It's never been measured like this anywhere, ever. Don't make things up, especially some intuition that purposely makes another party seem foolish when it is actually quite the opposite. Even people who declare themselves as "job-seeking" are considered in the unemployment rate[1].

"Each month, highly trained and experienced Census Bureau employees contact the 60,000 eligible sample households and ask about the labor force activities (jobholding and job seeking) or non-labor force status of the members of these households during the survey reference week (usually the week that includes the 12th of the month). These are live interviews conducted either in person or over the phone. "
Feelings rarely ever help in these situations.

Why would a defense force put you more at risk? The world is not a gentle place and it takes less than 30 seconds of browsing international headlines to see that. The chaos is kept in check through violence and the military has a direct impact on the peace and freedoms enjoyed by the populace.

Two major nations are rapidly growing powerful tyrants with Putin and Xinping. Do you think these situations just magically go away? Military action has already been brewing in recent years and you either have an answer when it comes to blows or prepare for a lot of misery.

I've come to find that most people (in the US anyway) who think that the military only does harm have never really witnessed or experienced any violence or unrest to see how bad things can be, which is good for them and proof that it works, but it does lead to a strange disconnection as evidenced by the comments and votes.
You do not have to pay money to see which ones are deadly. You can see all the safety alert information on which ones are unsafe on the product listings[1] as well as individual product pages[2]. I've been involved in the product safety work at Which? and they've gone to great pains to make sure that this was publically and easily available information. They are also running a huge campaign on product safety[3].

Institutional sexism is a problem.

Also, the way this article describes the situation made me think there's probably other things at play too. So I searched youtube for the two people in question speaking. Karen is a really, really bad public speaker. I found her speaking style to be cringingly bad. So that's probably also a variable at play.
Indeed, several already do this - Fastspring, Paddle, and there are services like Taxamo (although I'm not sure if Taxamo actually remit the tax on your behalf, or are just an API to calculate what your obligations are).
The contract should specify. The contract probably was sided on smytes favor. Screwing even paying customers.

You can have a contract where you specify indemnification of damage in case the business ceases operations, goes bankrupt, get acquired, etc...
But there isn't much quarried stone in the Pantheon besides the entrance columns and some interior surfaces. Roman architecture is pretty much all about bricks and mortar (and in case of the Pantheon, lots of them). Many of the types of quarried stone they sometimes used for adding an expensive-looking surface are crumbling much faster than the brick.

-'Why do you call someone liar on his/her own ideas?'
We all know in Turkey, government and their 'AK Trolls'(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK_Trolls) are just manipulating people with disinformation. And this guy/girl is just one of them, not more or less.
Do you know what a knife is? A blade with a handle. Do you know what a deli slicer is? A blade with a bigger, heavier, mechanized handle.

Clearly the observation is that these robots are blades that dont need handles because they do everything a handle-using human does without requiring an actual handle. See what I'm getting at? You're telling them they should use a better handle when handles have nothing to do with the actual subject at hand.

The hard part is picking up the vegetables and moving them without damaging them, filtering out the product that went bad after QC at the farm, measuring how much force to apply to both ends to keep it from falling apart, keeping an eye on gunk and cleaning it before it becomes a mechanical problem or food safety hazard, and on and on. You know, the things that you need humans for, not deli slicers.

That's what the OP had in mind. Not what kind of kitchen utensil to use.

The US does a terrible job of inculcating basic financial literacy in the populace.

The only way that paying someone 5% of assets / income just to avoid ruination can be a sound investment is if the person is utterly clueless about how money in general, and compound interest in particular, works.
I interacted with their German hardware support twice and the experience was great.

Well, now I'm confused. When does the compiler defeat programmer intentions? If you specify -fwrapv and insert manual overflow checks wherever you wish, the compiler will never optimize them away and you will have as many runtime checks as you want. Programmer control is not compromised, which is good.
They're not surprising if you assume the ground state for every company that does not fear the teeth that come with this legislation is malice. They're doing the bare minimum they need to so they can pretend to think they have complied if anyone knocks on their door, while still trampling all over everyone's rights.
If you submitted a human to the same level of suffering, it would be considered torture, so this is kinda moot. Our systems are currently considering animals as not remotly as sensible or worth as us. This is true for food production, science, pets, etc.

Actually our entire society exists because we delegate part of our suffering to other organisms, including other humans. Be it with pollution, war, drug testing, cattling, slavery... It would be foolish to pretend to have the moral ground unless one lives a very primitive life, but I think it's important to know the implied cost of our ways. It's saner, and more honest.

As an annecdote, I recently worked on a software dedicated to study epilespy episods on mouses. The experiment induced epilespsy on the subjects. When discussing about this, the scientist handling the mouses told me not to worry because the ethics commity was making sure it was done properly. At this moment I though we, as a specy, add a dark humour touch to every thing we do.

To me the situation is explained too vaguely to tell: exec tells current charity director that he wants to talk with previous charity director before making a donation. If we weren't talking about donations, I would say that's definitely impolite, but in this case I'm not sure. And we don't have info about whether they previously knew each other or not, so I wouldn't dare to judge yet in this case without more info.

