Short version:

Myanmar had sanctions against specific types of business trades against it, none of them involving anything like "digital games".

EA decided to roll out an update including blocks against Myanmar, despite there being no requirement to, and after the sanctions had been lifted to boot. (Circumvention via VPN possible.)

According to https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/5a5oxf/ea_games_and_... it may even be import sanctions on crypto put up by Myanmar itself.

Agreed. Someone posted about it recently on here, and I've been using it ever since then for my research papers. Great website. My only suggestion for it would be that I wish collaborators could work on a particular LaTeX document without having to register.
You could make the links blue and/or underline them, but that could harm readability and aesthetics.

I doubt it, blue and underlined is pretty much a standard. I think it looks perfectly fine and clear. There's a reason most browsers' default stylesheet will make links look like that.

I personally really like using latex. But the main problem for me is that latex is not really designed for collaborative editing, especially with people who don't know latex. are there any track changes feature plugin/app that's available and relatively simple for people who mainly use MS word.

I've tried and liked it, but it seems that it isn't really meant to replicate Lightroom's cataloguing functionality. I tried importing the 20 or 25K photos I have, which Lightroom cruises through (I've met people with hundreds of thousands of photos in their catalogues) and Darktable gacks. That's on a relatively recent 5K iMac too, so I don't think hardware limitations are the problem.

Right now Darktable seems to be more of an editing tool and less of a cataloguing tool.
Before the Flood - Documentary (DiCaprio, Elon Musk, ... ) [2016]
As you mention yourself, the US got by using mostly wood until relatively late in the second industrial revolution. There is still a lot of useful energy in wood. Even ancient rome burned a ton of wood for heat and their own industries. It would have been more expensive and less sustainable sure, but I think it would have been enough to start. There is also wind and water power which was utilized a lot during the start of the industrial revolution.
Ideally these extra features could be put at the bottom or tucked away under menus. But I think the assumption is that power users have a desktop.
Have there?

I see people saying this, and I've seen that they have short-term effects one would expect from taking in nicotine (not that dissimilar to caffeine), but nothing much suggesting that they're harmful in the longer term.

For the big picture, sure. But when you're out and about, you need the small picture, the zoomed in picture, the "you are here" picture.

Paper maps are a pain and messy. Constantly folding and unfolding causes annoying creases. It takes longer to work out where you are and what route to take. Am I really arguing about why a map app is superior to a paper map?
> For some reason, I immediately thought of that popular video: "Don't talk to the police." Today, I'd probably assume that if you're fishing for a confession, then you don't have any evidence, and your "boss" doesn't exist.

Absolutely. Never talk to me either. Never talk to the professor. Tell them "an investigation is better as it will prove your innocence and resolve the issue more quickly then my explanations will" and walk away if you did cheat. If the prisoners dilemma all over again especially since it takes 2 to cheat in most cases.

> For instance, when I was an adjunct, I didn't have support like that from my department.

I'm different in that I'm not a professor, I help teach and grade a class so I work underneath a professor who allows me to lecture some times and help guide the class but it's not "my" class. As a grader I see all the students work and as an attentive grader I memorize the students names and styles. When I catch a cheater I email my boss and the professor I work under and they advise me on what to do (which is usually to allow me to write my strongly worded letter of doom that anyone who's done something iffy on the internet has received once or twice). The policy in this programming class is that it's not cheating if you credit each other with parts of the work you've done but the less astute observers won't remember that and will try and hide their work.

> What I don't know is how I'd have reacted as a college student with less confidence and street smarts, and with a possibly justifiable fear of antagonizing a teacher.

Some of these kids are in other classes I'm taking and they are still afraid when I bring it up. It's the fear that I will involve the administration that works here. The carrot or the stick. They assume I'm the carrot and I'm going to just mark them zero if they fess up. They assume that the school is the stick and they will get the full penalty.

If it were up to me any cheating would be handled officially through the university but that isn't our SOP. We find cheaters usually fail. As such we just tell them "we know and we are going to give you a 0 for this and next exam". That usually deters cheating as they need to retake the class then.

However I did put a Hackintosh into mission critical use for a bit. The machine was a ~$300 Dell Mini 9 which remains one of the all time easiest and most stable Hackintosh builds. To be fair it was a puny computer, but I upgraded mine with a larger SSD which made it pretty quick, and it was rock-solid stable. TBH I don't think it ever crashed or hang. And it was tiny.

I used this as my onstage computer for about a year running Reaktor and Sampletank. It took many falls. I never once had a problem with it. Its teensy size meant it could perch in a blank area on top of my keyboard.

