Therein lie the problem. The caller ID system was not designed with the thought that callers might spoof numbers. I think it's time to revise the signaling protocols to make this not possible. If it is a world wide problem and the parties outside the US (my area of concern) choose not to support this, then make the companies that refuse to support this responsible for any fines that accrue from illegal calls. I think this might motivate them to help solve the problem.

And FWIW I'm also in the group that doesn't answer calls that are not linked to my contacts. I have also noticed that the spoofed numbers use my area code, exchange and even a jumble of the last 4 digits to get my attention.

Killing has nothing to do with Communism. I don't defend those who have killed in its name, and I don't want to do the same as them. As far as I know, Nazism requires forceful removal or killing of people.

This is the difference.

What he means is all this is a far cry from an actual Nazi movement. I don't think you really appreciate what the NSDAP was. The NSDAP was build on a very strong military base (disenchanted veterans) and was using very strict military rules. They were not fat morons parading with tiki torches, but trained assassins organized in armed militia used to impose their order through authority and fear. Labeling a bunch of morons Nazi because they are white, they chant and they have a Swastika flag is a moral fallacy, an insult to all the people that suffered actual Nazism, and a gross oversimplification.
I don't get the strategy here. What's the investment thesis? Are they collecting news and trading on it? It doesn't seem to mention that.

> The questions about whether such contracts should be something that even can be offered, or whether simply clicking through a EULA or accessing a bit of content can bind one to a contract, or the nature of what such a contract may be allowed to be, are all separate matters of interesting discussion.

But you can't accept a contract just by visiting the site. Especially since the in the same action as becoming aware of the exist of the contract also makes you breach the contract.

> However I don't foresee any world arising in which the "the purpose of a user agent is to display me what I want to see and therefore any manipulation of the content other people own the rights to is within my rights" is going to hold up.

Why? This has always been the purpose of the user agent and it's difficult to impossible to actually make sure things will always look the same in all browsers. Could viewing a site in FireFox or Edge become illegal? Again, how would I know that _before_ taking the action. What about systems such as links2, w3m, elinks, and lynx?

> f you rewrite the terms of the contract, you have to account for the other side of the contract reacting to it, not just passively sitting back and going "Oh, gosh, I guess I'm stuck then, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing without changing anything."

Which terms? The UA has always been the agent of the user, not the site whose content is being displayed.

I just find it very difficult to believe that the court will accept that I've broken a "contract" I can't know exists without breaking it.

The quote with some context:

Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun
Right. And then, if the carrier pursues really aggressive enforcement, they end up making false positive mistakes with no way for the affected individual to remediate them.
Why didn't anyone think of that before?! I mean, what a breakthrough - think of the time that could be spent elsewhere, if only everyone got everything perfectly right. Coming up with the idea was the hardest part, implementing it should be easy, right?

Absolutely not - Russian women had less choice following the collapse as the country's economy declined.

The paper I cited does not claim that USSR had managed to transform an otherwise very prejudice society into an equal egalitarian one. Instead, soviets focused on full employment AND full Labor participation as part of ideology, leaving less room for contradictions such as gender discrimination on employment or education itself. Salary and promotion discrimination remained as there ideology provided less cover. Following the collapse, Russian society reverted to its old prejudice self. Lookup домострой if you don't believe me.

Another less from USSR for gender/family stays equality is that childcare access makes a huge difference. In USSR, parents were guaranteed state funded care from the point maternity leave ended to college. On paper that still exists, but in practice it's a shadow of what it used to be.

You can't find them. They spoof their Caller-ID so that every time you get a call from "Rachel with Cardholder Services" or the "Student Loan Forgiveness Program" it's from a different number.

The loan forgiveness people are especially annoying as they'll also text you, and don't respect their own "Text STOP to stop" message. When you talk to them, they refuse to give their street address, so you can't send them a cease & desist letter.
On the Epistemology of Conspiracy Theories [pdf]
David was a pinball fan like myself and couldn't attend the expo in Chicago that year.

I was commiserating on Usenet about not being able to find affordable hosting for the website. This was way before hosting-only companies were available or even Geocities. David stepped up and generously offered room on Lysator.

