Specifically, it's an abbreviation of the French messieurs, which is just multiple misters. Maybe it's more formal now, but it was ordinary and frequently used in the past in both French and English writing. (Obviously, still quite commonly used in, um, French today.)

Though it may be part of the WSJ's house style, so you might see it in its pages quote a bit (the paywall means I don't read it enough to know). For a similar example, see the New Yorker's continued archaic use of the diaeresis:

It's not one class. It's two years of these classes. For example, in a 4-year Computer Science BS degree you get 2 years of indoctrination, 1 year of CS, and 1 year of semi-related stuff like physics. I don't think it is proper to only count time spent in the classroom. Depending on the school schedule (4 or 5 at once? summers?), the required 16 to 30 classes of this stuff will occupy 2 years.

If a person lives 80 years and spends 2 years on this stuff, it is 2.5% of their life. Houses in much of the USA can be had for $100,000. Two years of college can easily exceed that even without including dorms and the opportunity cost of foregone salary. I think you could break $200,000 for two years at the expensive schools, and make that $600,000 if we include trimming a career short by a couple years.

I somehow managed to dodge the worst of this stuff with very careful class selection and a fortunately-timed transfer to a different college. My kids have been hit by unfair grading however, as was my father. For my father: even half a century ago, an assignment to write about nuclear weapons would get you a D- if you argued in favor of getting more of them. (and in case you wonder, he is an excellent writer)

This exposure to a wide range of ideas is not just unidirectional for political outlook. It's also that way by field of study, with the non-STEM majors able to graduate without much science or math. Typically they can get away with something like College Algebra (a repeat of 8th grade), Astronomy, and Nutrition. One shouldn't be able to graduate without Statistics (a calculus-based one), 3 semesters of Physics (again with calculus) with labs, 2 semesters of Chemistry with labs, 2 semesters of Biology with labs, microeconomics, and macroeconomics.
Then again, maybe we shouldn't be throwing around words like "evil", which we all know is hyperbole (even if invited hyperbole because of Google's own prior statements). Someone talks about Google being evil, and then other people push back because it's not really "evil", and they are both right, so neither ever gives an inch.

Sure, there's less impact when statements are less hyperbolic, but there's also less bikeshedding about the problem, so maybe something actually happens in the end.
Empathy is not an abstract concept applicable for anything. It has very concrete biological limits for a kin, youngsters and sick or injured.

To apply it to arbitrary groups of people is an error. A type error, so to speak.

Winners in the tech industry turn into giants via vertical integration and predatory pricing. They keep adding stuff related to the segment they first won in. They keep making stuff cheap or free to undercut competitors.

There are many examples of this and we have two big examples in the US of anti-trust regulators stepping in and hobbling the giant: IBM in the 60s/70s and Microsoft in the 90s/00s. In both cases the government forced the giant to change its behavior and the industry eventually experienced a new wave of small firms that filled the void, competed, and innovated.

Notably in both cases the giant also got off relatively easy in the end (no breakup). And both are successful companies to this day. But they were tied up in court long enough to lose their ability to squelch competitors and dominate new markets.

Now you could argue this was not fair to IBM or to Microsoft (in the future, to Google?). In both cases you'd be right. I'd argue you don't have to be fair to the winner especially once he starts playing dirty tricks to keep others down. You be fair to the little guys and you get tough on the big guys, that's the foundation for both a healthy market and a healthy society.

You could also argue that making things free is good for consumers. You'd be right again, except in the case where the freebies are designed to kill off competition and stagnate the product category (Internet Explorer being a classic case where Microsoft bundled it, gave it away for free, then stopped improving it for years).

We have 50 years of precedents and the people at the DOJ know their history. I suspect it's just a matter of political winds and timing before Alphabet has to follow in IBM and Microsoft's footsteps.
It matters if it was a self-insured plan i.e. the company itself paid insurance claims.

There's little correlation IMO between being a smart person and being a caring person. The average FB shareholder or employee could give less than a fig if the product is making people depressed, as long as their eyeballs stay attached to it.
That sounds like a hard situation. If you're here looking for an outside perspective, I have one. If not, please don't read further.