However you're right about updates. They could be fatal and had to be well-researched and planned.

And I am not yet prepared to disclose the name that the system gave me on the Internet - because Internet never, ever forgets. Roaches check in - but they don't check out.

I still don't see how Oracle is relevant in any of that, since DTrace source code is under CDDL. As far as I'm concerned, that's where the story begins and that's where it ends.
Sorry, but for Catholics, some 1.2 billion people

"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"
(Catechism of the Catholic Church.)

Which is exactly what science is not.

And if all your faith and your preaching depends on the actual historicity of an impossible event, to which you seek no further explanation than something equivalent to "it's magic" (and no further interpretation but "then it means we're right"!), then of course this attitude is very far from being compatible with science.
That's not really a "lie" per se. In the USA it would only be dischargeable by 0.01% of people, or some freakishly low number. The standard of discharge wrt student loans is so ridiculously high. The case law shows that a person, to get them discharged, essentially needs to have zero chance of ever being able to hold a job or work again. There have been quadriplegics who couldn't get them discharged for hardship. The bar is so high, it is essentially impossible for all but the severely, severely unfortunate among us. If you have the potential to hold any sort of job at any point in the future, it's effectively impossible to discharge.

So while it's not technically true, the ability to discharge student loans is such an edge case, saying they're nondishargeable is effectively true.
It's not a great UX for reading the story. Which is why the 'moments' version is better:

I think tech hubs are intrinsically centralized, because you need to get the best people in the sample place. If you have N tech hubs, then you have no tech hubs. If Europe is to have a real tech hub, it needs to have the best minds in Europe (at the very least) be there. And for now, there is not really any such place. Language is also a big issue.

Who is it run by? It's not under https://github.com/gentoo and the gentoo-mirror org doesn't have any "public members" ... I'd be more concerned with trusting this, than my ISP or OSU OSL MITM-ing me.

That aside, wouldn't it make sense to have the generated metadata in a separate repository? Sync the latest metadata, then check out the corresponding revision from the actual gentoo git repo.

The History of Paper Money – Extra History
I used to write my resume using Latex, there is a pretty good lib for this.
However, moving from windows to OsX forced me to spend some time and money in order to make it compile again.
I also had to tune up some details with a pdf editor. I don't remember which ones, only that it was easier to modify the document by hand rather than modifying the pdf lib.

In the end, I gave up. My profile is on LinkedIn anyway and I have an out of date version in google docs.
I don't have as much control on the document, but it takes me a couple of minutes to add a new entry and get a good result.
It's fascinating that a system we take for granted is really less than a hundred years old.
I find Falkvinge's libertarianism[1, 2] much more compatible with the idea of a pirate party than direct democracy; democracy can outvote individual freedom and create a majority rule over an individual[3]. Other pirate parties are a good example of how the core principles can get outvoted and diluted with off-topic issues.

In 2015 Pirate Party of Iceland overthrew the blasphemy laws[41, which is a great success. I honestly hope they do not take the way of the modern left and introduce the concept of "hate speech" which limits free speech to only ideas the ruling group likes. It has happened over and over.

Still, I see this victory as a positive move. I hope the party will succeed in passing a meaningful copyright and patent reform.

Not op but this is my experience. I mainly use macOS but use Linux occasionally.

First, the argument against third party software to me is irrelevant, after all I use macOS and not, say iOS, because you can install these kinds of applications. Besides, from my point of view, almost all software on Linux is third party software anyway so I don't get the difference. For window management I install Spectacle and for package management I install HomeBrew and call it a day.

The UI to me seems superior because a) it looks better, b) it's more integrated with the system, and c) it doesn't bother me every 5 minutes trying to get my attention. I realize that looks are subjective but Linux has always looked "wrong", like it's unfinished; typography looks wrong, and the dimensions of the elements look wrong, some too big, some too small. Lately it has gotten better but still, the more deep you go, the less finished it gets. I guess one tends to like what one's used to. On my second point, macOS is the UI, not like on Linux where you can tell the Windowing System seats on top of the OS. It feels disconnected somehow, and as soon as something goes wrong, you are back on the terminal trying to hack your way back to stability. Lastly, macOS is not constantly begging for my attention. Windows is much more guilty of this than Linux is, but it still happens, showing you bubbles and messages for non critical tasks that ruin concentration. It also provides the information you need and very little else, the information is there if you want it, but it's not in your face. It gets out of the way, and lets me focus on the application and task I'm really interested in, not in managing the system.