To me, this other fragment is more interesting:

>> I consistently say [...] that Karen is my boss. [...] But instead of taking that as the fact that it is, many people make comments like well, Karen's not really your boss, right; that's just a thing you say?.
It's like this: Google has to keep growing to justify it's stock price. In order to do that it has to expand beyond search and ads. Google's technical infrastructure is the best in the world in many aspects, so they decided to open it up to other companies. However, other companies don't just come by themselves. That is why Google hired a bunch of sales people. Now these sales people do what they were hired for, they sell including to the government.

Sexism and institutionalized sexism obviously exist. However, it's not very clear from the article whether the alleged discrimination was due to sexism or just experience-ism. If the BDFL of a project is replaced by a newer leader, people would obviously still trust the previous leader more, irrespective of the gender. I can easily see this story happening but with the genders reversed.

It's too little too late. At this point many people have realized that as a content creator, you simply don't want to be in the hands of these platforms.

Not allowing creators to set the price of the subscription, taking 30% of it while still running adds those are huge constraints for creators.

Sill nothing beats creating your own website, and taking the recurring payments directly with Stripe. Plus having a mailing list and build a direct relationship with your supporters without the need for a middleman.

The same goes for Patreon, these massively centralized platforms are taking away revenue of creators by luring them into a ready to use service, while in fact building your own website is much more sustainable in the long term.
It's not an "axiom" that humans have language. We have overwhelming empirical evidence that all human societies have languages. You might as well doubt whether the Sentinelese fart.

Koko did not have language because, inter alia,she could not form sentences with a hierarchical structure, something which all cognitively normal humans are capable of. So yes, judging by the exact same standards, we have language and she doesn't. The reason that you have the "privilege" of talking to humans and not to gorillas is simply that humans can talk (and/or sign) whereas gorillas can't.

This is all entirely clear cut and uncontroversial, whatever a few silly newspaper articles might have said.
I wonder how many engineers refused to build tools to sell ads for counterfeit medicine.
> Take integers for example. In java they're defined to be 2s compliment; the processor architecture doesn't matter. C/C++ left the spec open to let the language be 1 to 1 with the medium, Java did not.

There is a historical reason for this. In the early 1970s, when C was first designed, non-twos complement machines (such as CDC and UNIVAC machines) were still an important part of the industry and so it made sense for C to be designed to allow supporting those machines. By the 1990s, when Java was designed, non-twos complement machines were much less relevant, so it made sense to exclude support for them from the design of Java. Now finally, in the late 2010s, when the relevance of those machines has shrunk even further (although ones-complement Unisys mainframes still exist even today), it makes sense to remove that support from the C standard, even though it made a lot of sense when C was first designed.
PR firms/people don’t die. They just reincarnate.
Wealth/power/fame don't change who people are, they just allow them to express it unconstrained.

For fame and fortune as an artist, though, the chances of "making it" are so remote that the proportion of sober and rational people who choose to take the first steps down that path has to be rather low, and that of the ones that just keep going down the path even lower.

Top financial challenges faced by startups and ways to overcome
That's an interesting point. At the moment, I wouldn't give ourselves enough credit to think we can meaningfully tip the scales in that way, but I could see how that could happen down the road.

Out of curiosity, what role would you be looking for?
And the company will close faster. You killed it.

No, you've completely missed the point. Whether or not "almost nobody heeds the warnings" is true or not is irrelevant because regardless of whether or not they're reading the labels their observed behavior is that most of them do not give toys like this to young kids.

You don't need to read a warning label, or even know of the special medical threat of swallowed magnets to think this 'toy' was a bad idea for a small child. Would you give a toddler a box of completely inert culinary grade stainless steel BBs to play with? Of course you wouldn't. Your kid could eat them and shit them out to his hearts content, but he still might chip a tooth trying to bite them and even if he were toothless why would you give a kid even harmless metal balls? They're just going to wind up stuck in his nose or something. Nobody gives inert glass marbles this small to young kids. It's a bad idea all around even discounting the unique threat magnets pose. Which is probably why there are very few confirmed cases of kids actually eating these magnets.

That certainly makes sense with THC, and ties back to your earlier remark about clinically significant quantities of it.

For some studies, I've seen reference to using an active placebo (so the placebo group feels something), but I realize that can pollute the side effects data, and it may be useless for psychoactives where the effect is publically well-known.
Without trivializing institutionalized sexism, the author's highly submissive (almost grovelling) attitude makes me feel uncomfortable, not because of the genders of those involved but because he seems to let the workplace hierarchy completely define both himself and the boss. I am not familiar with the author, but is it unfathomable that he has accomplished something that some donor would like to speak to him about privately? Is that necessarily disrespectful towards his boss? Unless the author and his boss (in her tweet) withheld some information, they are being very assuming about the donor's motives and beliefs.

