Jesus yes! Clearcase is the only software that ever made me cry actual tears of rage and frustration. I haven't used it in years, but in a prior incarnation at Informix had to use Clearcase multi-site. I think we lost about 10 plus company wide workdays that year due to Clearcase outages. Every developer ended up writing their own 300 line spec file so no builds were ever reproducible. Oh yeah, the "VOBS" got corrupted so they had to move all the sources to an entirely new Clearcase installation, but could not move the history. They kept the old installation online read-only to serve history. But mainly, it was incredibly slow and since it provided the repos as a filesystem that meant builds were slow too. To build the product from the top on a workstation took about 40 minutes. To build from Clearcase was over 8 hours. Basically, touch a header file and your workday is over.

Ima stop now, cause it still makes me mad.
A lot of the products from German Amazon cannot be shipped to Switzerland. Not sure why.

Google is a predatory monopoly that is leveraging their existing power in search to move directly into consumer goods.

Amazon is also a predatory monopoly that is leveraging their existing power in shopping logistics to move directly into consumer goods.

This is tit for tat.

These companies are moving into the same market, and if they don't fight as hard as possible, they're letting their shareholders down.

I don't know if it's illegal and the DOJ is asleep at the wheel, but Google isn't going to stop: They're not content with selling people's personal data and even that they're losing to ad blockers. They're getting desperate.

Amazon isn't going to stop either, fuelling consumerism is their bread and butter, so they need to be in the middle of every shopping transaction. No market is out of bounds, but they're really struggling with media and product. These were big investments and Amazon is simply not very good at either, so they too are desperate.

We consumers are surely the collateral damage in the meantime, but besides "voting with our wallet", what else could we do? Regulation would be likely required to even allow Google and Amazon to cooperate without violating their obligations their shareholders, but what shape would that take?

That's exactly what we're planning on doing, we're going to add something like "username.eternum.io" or similar.
In addition to what everyone else has said, something I'd find really useful would be going in the other direction. Just mark some keys and it tells you what chord you're playing.
Can you just stick to Ghana or something more specific? There's various countries which are absolutely not in need of any of those things. For example, more than 10 million people in Tunisia living on a PPP gdp/capita of $1k a month who aren't worrying about soap. Or Egypt, a country of about 100 million people living on $12k PPP gdp/capita, if Tunisia was too small.

I'm not trying to say here that North-Africa is representative for all of Africa. But I am tired of people making the opposite claim.
Every community is good at easy things and bad at hard ones. Shaming is an easy and obviously efficient trade: a minute of your time in exchange for the primal feeling of satisfaction you get when enforcing your community's social norms. Donations involve an investment in time, money and mental energy for no personal benefit, which makes them hard to justify on an individual level and nearly impossible to coordinate on a wider scale.
I'm not blaming the victim, most* of the purchasers are in on the scam- they think they can "stick it to big Google" and buy a product that they know isn't a real Chromecast and save $10 over the price of a real Chromecast. As Dave Chappelle said, "You were in on the heist, you just didn't like your cut." They thought they could get a product without paying for the R&D effort goes into making a good product.

If you pay less money you can't expect to get the same thing. Situations where you get a better product for less money are pretty rare when the product is sold in large quantities- manufacturers won't give up free profit margin. If someone knowingly buys an inferior product, they don't get to complain when it isn't as good as the original. "Oh, man my $50k Hyundai Equus isn't as nice as a $70k Mercedes, I thought they'd be exactly the same."

*I'll accept that a few old grandmas bought these thinking they were the real deal, but most people knew they weren't getting real Chromecasts in the first place.
Yes, you can access it both over https (through the Eternum gateway) and through IPFS. Here's my personal site:

On an unrelated note, that makes me think, why facebook won't make a paid subscription version? I would dearly pay 10-20 bucks per year or whatever they are getting from me and never see ads or get my data shared with advertisers.
Apparently you can even be denied Global Entry for buying from Amazon: https://www.racked.com/2018/1/8/16849298/amazon-counterfeits...
You gotta love the "Special Note" saying "This is not a Chromecast".
I wonder though, wether the pattern and the endresult couldnt be better done by a never tiring NN.

Just give it a sensor stimuli, and let it optimice. (Sorry couldnt resist)
>If you read the study I linked, you'll see that in advanced economies globalization and the skill premium have had roughly the same or larger impact

The paper you linked was not studying that. It was not measuring the impact of union density on inequality whereas the study I linked to had a methodology for measuring the two, correlating them and teasing out a causal impact. Your paper was simply going over the various issues surrounding inequality and talking about them.

The other stuff you mentioned is a combination of wrong and not relevant to this topic.

Incidentally, that stuff about licensing requirements being "the bane of every worker's existence" that you read about can typically be traced back to lobby institutions that are linked to Charles and David Koch (e.g. CATO). They started publishing "research" and press releases about the onerousness of stuff like hairdresser regulation in the 90s and early 00s after some of the brothers' high profile fights with the EPA. Isn't it fun to learn where your propaganda comes from and why? :)
>This is not the whole story, languages were and are created for the purpose of demarcating and separating a subculture from the majority.

