There are higher dimensional algebras, too. We have:
4-dimensional quaternions,
8-dimensional octonions,
16-dimensional sedenions,
32-dimensional trigintaduonions,
64-dimensional sexagintaquattuornions,
128-dimensional centumduodetrigintanions,
256-dimensional ducentiquinquagintasexions

Who knows, maybe reality is explained by even higher dimensional systems. The 32 dimensional algebra ends with "onion," so that's my pick.

Do you remember the "Don't Be Evil" campaign? Google literally rose to prominence with this as their slogan. I would expect a company whose slogan is "Don't Be Evil" to completely shun a country who wants censored search.
Can't vouch for the comparison you are questioning, but did find this:

'Germany emitted more greenhouse gasses in 2016 than in the previous year, but is still seen as a positive model for the rest of the world.'

Best thing we could have to reduce co2 would be a massive global recession I'd say, unless that is things got so bad that we had to revert to cutting down trees to survive.
> deploy to Linux. You can use any DB you like with that

I don't think Linux or "any DB you like" fall within the OP's definition of "the Microsoft tech stack" that disappeared.
It is, and it is something that could be solved simply by asking the right questions instead of the overall review on a number (or star) scale. I hardly think simple satisfaction warrants a 5-star review, but I think if I just put 3-star, it might hurt the company... or waitress, or whatever. It isn't sane, and I'd almost argue that there is a disincentive to leave a moderate review. It is the same for store satisfaction surveys and many more - I know folks get penalized for not having overly good results.

But if they simply asked if it was what I was expecting and had reasonable options - along with not punishing folks for simply delivering what I expect - I'd answer yes.

It is already being done. Dealing with old piles of trash is somewhat dangerous (all sorts of volatile gasses build up there) but once you get around this you can burn the thrash (releasing quite a bit of energy) and go through the ashes later. The ash can be used for various purposes, such as construction, but needs to be sorted by grain size first. While going through the ashes you do indeed encounter precious metals. I recently read about a company that performs this sorting as a service. They are not paid for the work directly, but get to keep the gold (and possibly other metals?) they find. Apparently you can expect to find a gram or two of gold in a tonne of ash.
Whistleblower reveals Google’s plans for censored search in China
> Why do the 1.4 billion people living there put up with it in the first place?

I have a close friend who's a member of the communist party, but we speak about these things frankly. This is my own opinion after talking with them

0. There was an uprising in 1989, and the people who protested were mown down with machineguns

1. The generation afterwards are conditioned to tie the communist party with China's new prosperity. Ie, the wealth you enjoy has only been possible thanks to the leadership of the communist party.

2. The people have no concept of how/why they would rule. It's a job for someone else. Setting the laws is viewed as a thing for experts, and if you wanted to set the law you'd join the communist party.
Hang on. The US pulled out the Paris accord. The US also had a huge financial crisis that caused emissions to drop. I don't think policy can take credit for the slight reductions in Co2 emissions, from ridiculously high levels.
They tried. IIRC they were going to buy Green Dot outright, but they were rebuffed by regulators.

So instead they took a small ownership position <5%, in order to avoid the reporting and regulatory hassles while still getting sweetheart deals.
> There's no way out. You will be held responsible for what you do and what you don't do.

And that's fair actually. After all, with great power comes great responsibility. (At least in strict utilitarian sense action, non-action, private-public policies and so on are undoubtedly very much fall under the same consideration. That is, is it possible for the big company to do something? To maximize its utility function? If yes, then they should, right? Now it's up to the people to keep that function useful for them.)

The argument is not about having complex CLI only apps. The argument is that by having a separate GUI frontend and a backend with a CLI interface:

1) Your app becomes much less dependent on the platform and the toolkits you use

2) Even if the CLI interface is cumbersome to use manually someone can use it for scripts that can then do batch processing of whatever your application does including piping with other applications.

Long story sort linux has a great mechanism for making user-friendly applications that retain advanced features via shell scripts.

I would, however, propose that once we have CO2-neutral energy production, we use some of it to recapture CO2 if the effect would be even minimal.
> Why bet the bank on a technology that hasn't been invented yet?

Because it's too late. Unless magic non-existent carbon capture technology materializes soon, we're basically fucked.

https://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13118594/2-degrees-no-more-fos...

Check out that middle graphic. If we really want to avoid 1.5 degrees, and we can’t rely on large-scale carbon sequestration, then the global community has to zero out its carbon emissions by 2026.

Ten years from now.

That article is two years old and, to state the obvious, global CO2 emissions are not on track to reach zero in the next eight years.

As someone who declared bankruptcy from credit card debt in my 20s and now makes a comfortable six figure income with no debt and who heavily uses rewards cards, the fact that this scheme is just a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy disgusts me and I wish they’d do away with it. There are so many ways the wealthy get rewarded with more wealth and the poor get charged for being poor. It’s an absurd system.

I've seen these same sentiments expressed by many in and from China. They enjoy what they have and do not have the same interest in democratic practice as the West, for better or worse.

That's why I question what the outrage is all about, when the very people living there have already made their choice.
65% of the grain grown in the US is fed to animals:

https://www.vox.com/2014/8/21/6053187/cropland-map-food-fuel...

Start feeding that directly to people instead and you can use the rest of that land a lot more efficiently. And that's not even addressing all the other nasty externalities of breeding that many animals.
Of all countries to pick on, Germany are the one doing the most to change to a carbon-free economy. Read up on the Energiewende -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energiewende_in_Germany
It is govt policy to reduce Co2 emissions by 80–95% by 2050. Germany is at the top in on-shore wind, off-shore wind, and solar. If they had kept nuclear power, they could be doing even better. I am sure closing the nuclear power plants will cause increases in Co2, but they are really trying to do their bit.
I feel like you're being a little disingenuous to the OP. He's obviously talking about the economic/productivity value of the land, which is to say that the BLM considers large parts of the country to have little economic value beyond growing grass and thus designates it as free range grazing land.