It sounds like she has a mental illness, like you suspect. The sad thing about many of those is you just can't do anything about some of them. If a person's disease is so advanced that for example (say Alzheimer's) they don't recognize you / hate you, that's unfortunately the reality of their world and outside of committing them you can't do much but simply be there if you need to.

You've got your own life to manage. trying to manage someone else's, when they're sick to boot, is a monumental effort. Ask anybody with a mentally disabled kid. It's gargantuan. There's no shame at all in deciding you aren't up to the task (in your situation at least).

You've probably heard it, but you shouldn't feel guilty. You've done nothing cruel, you sound like you're being as good a friend / ex lover as you can given the circumstances.

When my friend called me asking me my opinions on the least painful ways to die, I thought it was just another cry for help in 3 years of similar ones. I waited to say something and then they found her body later. Obviously dealt with years of guilt etc over that but I bring it up because I think what the psychs told me can be useful advice for you. They said mental illness is a disease, and just like when your friend gets pneumonia you be there for them, but you let the doctors, the professionals treat them. If they're sick and not going to the doctor you tell them "hey, you should go to the doctor." If you find them laying in the tub unresponsive from pneumonia, you call 911. That's the extent of your responsibility. You aren't a doctor, so don't feel guilty about not being able to somehow treat the disease.

Anyway I'm a person on the internet, if you can afford therapy I say do that, similar to above this is stuff for the professionals and they have good advice.

First rule of FPGA development: never ever upgrade IDE in the middle of the project. Even if it’s a move from 2016.x to 2017.y version it can cost 2 months of precious time just dealing with some nonsense migration stuff/broken projects/broken settings.
Not to worry. I'm sure there will be a new autonomous vehicle registration fee to implemented to help offset any losses. This registration will of course be on top of any existing registration fees.

They could also use some sort of algorithm that looks at each driver's record. If you have a history of speeding, they can just go ahead and asses extra fees for you since the algorithm extrapolated you would have had more tickets anyways. If you have a clean record, then the algo will go ahead and decide you're "due" for a ticket, and charge you accordingly. Why not, insurance companies do it.

> Some people are so non-technical, that they will not understand what you are explaining to them, or why you are even bothering them. You will be perceived as a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. Some people will understand what you are explaining and might even understand your stance, but ultimately will still continue in their ways because it's so much easier and convenient.

This is a very common reaction I've seen. People don't care as much about privacy as one would assume they might when given some information about it. It's like a case of extreme apathy triggered and nurtured by ignorance. Add to this the convenience factor of Gmail or similar platforms, it's a big task.

But I have seen that there are at least a few people who, over time, get the heeby-jeebies about privacy intrusions. That's a good result compared to not telling them about this over and over for a long time.

If rootkits stay on HDDs, yes. But they don’t. There are hundreds of firmware locations on a machine. Many of them are known to be hackable. So it isn’t unthinkable that a wipe of a HDD will not be sufficient to thwart a state level actor.
Well, big cage is already better than small cage. Keeping them as single birds is not optimal though.

My point is though that keeping single parrots in cages which are too small makes them a lot easier and cheaper to keep. Less area to clean, less potential for destruction, and single birds engage more with their Humans. It's just not really a situation were they thrive.

I won't go into why the scientific consensus is that parrots need conspecific companions. But it's not so much about being happy or bored, but more about meeting social needs and exhibiting the natural behaviors.

There is an abundance of employment available for software developers; it is a job seeker's market. There's no need to devalue one's labour in order to get ahead.

Besides, you're only as valuable to others as you allow yourself to be treated. An employer who is accustomed to exploiting you with ease doesn't have much impetus to improve the terms of your employment.
Latching on to GP's context, statistically speaking, most people don't see these issues themselves. So they don't care if one in a million or even one in a hundred might get affected. As long as they (or their close ones) haven't experienced it, it doesn't exist and doesn't matter. It's exhausting to deal with such people, and most of the general public are this way.