As to why it's still up, I'm not sure. There was a short period where it looked like it was offline, but it's back now. Perhaps because Expo '94 is on a lot of "oldest websites that still work" lists.
Great. Now do Memento.
Could you then find another one?
Sure, several times. I've mostly done ops for the nonprofit sector so it's a little easier (I'm in avtech right now for rea$on$, but most of my career has been nonprofit).

Now, I live in DC so this is a lot easier for me than for people who live in other cities. But K Street and Old Town are chock full of Societies for the Advancement of Whatever, who always need technical work done, and there's rarely a problem finding a "Whatever" that you believe in (or just think is cool).

A few thoughts on this:

1. The "cool" factor should not be underestimated. One of my favorite jobs was sysadmining at Mount Vernon; it's not that I particularly believe in George Washington, but that is a mission that is undeniably "cool".

2. You will not make remotely as much money as you will in the for-profit sector (see above), but you'll have a much better quality of life. I spent years as a sysadmin without a pager, because they really don't care if the server goes down overnight. You will also (in my experience) have a much freer hand with what you do than you do in a tech company. If their brief is lobbying for human rights, they neither know nor care what stack you use to implement their intranet.

3. Org work has a very specific annual rhythm that you need to understand to work with. Every year there's a conference, a publication of some sort, and a membership drive; each of those is an "all-hands-on-deck" situation that lasts about a fiscal quarter (and you probably will be stuffing envelopes and manning a booth and checking people in). That leaves you one quarter per year for infrastructure work. Use it wisely.

Personally from using it, it goes well beyond just visualization of large graphs. Its not readily useful to see so many nodes, but what they've done is made it easier for people to parse through large graphs without a lot of hand holding. I would point out the work of others in this field, like Marc Khoury (which @MurrayHill1980 has already kindly mentioned), but this points to making large graphs usable for a variety of folks in my opinion.
> Maybe browsers could do some static analysis for the simple cases?

The risk here is that you end up where cases where non-obvious changes cause the static analysis to no longer work; at least in the current world there's a clear line between having a non-passive event listener and not having one. Attempting a heuristic could cause both unpredictability and interoperability issues (since the heuristic will surely vary by browser vendor).
I don't mind this at all. Amazon's emails are hardly on the list of annoying robo-emails. They actually deliver useful information.
Aren't those categories unactionable? I mean, a lady owns a beauty shop, spends 10 hours a day ordering supplies, doing payroll, managing advertising, hiring and fireing, somehow she's not working class because other people are involved and paid by her? A guy like Bill Gate's Dad is categorized middle class because he works alone, sort of, despite essentially bossing around his clients with autocratic decisions made in the quiet of his office?
TL;DR

There was a defect in a tire that when subject to wear failed catastrophically causing the front axle to derail when braking prior to entering the station. The train was braking later than the textbook safe distance and was not configured for ideal braking performance. The derailed axle hit some of the track infrastructure causing the locomotive to jump the tracks and hit the platform while the rest of the trail piled on the back.

Just like every other "disaster" it's a bunch of otherwise inconsequential actions, bad luck, an operating procedure that doesn't account for day to day reality and a little bit of corner cutting coming together at the same time.
Launch HN: Spreebie (DraperDarkFlow Portfolio Co.) – Neighborhood Shopping App
Gen Z had their formative years after the 2008 recession - that means they don’t really know what life was like before then. They are tough, independent and fearless. They also don’t wanna make the same mistakes that their parents (Gen X) and millennials made - debt, debt and more debt. They wanna make money during college and are THE generation that’s gonna stick it to the status quo not out of some misplaced resentment but through the nature of their upbringing. Our service, Spreebie, gives them the tools that COMPLETELY crush old notions of trade/transactions and thus gives them the freedom to live out who they are while making money.

Benefits:-
- Sellers don’t need a fixed physical location to function on the store. You don’t need to have a brick-and-mortar store or be in the same location twice. You just tap a switch and whoever is around a two mile radius can see what you’re selling.

- Real Human connection: Human beings want to connect. What’s currently happening is that customers get deliveries or get driven around by cogs of a nameless entity. With Spreebie, customers are NAVIGATED to sellers offering what they want nearby and the natural process of trade happens in a real and authentic way.

- Fluidity of roles: We don’t divide people up into false dichotomies. Gen-Z is uniquely acculturated to that to adaptive thinking - this is why our service has no divisions or switches between sellers and buyers; you can sell, buy or do both however and whenever you please.

