That's only true for Schengen (which is a limited selection) and doesn't cover you having to show ID or passport to customs or simple random checks.

This merely covers having to show your ID or passport for crossing the border, you're still beholden to the laws of the country you enter.

Very much agree with this comment. It’s quite likely that the AMP pages received incremental impressions in lower positions, which reduced the overall average position but increased clicks.

The screenshot of rankings from another tool (looks like Accuranker) with a few +1 ranking improvements after disabling AMP also seems insignificant. Often this kind of fluctuation is very normal. Without knowing the baseline level of ranking fluctuation, it’s hard to read too much into this.

This is the danger of analysing ‘totals’ without segmentation to better track incrementality.

Any test needs to be properly controlled to form clear conclusions and I don’t see enough rigor here.

I would however commend the article on its advice to avoid simply ‘disabling’ AMP after using it for a period of time. There is cleanup to be done as the article touches on, and I suspect many may not be aware.
The alternative is to skip building out fossil fuel burning infrastructure and instead build renewable infrastructure with storage. And don't give some bullshit argument about cost. 1 - It's often the cheapest form of electricity to generate and 2 - continuing to burn fossil fuels has a cost we must include in future plans.

I think he has a point that you're assuming debt is the problem. It seems to me that she's just not being paid a living wage.

It's controversial, but it doesn't nullify Schengen, because these countries are using provisions of the Schengen agreement to implement these border controls. See "When can countries re-impose border controls?" in this BBC article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-13194723

The goal is to keep the existing staff to wind down the business.

1. If the bonus was tied to "getting out of bankruptcy", the easiest move for an executive would be to quit and work for a non-bankrupt company.

2. It is in addition to their regular salary in order to keep them through the bankruptcy.

Writing a backup tool and supporting an OS properly is a lot more work than just writing portable software that can run on the portable standard APIs supported by an OS. People expect their backups to preserve file attributes, access control policies, etc.

Beyond traditional POSIX file attributes like ownership and access mode, there are POSIX ACLs. Linux also has extended attributes and SELinux policies. Windows has a different ACL model, and NFSv4 ACLs on Linux are more like those. A Mac has "resource forks" which have no real analogue in Linux or POSIX systems, and a backup/restore that ignores these would be very useless to most Mac users.

In one case you ban something and penalize people for the behavior in the other case you tax it, which lets people decide whether they want to continue the behavior.

For example in austin they banned bags. They then spent 3 million in marketing to let people know about the ban. If they taxed it they would have generated revenue and reduced bag usage. Yet people or stores that really needed to use bags could still do it.

Another example, we had a drought. The city restricted use of water. They hired a ton of people to enforce the bans and gave out fines to those who got caught. Water use dropped, but then the water utility started losing money so they had to raise prices. If they had instead just taxed the higher tiers of usage, water use would have dropped. People that had a need to use more water could still do it. People could make tradeoffs, like Im not going to wash my clothes but I am going to wash my car. Instead the city decided for us which water using behaviors were acceptable and which were not.
"None" doesn't exist in nature. Every product is always contaminated by all sort of chemicals. It's always a matter of concentration. The water with which you prepare you baby milk likely contains cyanide, lead or arsenic. Just not in high enough dose to matter.
They are manual in the sense that there is a physical connection: the steering wheel is usually mechanically coupled with the steering rack, brakes usually through through hydraulics.

That said there are probably 5-20 systems in a car that can completely control these systems without any human input. Think of automatic emergency braking, traction control, vehicle stability control for the brakes, and autopark + powered steering for the steering.

Most of these systems have multiple redundancy and isolated monitors (eg, if autopark is on and the vehicle speed is > 10mph, the monitor will intervene) but there are still probably some theoretical situations where this could occur

Yes. I read this story and said this about it: https://jakeseliger.com/2018/12/14/links-the-academic-indust...:

“I had pushed for a college education, believing that with it came job security and the freedom to pursue my writing without the burden of poverty.” Another person lied to by the academic industrial complex. The problem is, the world is awash in “writing.” Just “writing” is not a lucrative field. There is a lot of this: “applied to art grants and startup-accelerator programs, and even joined an innovative female-owned co-working space, Splash Coworking” and “I had to host a 12-hour poetry reading to raise money on GoFundMe,” but there is a distinct shortage of “I took an operating system course, which finally taught me how to master pointers and prevent memory leaks.”
The Google translate is quite readable.
I'd say that's the fascist and corporatist roots of Nazism, rather than Nazism itself. Franco, Salazar and such were all critics of liberal capitalism as well, and market participation within their countries was heavily controlled and managed.