It doesn't mean it has no value as a wild, natural environment, just that from an economic development perspective there's not a lot going on there.

"...but there are more chances to repress that particular under-fitness in any descendants that carry it.."

And Mother Nature wouldn't care about that either, even if it were likely to happen. Which it isn't.

Reproduction has nothing to do with any "fitness" other than the biological ability to reproduce. Mother Nature really doesn't care whether we think an organism is "fit", she just wants more kids. In fact, the poor could be considered "less fit" in a certain view, but they reproduce the most. Because in the eyes of Mother Nature, they are perfectly "fit". There will never be a time that Mother Nature deems them "unfit". The unfit will always have the ability, the inclination, and the opportunity to reproduce. That's just how she works.

We don't have to like it, but that doesn't make it any less true.

This isn’t the full picture. It’s true that we have a national payment system called Dankort, but I think it’s debatable whether or not it’s saving retail money and it’s certainly possible to get a VISA card that isn’t tied to your Dankort.

There are pros and cons to every system. The Dankort is very consumer friendly, and it’s cheaper than credit cards, but it’s not cheaper than debit cards and the Dankort itself isn’t really a true credit card nor is it a debit card.

The fees are low because they are regulated by legislation, but at the same time, the fees are making the company that currently owns the bid to issue and control the Dankort a lot of money from their monopoly.

One of the major downsides is actually the cost to retail. Accepting Dankort transaction is actually expensive, costing a store 20.000dkr a year per terminal. Which is why kost smaller retailers have turned to the mobile pay app.

The major upside is that a Dankort works everywhere that isn’t a tiny/indie store, and that it had relative low fees for consumers. Of course Denmark being a tiny country of 5.5 million people and no real geographical challenges as far as size go, helps a lot in that regard.

China is emerging a country with a massive amount of people, while providing relative increase in standard of living and creating opportunity for large swaths of people. China has had a large uneducated population for a long time. They are doing it using a system that has often been shunned or ostracized. Western nations have historically done everything in their power, directly and indirectly to subvert alternative systems taking root. To me China makes sense: Keep the people focused. Create a modern resilient communist social structure that will stand globalization. As much as possible, keep the west and western influences out during incubation.
Yeah, this. I'm mostly using swaywm instead of Gnome in order to free up about 1 extra gigabyte of RAM for apps, but that equals about one Electron app. The only Electron app I haven't eliminated from my daily usage, though is Patchwork, so it's not so bad.

People who are neck deep in the surveillance economy and have long sold out can't suddenly pretend to care about ethics without looking insincere.

Given the large majority seem to have no problem with Google, Facebook and others, and their ability to attract employees is unaffected it's obvious ethics is not a high priority for current or prospective employees, if anything the fawning is often cringy.

That also explains why inspite of Snowden's revelations no one really cares and there is no change. So there is little basis for ethical concern about China, unless the motive is purely posturing and grandstanding.

As a Brazilian living in the UK, I have to say that this is pure bullshit.

First of all, the author makes the (very common and disconcerting) mistake of thinking cariocas represent Brazilians in general. Cariocas have their own way of life and it's very unfortunate for our image that they are the ones most foreigners think of when they think of the stereotypical Brazilian (there isn't one).

I can't speak for the whole continental-sized country or the whole of its 200+ million population but in the south it's definitely not rude to be on time. It might not be the norm but it's absolutely acceptable. I usually try to be 10-30 minutes later than scheduled but mostly because I'm slightly socially awkward and don't like to be the first one in.

On the other hand, a few months ago I went to my (British) friend's party in London. I was a bit distressed as I was about 45 minutes late. When I rang the bell I was greeted by my friend with a warm welcome and the news that I was the first guest in.

BBC can take their preconceptions and stereotypes elsewhere. Or at least make it clear in the title that they're talking about a VERY SMALL percentage of the population of the country.
Hi everyone, creator here! Try using the application and let me know if you have questions or run into any issues :)

I made this to automate a tedious task I’ve encountered before when editing videos: I have had to deal with footage that's shorter than the song I wanted to use and had to either cut off or fade the end. Sometimes the cut would be in a chorus or something which sounds off. A nice way to fix that is to go through the song and find parts that sound similar, remove everything in between, and crossfade the two sections. It works, but takes a lot of time. So I wrote a program to automate the task! I am not sure on how exactly to market this, the only use case I’ve found so far is the video editing one. Any ideas are appreciated!

As far as I know chargebacks are not misused in the same way around here.

But yes - it is available for "remote orders" with the debit card. But only for phone, mail and Internet orders. Not from a physical shop using pin code.

My personal guess is that it is tied to good consumer protection laws. We do not need to misuse chargebacks as we have other avenues of regress. You further more need to have your documentation in order when asking for the chargeback. They do do not offer blanket chargeback. You need to document your case and that the vendor is not cooperating.

Important caveat: If the receiver went bankrupt the bank cannot help you - you Will have to take it up with the executor.

From the paper:

"Second, while the recommendation system algorithm we give is asymptotically exponentially faster than previous algorithms, there are several aspects of this algorithm that make direct application infeasible in practice. First, the model assumptions are somewhat constrictive. It is unclear whether the algorithm still performs well when such assumptions are not satisfied. Second, the exponents and constant factors are large (mostly as a result of using Frieze, Kannan, and Vempala’s algorithm [10]). We believe that the “true” exponents are much smaller, but our technique is fairly roundabout and likely compounds exponents unnecessarily. These issues could be addressed with more straightforward analysis combined with more
sophisticated techniques."