- Vastly Reduced Transaction Charge On Cashless Payments: With Spreebie sellers and customers can choose to use cash for transactions or they can use cashless payments. With cashless payments, we DON’T rip them off. We only charge 2% of the sale compared to everyone else who’s between 10 and 30%.

I know this is a silly question and probably argued already over the years.

But can't and shouldn't this be solved by some mechanism? Like, some umbrella "native-web-1" meaning that any project without that tag renders 2020 and below whilst anything with it as a brand new shiny implementation.

It would also help prevent the relentless "wow I really like that 2024 feature, lets make a shit version now today and another 7 over the years so that everyone is stuck with a dependency which doesn't even follow the specification" (promises etc)
The Chrome team probably runs some kind of automated conformance tests over various popular websites, so absent other information it would be simpler to assume that's where this data point comes from.

(Though with that said, 80% seems surprisingly low. I can't think why a site would cancel a scroll event besides scrolljacking, and while that's getting more common surely it can't be on 20% of all sites?)
Yikes, you are such a loser.

Yeah, Eltechs makes between $12 and $50 from you.

Oh, you mean for you? It's not clear if there are. You possibly save time trying to configure everything (qemu, storage for disk images, installing an OS under qemu, configuring the OS for OpenGL acceleration under qemu), so that might be worth it if you don't have the time or don't want to learn how to do it yourself.
What I see is that you don't understand statistics. And, rather than offer a snide comment, I will try to show you why. Here are the two statements you quoted:

> He explicitely did not say (nor mean) that a woman can't be a good software engineer.
> Just that on average, more men than women will show the features needed for software engineers.

Rephrased:

a) a woman can be a good software engineer
b) on average, more men possess the skill set required for a software engineer

There is no contradiction between a) and b) whatsoever, since a) is about an individual and b) is about average features of different groups.

Of course, one may argue about the veracity of either a) or b). But, regardless of their factual accuracy, you did not make the point you think you did.

Downvote if you want. Being smart in programming or business stuff doesn't mean you understand linguistics. Organic language does not adhere to logical rules.

Many people (who don't actually study language or the evolution thereof) jump to a Prescriptivist viewpoint at first. Dictionaries follow actual English usage, not the other way around (Descriptivist).

I can't fault you; in order to teach English a prescriptivist mindset naturally has to be applied. So we teach Standard English's rules.

However, go compare various English style guides and tell me if they are the same.

Dwarves & Octopi are correct, because that's what people use. If octopedes was used instead, it would be correct and it wouldn't have a red squiggly line.
I didn't really want to get into an argument about education but since you asked: honestly, I see no evidence to support your point. My wife is a primary school teacher and most of my extended family currently work or have worked in schools. Not one person I've spoken to has ever talked about kids being treated even remotely in the fashion you describe.

I am sure you could find some specific examples which support your theory but my experience would suggest those examples are the exception rather than the norm.

You could make the argument that it is easier for kids to express their individuality than it ever has been but I think the credit for that belongs to the Internet and changing social attitudes rather than schooling (though maybe schools have become more intolerant to bullying than when I was young? That would also certainly help).
I agree with the comments from @ryanx435 and @bitexploder.

Leadership is definitely something that draws parallels across all professions. The toughest realms for leadership are definitely amongst those where life is at risk or the stakes are high. Military is just one such example. However, you may also consider several other scenarios which demand exemplary leadership: like hostage negotiations, standoffs, medical relief, natural disaster & calamity management, space missions etc.

A lot of material on such subjects provide insight into how good leaders managed the best outcome for their teams, while facing immense odds. How such stuff applies to your field of work, or your thoughts on leadership is entirely upto you.

The intent however is that the reader/listener is inspired enough to rise against odds and find the inner will to resolve the task at hand (in their own field, whatever it may be), while also ensuring that the team involved has improved trust, inspiration and motivation as an outcome.

Here are some videos I find inspiring. I'm from India. These are by the Indian military and special forces, on similar lines to those of the article above. They give great insight into the challenges, thought process and leadership by example.

Same with me. I mistrust German intelligence agencies just the same, even though they are supposed to be organs of my government. My stance here is simple: if an institution has something to hide from me (barring personal information) then that institution cannot be working in my interest, so I can't trust them.