And don't get me started on installing applications. Apt-get is fine if all you try to install is a low level package that is not dependent on anything else. As soon as things get more complicated you think about it twice before attempting to install something out of fear of it requiring a kernel recompile. In my opinion, dependencies and repositories are two words no normal user should be familiar with.

Of course, if you are a developer, or if you spend all day on the terminal I can see how your point of view might be different, or why you would care about your GNU tools being up to date. And I get how macOS might seem to someone coming from Linux, or even Windows, more limiting. But the truth is I don't care about the system that much, I want it not to bother me.

Lastly, and perhaps my strongest and more frivolous point, command-H to hide applications is the best shortcut ever. I haven't minimized a window in years.

I'm not saying that it is as dangerous as the things I mention. It is the US government that deems it too dangerous (forbidding it to be sold to other nations).

In Holland there was a strain of bird flu created. I would have not been opposed to the government stepping in.

Nuclear proliferation is another obvious example.

You state that there are civilian applications. I would say that that is irrelevant. :-) I don't even know how to start addressing that argument. Is it okay to develop potential dangerous tech as soon as you can earn money with it through civilian applications? And why is it not possible to destroy the stealth boat and keep the "supercavitating pontoons"? Is there some dark tech-karma that requires a bomb made for every pill?
With good cause in many cases. Imported American/Scottish evangelical Christianity has had a terrible effect in many parts of Africa - see Uganda's harsh anti-gay laws (and actions), or the abuse and murder of children accused of being witches in Nigeria.

So I'm not the only one. I wrote larger-ish project while using asyncio and it is pain. The syntax is very unfamiliar (especially in 3.5 with async/await), the documentation is confusing and it's very hard to debug it in general. Also it's very hard to combine/stack multiple IO heavy events (make 5 calls to these URLs and whichever is done and returns these task run them in parallel).
Consistent header styles are doable with MS Word too. It's just that few people seem to learn that feature.
I imagine this kind of thing varies between countries. It appears the standard in the US is that if repaying the debt would be an "undue hardship" then a judge may discharge it in bankruptcy. You can also file a different kind of bankruptcy that can change your repayment terms, though I think mostly the schedule rather than the actual amounts.

This is all from ~5 minutes of research though, so take with salt as appropriate.

Some have argued that skilled labor actually benefits the most from a minimum wage increase (can't find a citation offhand). This is caused by wage inflation as employers must increase compensation to retain workers.

We tried that recently with one of our students. You can definitely tell who is a cheater right off the bat based on their attitude in class. The kind of student who is driven to understand the world around them is not the kind of student who needs to cheat to obtain this knowledge.

After the recent midterm we gave out for one of my students I received two copes of the exam, one had a 20pts higher grade. Due to errors made on our side of the line it seemed as if the student had taken the exam, left a room, and taken it again at another room to score higher. We thought as soon as we saw him that he was a nice kid and so we should go lighter on him. All it did was freak the kid out. He couldn't make full sentences without stuttering because he thought we knew he was cheating.

I think this falls on a fault of our own. We didn't ask the right questions--the professor and I. We asked "did you take two copies of the exam" and he said yes, we then asked "did you change rooms" and he didn't respond, he just looked confused. We took him to my boss and my boss just gave him the exams and said "can you explain this". After that the kid went and explained exactly what happened.

I don't know if it's coming across correctly but basically we lead him into telling us he cheated. We "knew" that he cheated when it was really an error on our side. My boss was level headed and just said that we would start an investigation into cheating if he cannot explain himself and tell us what happened that day. When given the change rather then asked leading questions he was better able to articulate himself. It's my opinion now that asking any questions is a horrible idea for confronting a cheater. You just need to tell them what information you have and how this is going to be bad for them and they can fill in the blanks otherwise you will have accidentally lead them into a trap where they say they did something that they obviously didn't do as in the case of this student.

Nice troll. I wonder if it's feigned ignorance (insidiousness) or just plain incapacity of a greater comprehension.

All I say it is not surprising
I had a similar experience with python 3's asyncio. I have worked with gevent, which has an arguably less "elegant" interface (with monkey patching, for instance), but with which it is so much easier to be productive. I was frustated for having dificulties understanding and using asyncio. The author is a better python programmer than I am, so I supposed there is really a problem there.
Spoiler alert: you will not master LaTeX (nor anything) in minutes. I have written my master thesis on sharelatex.com, the first months have been painful but at the end I had a great feeling of having achieved something. I still not consider that I master LaTeX but at least I can now use it for any standard documents and draw graphs and math formulas with ease.

I really suggest developers to use LaTeX to create their resume because it looks really professional and personal (if you do not just use a standard template). It takes some time but you will get exactly what you want and learn many things along the way.