OP here: More context: When I say league, I mean in terms of having a vision, articulating and executing it. All other things being equal, both BG and SJ played a major role in making computers ubiquitous through their companies. So financial success is not a huge parameter in here.

My 2$: I think next such impactful visionaries might be those who make AR and VR mainstream. Only my personal opinion, MZ and JB are not in the same league (with due respect to their hard work and intelligence) thus far.
> I believe NL taxes are in fact regressive in the usual sense of the word.

They're definitely not?

My claim makes no sense cause I used the wrong (opposite) word! Apologies, please read it the other way around.
Another of those useless sites that requires javascript to see anything and then it is so slow that it is useless.

Not worth the effort.
Makes sense, thanks for the detailed response!
I've heard people sing the praises of rice cookers before and I just don't get it. I cook rice in a pot and it takes barely any effort. The most time consuming steps are measuring out rice and cleaning the pot afterwards, and you need to do both of those things with a rice cooker? In fact there might be more parts to clean?
This is refreshingly hilarious. I must admit, using a sawed-off shotgun for resource management even merely inside a single process already holds a massive amount of attraction for me. With my track record in C and assembly, I would be licensed to the most devastating weaponry. So many IT roles underestimate the importance of good entertainment.

>Google is a predatory monopoly that is leveraging their existing power in search to move directly into consumer goods.

Exactly. Why does anyone even know what a Chromecast is? If you search for "airplay" the first three pages of Google results are how and why you should buy a Chromecast. In fact, if you've ever said "OK Google" in your life, then Google has put on a calendar item into your Calendar saying "Buy a Chromecast."

When that calendar item pops up, what does Google do? Order one off of Amazon for you?

No: Google actually has an illegal WalMart / AliBaba / Amazon competitor used ONLY by its voice assistant to get you stuff.

This monopoly is so deeply embedded it is affecting parts of your life you didn't even know you had. For those of you with sheds in your backyard and an android phone, go out there and check now: notice how it now has a fully functioning toilet with a sewer connection, paid for through your Google play store account. Google doesn't even bother to ask you, for the municipal sewer connections you actually agreed to it when you accepted the license agreement for installing Chrome.

It really does have tentacles everywhere.

Schorr-Waite works for binary graphs, storing the left/right choice in tag bits. Your block bitmap queue idea is more interesting, perhaps with two levels of bitmaps to scan 64*64 words with a single instruction.

For the naive implementation you could either use a stack and tail recurse on the last unmarked cell, or a queue with tail recursion on the first unmarked cell (that is, you push on the queue cells starting at the second unmarked cell, and tail recurse on the first to improve locality of reference).

True, they requested that Red Dawn be re-edited, so that China was not the bad guy. I have not seen the movie, nor do I care to.

However, let's think about this situation for a moment, as rational adults. And if you can, then try to think about this from the other side.

There is a lot of bad blood coming out of American media about China. It's in the news, the movies, the TV shows, the literature, it's everywhere. Unless you are dense, then I think this can be established as a fact. China is continually being painted as the big bad scary commie, that's out to eat your children (or something like that), or at least, they're taking your iPhone assembling slavery jobs.

A movie like this, would add more fuel to the fire. You, as an intelligent individual may be able to distinguish that Red Dawn is a fictional movie, with good and bad guys. And this sells tickets. And Americans love this! They want a big bad evil enemy, that their country can destroy. And right now, China is it!

However, can you guarantee that another American, of lesser educational intelligence than yourself, can distinguish such a thing? That this is pure fiction, and not a proxy of reality.

Nobody wants to be painted as the bad guy. Americans movies will certainly never paint America as the bad guy, despite the fact that millions have died at the receiving end of American weapons. In fact, I can't recall any media where America is painted as the bad guy.

The Chinese people certainly don't want to see themselves as the bad guys. Especially not when it's a historical fact, that they have been severely dominated by Western nations. And hundreds of millions of their people have suffered and died. And to this day, there are certain white people, that are proud of what their race did to China in the 1800s. And if you find this shocking, please let me know. You can find this perception all over the internet, and you can poll your close friends, and ask them what they truly think.

Anyways, movies are political statements. When you make it too real, then it hits too close to home. And there are certain dangers with that kind of propaganda. And it will certainly upset the people on the receiving end of it.

Stick to making movies about aliens and their probing devices, zombies, and superheros in tights. Or killing the evil German Nazis. Nobody will question these kinds of movies.
Netscape for life. SeaMonkey is still my favorite browser.
What if I'd argue otherwise - that download managers (including plain HTTP(S) downloads) shouldn't be a part of browser, but a separate pieces of software?

Well, they used to be, but now they aren't anymore, so you'll probably want to start somewhere around there. In the early days of resumable HTTP downloads and simpler browsers, there were lots of download managers.

I always burn or undercook rice when I use a stove. For me, the rice cooker is amazing, because it comes out perfect every time with no trying on my part.