DDG and Verbatim-mode Google searches are pretty equivalent, in my experience. Google seems better because it makes the assumption that what you "really" want is what everyone else wanted, which is annoying when it's actually getting it wrong.

It should be the same for govt asset sales. It should go into some common pool and have delayed release so you dont get politicians financing their budget via community owned assets.
Here's a quick timeline.

I did some work for a client in 2017 who was starting a cryptocurrency business. This involved buying a domain name for him to transfer to him later.

Well in 2018 there was some internal strife in his business that ended with a lawsuit being started. The opposing party started sending subpoenas to Namecheap asking for all information from 2018 onwards in relation to his account. What ended up happening was they released all of my information about my purchases, domains, personal information(anonymized credit card info, my actual physical address, information about my other unrelated clients domains, etc.)... going back to the start of my account.. several years worth of data prior to 2018. All clearly out of scope of the subpoena they were served.

Not only that, Namecheap never notified me of this.. in violation of their own privacy policy. They're supposed to notify their customers of the release of their information in relation to subpoenas by email or certified mail. Instead I found out much later from my previous client when he was given a copy of all of my information. And presumably his opposing parties in the crypto space were also given all of my information.

Seems kind of messed up to release all of that erroneously, without warning... especially to shady people in the crypto space.. you know, with people getting kidnapped over this stuff.

TL;DR Namecheap will drop your info, even if you paid to protect it as soon as they're given a single demand letter. And they won't stop at just giving up the info that's asked for (with 0 fight and 0 notification to you) there's a chance they'll release ALL of your account information.
"the most..." what? Is that an add-your-own-ending quote for reflecting on personal philosophy? :).

It's definitely not easier to manually set a timer than it is to use Siri. Also, you can do multiple timers at once and they follows you around (versus being screamed at because the timer in the kitchen is beeping and no-one has noticed for half an hour and now the fire alarm is going off).
I can understand your dissatisfaction with their choice of closed on top of open, but I’d encourage you to give it a whirl. I switched early last year because I was growing wary of Google and wanted to see if Opera was faster. Sure enough, it’s impressively fast and has all the built in things that I want. I’m quite impressed with their latest improvements and really enjoy using it. I’d be hard pressed to switch to anything else right now.
Your numbers for that station include inter-city rail, commuter rail, and subway lines. My numbers were only for Amtrak (inter-city rail). If everything is included, then Penn Station serves about 600k passengers per day.

I have my doubts we will ever see a monopoly broken up again. Mainly I attribute that to the lobbying power of all monopolies. If Company A is getting investigated, it is in the interest of Companies B through Z to not have Company A broken up lest it gives the gov't the idea to come after them next.

Also, what's the point of the break up? Look at how AT&T was broken into the Baby Bells. After a number of years, ATT formed from merging all of the Baby Bells back into the same company again (minus the ampersand).

I’m very sympathetic to your situation, delivering software that’s this popular can’t be easy however in this case it’s really not that hard ...

When I’m doubt, Google should err on the side of privacy.

That’s the safe way to go. And in this case you can clearly see that some people will freak out if their browser syncs their history to the wrong identity or that it syncs at all.

For me Namecheap just dumped all of my personal account information to some random lawyer who wasn't even suing me, but someone else. And a lot of the information they released wasn't even within the date range specified in the subpoena!

Tidelift is insanely exciting and I can't wait for this to be the primary way open source software is built, sustained, and matured.

Funding for open source is a crucial topic for everyone here. Nadia Eghbal's lemonade-stand [1] - A handy guide to financial support for open source - shows the myriad of solutions that have existed over the years, and none have really stood out.

Unlike foundations who spend significant portions of their funding on executives and other services for a narrow subset of the OSS ecosystem, Tidelift is doing something novel by doing something simple. Make it easy for companies to buy a subscription to open source software that carries added commercial benefits [2] and then take that money and pay the maintainers. That's it.

For companies and maintainers alike, this seems ideal.