The other anecdotes mentioned in this piece appear to be stronger examples of sexism, such as the journalist who wrote an article about the charity without mentioning anything about the female executive director, and the comments made in that closed-door meeting with industry leaders. But I wish that the author hadn't diluted the message in the final paragraph by using sexist terms like "mansplaining."
Google isn’t “Google”. It is a series of siloed business units. One of those units is encentivised to win government/doj contracts. Google as a whole is wildly profitable. It’s ad platform ensures that. But the unit that is required to win multi-million dollar contracts from the government is less profitable. And that unit needs to justify its overhead just like any business does.
There is no decision there
That's what the company calls the team anyhow.
Strange. I've come to find that most who think the modern military is primarily a "defense force" are wholly deluded about what the history actually does and its history.

Who says a Creator restaurant needs to only have one of these robots per restaurant? If you have two, then you can run them active-passive, with the cold one being cleaned by an employee. Switch the machines as necessary. It ups the square footage of the restaurant, somewhat, but not by that much.

I’d like to point you to Robert Peel’s principles of policing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles

The whole thing is great, but your comment particularly reminded me of 4:

“To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.”

30 seconds of glancing at the international news is enough to see that the world is a much more peaceful place than it was in the early 20th century, say.

It is definitely necessary to have a military, even if only as a deterrent, but it can also be counter-productive to depend on the military too much. Those aren’t contradictory statements.
I second this. Just do it yourself with a cron job. It can be really simple in the beginning, and very flexible later when you need it. As your business grows, your charging can quickly get complicated. Think custom subscriptions with conditional coupons, multi-currency, custom pro-rating, special discounts with specific conditions. With your own charging solution, you can do all these with ease. But if you off-load billing and charging schedule to an external service (and use webhooks or reverse APIs), you will quickly discover you're pretty limited.
There is (at least one) example of this in Cambridge, UK. King's College built a new building in the 50's that has some windows that overhang the wall into neighboring Queens' College.

When Queens' built a new (one of the very earliest) brutalist building a few years later, it juts out over the same wall back into King's, blocking the views from the Master's lodge.
One of the most useful things the administration could do to limit imports from China is to require UL certification on anything that plugs in or has a safety related function. That would filter out a huge amount of junk.

What if it’s a little earthquake? It will make you think twice about building your home on a bad foundation.

I think the issue here, other than earthquakes being potentially very deadly, which makes this comparison a little absurd, is that they are in a sense unavoidable.

On the other hand you can avoid using SaaS.
For example, there’s enough market demand for Github to provide on-premises secure hosting. Clearly then, if SaaS as a whole is seen as fundamentally unreliable it will create more market demand for similar on-premises, or open source, or otherwise “buy not rent” model services, which I see as the motivation for OP’s comment.
I don’t entirely disagree with you, but to play devil’s advocate: do you think invading Afghanistan and Iraq, destabilising the Middle East, and declaring “war on terror” has really made the world safer for Americans? I think the ideal you appeal to has been corrupted by commercial interests overriding security concerns.
I mentioned it elsewhere in this thread too, but some companies like Paddle & Fastspring (and I think 2Checkout/Avangate) already do this.

As far as I know, Stripe doesn't do this, they only provide integrations for services that will calculate your tax obligations. (My guess is governments will eventually force Stripe to pay the taxes themselves directly.) Here's Stripe's page with tax calculation integration options:

I am not sure I got what you're saying but it sounds like you, of course, are adult enough to play with fun but dangerous toys. But other people - they are not up to your level, and can't be trusted with such toys, because surely nobody is adult enough to handle it. Since idiots exist, everybody must be treated like an idiot. With some exceptions of course, like you.
Hey there, you needn't be so belligerent on this topic; it's a topic where everyone cares about the right things - i.e., keeping people alive and well for longer.

Through my own health challenges that have extended back 10+ years, I've avidly used both conventional medicine and natural/complementary treatments (acupuncture, naturopathy, emotion-based therapies, therapeutic breathing exercises), and through extensive experience I know better than most that both have their place and both serve very different functions.

Nobody doubts that modern medical innovations like antibiotics, complex surgery and many other western medical approaches have done tremendous good in terms of curing previously incurable illnesses and extending lives.

But on the matter of "people have been suddenly dropping dead from cancer, flu, random infections, et al for all of human history", it's uncontroversial that people's propensity to contract these illnesses and die from them is heavily influenced by their underlying state of health, i.e., factors like organ function, immune system fortitude, inflammation, hormone and neurotransmitter levels, nutrient intake/absorption and emotional state - all of which interact in vastly complex ways.

It's not a damning dismissal of Western medicine to say that it doesn't do so much to focus on these factors that are further upstream; it's too busy dealing with people who are acutely unwell or at risk of mortality.

Of course when you visit a general physician for a checkup they'll tell you to avoid smoking, to not consume too much alcohol or junk food and to eat plenty of vegetables.

But if you really want to go deep into understanding and optimising your underlying health - which I needed to do, due to having impairments that conventional medicine couldn't help with - less conventional approaches can be highly beneficial.

And for what it's worth, I do know a lot about the placebo effect!
