liked really goes a long way.

I’m not super familiar with what “worked examples” are exactly - do you have any you could share? I also find learning via tutorials inefficient.

the TJ's near me (greater Seattle area) was pretty bare, but they did miss their daily delivery (due to landslide blocking a highway). almost all cold dairy & vegetables were out of stock

Why not just list that entire “wider” band? How would doing that “compress” the payscale further?

Would love to see more posts about OPs IoT setup

also interested in seeing pictures/diagrams of the setup

I think “this is capitalism/liberalism” is a better way to call it out.

I am tired of the globalism/isolationism dichotomy that gets thrown around too, but there are good reasons to criticize attributing all of these problems to globalism. For one, “globalism” is commonly used as a racist dog whistle, and is a popular antisemitic conspiratorial buzzword. Second, calling out globalism as the root of the problem leaves out the fact that it’s capitalism that drives the need for globalism, not globalism existing just for the sake of globalism.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Track record of a poster should be considered when evaluating the framing of a post.

It's not supposed to be a complete survey of all news sites. It's sites that are posing as local news sources, when in reality they're just cookie-cutter "news" article farms that are connected to larger orgs that have a historical political bias. How does one not being around NYC invalidate the rest? Isn't it entirely plausible these organizations don't see value in attempting to persuade locals in those areas? Additionally, the vast majority of these appear to be in suburban to rural areas; there's none around Seattle, LA, or Atlanta as well.

There is literally zero historical evidence of this. Police forces have been attracting white supremacists for decades: http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/402521/doc-26-white-su...

Your statement is implying that the overuse of force is only in retaliation to attacking cops - have you not seen the dozens of videos over the last few days of people being shot at or gassed for protesting peacefully? Or being rammed into with cars?

"Temporary pause" is an incredibly naive way to describe what's happening. Millions of people (and businesses) will miss their rent/mortgage payments that are due Wednesday. Some not-insignificant portion of those missed rent payments will result in more mortgage payments being missed. Many who've lost their jobs and rack up debt during this won't be able to find a job when the economy is able to be spun back up. It seems obvious that there's going to be terrible cascading effects.

do you have links to reading about these? I'm curious but can't figure out search terms to find them myself

This post is not informative or helpful at all, you’re just fearmongering by posting a bunch of disturbing videos with scary summary text. It’s obvious your motivation is to simply stoke fears - whether that’s for financial gain or to demonize Chinese/Asian people is hard to tell

This is unfounded, xenophobic fearmongering.

You’re wrong, on both points. 44% of Americans say they’ve skipped going to the doctor because of costs: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2018/03/26/poll-44-...

40% of Americans would have difficulty paying an unexpected 400$ expense: https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2019-economic-we...

He literally made your second point - people _not_ going to the doctor because of associated costs

This is an incredibly bold claim, can you cite this?

But Wikipedia is no where near the same service it was in 2012. Dozens (if not hundreds) of features, increased traffic demands and higher availability, it seems obvious that the platform would have to grow.

You misunderstand what fascism is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

You're right, IQ has been used to harm groups of people (specifically black and brown people) for a long time. If I didn't know you were just trying to post reactionary propaganda I'd say I was surprised you decided to leave out all the data that shows that IQ doesn't encompass all ways a person can be "intelligent".

"The assertion that IQ measures human intelligence in any general sense, or that the source of variance in IQ scores is primarily cognitive in nature, remains unsubstantiated after decades of investigation.": https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0382/3398d781543cd0edcf51f1...

If you're going to try to convince people of your "race realism" bullshit on this platform you're gonna have to try a lot harder than unsubstantiated shit posting.

I'm going to interpret this as charitably as possible: Are you attempting to bring attention to the fact that doxxing is rarely prosecuted, even though it's illegal and there's boatloads of evidence that it is in fact a form of violence? This is the only way I can imagine this question being raised that doesn't assume you're trolling.

Do you have any data that suggests that people are simply choosing unhealthy options vs healthy ones?

You claim that better food isn’t available because people don’t buy it, but I’m not convinced. Can you provide any examples of food deserts that once had great selections of produce and non-processed foods, which disappeared because people weren’t choosing to shop there due to “too healthy” of a selection?

No ones saying Dollar General’s business model is to ensure people only get access to unhealthy options. This is an absurd straw man that no one is claiming. What people _are_ pointing out is that Dollar General has virtually zero incentive to ensure consumers have access to healthy food. Grocery stores in America are essentially unregulated, and it appears that this is a clear example of the free market not providing a solution that ensures everyone has equal access to healthy food.

This seems to be regularly happening in "passion" fields like human space flight, or bleeding edge tech spaces like self driving cars, medical technology, etc. For an example, just look at salaries between places like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or Virgin Galactic where total comp for a software engineer is between ~100-140K vs any FAANG company where equivalent experience will pull in upwards of ~200K TC. The disparity is even larger for non-software roles (EE, HDE, ME). I acknowledge that there are more than likely other forces here, but I highly doubt that the labor supply for these specialized skills is higher than that for general software engineering. Perhaps this is a place where unionization could be helpful.

Mind expounding on why?

I'm also in Seattle and would be interested in working on this if you're looking for partners, shoot me an email? magrimes@mtu.edu

What if it made you an extra $6000 per month? Even $3000?

Obviously the market would adjust from current taxi rates, but this is based off of the following rough estimate:

20 hours per day of you not driving * 30 days * 11$ avg taxi take-home per hour[1] = $6600