I don't know how you do it without, you must be magic.
I did that very thing and it's working out nicely. Bought a big box of bulk socks. I haven't even opened half the pairs after two years. And that was the only mistake: I should have opened all of them and dumped them into a FIFO sock drawer. As it is now, I'll open a new 6-pack and they will be new-level black while the older pairs have faded to an off-black. And then you're back to matching pairs of dark black vs light black.

I think I got them from www.bargain-bulk-sock-sales.com. Someone here mentioned them (don't remember if they endorsed or merely named) in a previous sock thread.
To be honest, you could be totally right. I went back to look at my records of the trip and my memories of the trip before writing my comment. I also spent a bunch of time looking at a map trying to remember. I definitely spent time in Kumasi but the majority of my time was likely in an Ashanti region village. Sorry if you feel that I’ve misrepresented Kumasi.

I can’t believe no-one is mentioning the difference between Elite, WC and X-wing in terms of flight controls.

If you know your classic Elite, it’s basically roll and up/down. WC had (as basic controls) left/right up/down. Easier to control but felt very artificial. X-wing was the best of the three, where we had up/down and then left-roll-move and right-roll-move. Not only did it look much like in the movies, it was also excellent for actually dodging people on your tail.
if i am learning anything as a parent (and it's debatable) it's that my first reaction to my children's (mid)behaviour is usually unhelpful, and i should slow down and give myself time to process.

The slow movement (I seem to remember pushing for slow coding) is a good one, but for me aimed at ensuring the choice we make is the choice we would want to make.

it is very related to Daniel Kanniman (if i spelt that right)
Or perhaps we should push technology a lot further and do a lot more with the same or less time.

It took a lot more effort to wash clothing in the distant past. Your father wasn't net saving time versus today, as it takes radically less time to do laundry now. You can do a full load of laundry with five minutes of effort now.

Women particularly were laundry slaves in the distant past, it took up an immense amount of their time and effort. It was unpleasant, labor intensive, and very time consuming.

The old processes were horrible:

https://kimrendfeld.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/laundry-in-the-...

Just a hundred years ago, clothing was far more expensive in relation to incomes. Mass manufacturing has brought the cost of clothing down dramatically. People used to wear the same clothing over and over again because it took a long time to do laundry and they couldn't afford 10 or 20 sets of clothes.

It takes me about 30 minutes to do my laundry for the week. That's wearing a full different set of clothes each day.

Do a load of towels every 2-4 weeks? 10 minutes of effort.

And just as to the point, the actual physical labor part of it is almost non-existent. Whereas in the past that was not the case. Women used to physically suffer doing laundry before our modern appliances began to relieve that.

Then you get to the quality of life factor. People overwhelmingly want to wear more than one shirt per week. Not just because it's kind of gross once body oils and countless smells cover your clothing over a week, but it's also about fashion or style (which for many people does matter). Ever go to a restaurant, or maybe just a neighbor's house who smokes, and then have your clothing smell like the place afterward? Wearing that around for a week is gross.

There probably are (something like Sri-Lanka/India or Guatemala/Mexico), but even if there aren't, what is this supposed to indicate? Yes, USA has strong film industry, fueled by its strong economy and large population. American films are distributed worldwide and tend to be popular with people. There's no other country that can match USA in the sheer volume (maybe China and India). But when making a movie you don't need to compete with the entire country. You just need to produce something that's appealing to the audiences. Somebody from Bulgaria doesn't care if the movie is American or German made, it's going to be dubbed in Bulgarian anyway.
I've adopted the Zuckerberg way of life. Grey/plain shirts only and I have one type of sock.

It really does feel good being able to pick up a neutral shirt without having to think or mix and match.

I've also started wearing odd socks. Especially when they're hidden under pants anyway. having the one type helps with this approach.

Your ARR per annum per customer is upto $100k, trust me this is not going to be an easy sales to make, your sales cycles will be longer and will be challenging for even professional sales people. Given these conditions the credentials for the gentleman doesn't look up to mark and you should see more people, go to LinkedIn find seasoned sales people and engage them on target/comission basis before offering something as permanent amd valuable as equity.
Well... That is saying like... 35k simply to design a logo and a website?
I could not tell you how much a Chromecast costs. Or even a FireTV for that matter. And I shouldn't have to know the MSRP to know if I am getting scammed.

And once Amazon replaces the "buy now with one click" button with "please read every word on this page before purchasing" button we can talk. Amazon wants fast and brainless purchasing.

Then how come they sell pixel phones?

Edit: I did some googling and it appears that amazon pulled both Apple TV and Chromecast because they didn't offer Amazon Prime. Which is clearly abuse of their position in the market to me but I'm just a layperson.

Then int 2017 they were slated to come back but now in 2018 I can't find chromecasts anymore. Only peripherals for it and clones.

Edit: Lol I just noticed they're selling the "fire tv stick" instead. What a stupid name.

You don't seem to consider the possibility that the reason the developed world IS developed is because of that work ethic. You also don't consider the fact that if the developed world decided not to work that hard that it would have consequences for the rest of the world that is reliant on their innovations to improve quality of life.

It would be nice if everyone could sit back and enjoy life but then what? Do we just stagnate forever? Are we anything more than animals if we do just enough to survive?
