Supreme Court likes to take contradictory cases as well.
So if 9th circuit says no and 1st says yes. Then it's good chance for Supreme Court to jump in.
It's amazing the lies about Trump people believe.
You can post almost any blatant false thing and people will eat it up.
In fact a typical routine is to post a story on on some horrible thing he said. Get the masses riled up. Then quietly retract the story later.
Rinse and Repeat.
There is already talk about making the next candidate the worst person imaginable, whomever he his.
There was once a study that "proved" Democrats were smarter because could recognize the letter W faster than Republicans. This was back during the George "W" Bush period. Basically one group was enraged at the sight of a W, so they were quick to spot it.
It's not fun. I had a small stroke while in a music lesson. Instructor was very confused as to why I suddenly couldn't play or follow any instructions.
Programming has been this weird mix where I would see a simple problem. Say a fibonacci sequence. Something I could do in my sleep.
I would look at it. Understand that I can solve this in seconds. Then it would take me a week to muddle through it, badly.
So I know how to program just fine, but I somehow I can't actually do it. So it's been relearning things I think I know how to do.
The saving grace is people would often ask how to approach a difficult problem and I could still quickly figure out what the issue is, and what approach to take to resolve it. So I was very helpful to others, but I couldn't do the work I suggested.
Reminds me of this story from This American Life that they replayed recently about a retired physicist diagnosed with Alzheimer's who loses the ability to read a clock:
Thanks for sharing. Reminds me a lot of my grandfather who survived 10yrs post-diagnosis. Couldn't recognize his children most of the time near the end but he was a great guy and thankfully he kept most of his affable nature until he passed.
What you're describing fits well with the description of declarative
versus imperative knowledge [1], the subject of a recent thread
here. Perhaps your experience suggests they are encoded by different
neurological structures! I hope you continue to recover.
[1] example: knowing what a square root is, and all the common roots,
but not knowing Newtons method or any trick for finding them.
I used to love paired programming.
I've done it successfully a number of times, but I had a few years where I did't know if I could function or not at any given moment.
One minute I'm solving the hardest problems a company has. Next I can't remember where I'm working, Resolves itself in a few minutes, but leaves me exhausted for a couple hours. Scares the crap out of people.
Perhaps you could open a restaurant and pay people as much as they want to live a comfortable life. If you could do that and stay in business I would be most impressed.
Won't be able to stay in business without workers. If workers cannot live comfortably on their wages, they'll choose another job that provides those wages.
Most people earn what they can, and live off it as best they can. If that means single bedroom apartment with 10 family members eating beans and rice, then that is what it is.
People on HN tend to be out of touch with how lower income people actually live.
In my own life over the course of twenty years I went from: living in a tent with 3 others for a year, to a one bedroom apartment with a roommate in the living room, to an apartment with just my wife, to buying a house and starting a family, to then buying a house with a pool and sending my kids to decent schools.
The point is that rice and beans is temporary. As a worker, I continued to work towards better employment that provided the life I required. The vast majority of folks I knew along the way did the same. All 4 of the folks in that original tent with me are comfortably middle class nowadays.
Had a hunter with a blue crab named Seafood in World of Warcraft for years.
He was somewhat famous on the server at the time. Eventually got rid of him because he had no benefits compared to other pets. No logical reason to keep him.
Huge regret. I grieved for that damn crab for months. Finally stopped playing that class all together.
As a fellow WoWer, I always opted for aesthetics, writ large, over optimization. I get that folks seek out competition, either vs environment or other players. But adhering to a personal aesthetic Code is another option.
See also, I suppose, conduct runs in many roguelikes.
Enough trauma and lose and eventually you stop feeling much of anything. It's weird when something happens that Intellectually you understand that should or once did make you sad, happy, etc; but you feel nothing at all.