Of course, all countries are to some extent. The US government wanted cheap mortgages, so it created Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac; it wanted cheap education loans, so it created Sallie Mae; it wanted a strong internal agricultural production, so it created the Farm Credit System; etc. And the EU is certainly not lacking in such mechanisms.

The way it was explained to me is, a fingerprint (or whatever) is quite difficult to copy...but as soon as you scan it and send it over a network for verification, it's no longer a fingerprint but a datastream just like any other password, except that this is a password you can't change if it gets compromised.

Therefore, biometrics can conceivably be useful if used cautiously on a single device or a well-secured local network. As soon as you start sending them over the public internet or anywhere else that it's possible for a hacker to intercept, all advantage is lost.

I will add more context next time. Good feedback on a difficult topic.
My team recently completed a rewrite of a major system. It was approached with the following goals.

- Port from Java to C#. The Java teams no longer maintained it beyond critical fixes. Many original experts were gone. My team had more vested interest and expertise. We wanted to be in charge of this system, and we work in C#.

- Switch from horizontal processing to vertical processing. The original system would query one record, query one associated record, query yet another associated record, etc. to form the complete picture of one entity. The new system reads and writes batches of homogeneous data. (Kind of a leap from OOP to DOD in terms of database accesses.) This optimization was largely necessary as the old system could not keep up with load spikes.

- Along with the previous change, we completely separated the data processing into two giant phases: one read-only step and one write-only step. This allows the read-only step to target replication databases. This reduces the stress on the primary database, which is a huge win.

- Detach the system so that it can be run, tested, and released in isolation. The original system was part of a much larger whole, so any fixes or enhancements had to wait for weekly or biweekly monolithic releases.

Everything you expect from a rewrite happened but not to a devastating degree. It went overbudget, missed key bug fixes, etc. but we worked through them and came out the other side with all the wins we hoped for. Being able to deploy multiple times within a single day is amazing. Our iteration time on new bugs or features is very small. The overall architecture is simpler and easier to navigate. I have confidence that a member of my team could enter the code base cold and fix a bug within a day.

So I dunno. AMA?
There is a need for rule setting. Starting from rules about capital crimes to local organisational of roads or house construction. If we rule out anarchy as a way to rule this this needs some form of governing body and the exact form of those have cultural, geographic, population, ... differences which need to be respected. There is no global agreement on many of those things. How are different crimes valuated and punished, is a high density road network needed or more public infrastructure. Doing those things in smaller units has benefits, for doing that you need borders to define which rules are valid where. Of course such borders are to a large degree virtual (i.e. you often don't see the exact city borders) and not borders with guards and fences.

On top of that then come all sorts of historic, cultural, ... reasons to "protect" each other which have all complex reasoning. Power-hungry politicians are only a quite limited reasoning, as many borders are supported by societies (by far not all, though)
Wow thank you so much for your time on this answer. You've really helped calm my fears and doubts, as well as provided me with a foundation for a strategy to make myself a marketable candidate.

I've found a Multiplatform React Native To Do/Notes application that is open source and on GitHub. I think I will try to cut my teeth with RN and JS on this application.

If I am successful with this, and eventually fix a couple bugs and perhaps implement a new feature, would that be helpful at demonstrating my aptitude with the JS/RN framework?

Thanks again for taking time out of your day with this great contribution.
> But, for whatever reason, we are losing sight of why poetry, music, and art is valuable.

Everyone thinks those things are valuable, but due to nearly costless distribution of media the very best in their field can distribute their art to the entire world and we can enjoy it. It's a market that lends itself to superstar economics now, like spectator sports stars.

As a consumer of art, it has never been easier to enjoy and appreciate it.
Not sure if 10 watts CPU can work in any handheld gaming device:

A typical 3000 mAH cell phone battery would last only 18 minutes of time just for 10 watts CPU alone, adding Display, wifi, DDR, etc would be less.

For automobile connected or wall powered devices (robot), 10 watts for CPU/GPU power is fine.
And all the CO2 which is added to the atmosphere by burning ancient and practically C14-free carbon compounds makes using this isotope less reliable, so other measuring methods are required.

Secondly, and this is my preference, but there is no need to address the strongest component.

Really, this exercise has high value when we seek understanding.

You did that by getting after the question in your mind, rather than some form or protocol. That's where the good stuff is, most frequently. Not always, but good conversation hits home far more than appropriate, or proper conversation does.

Of course it's more sensible. A town doesn't have the same authority as the state. Although it's perhaps hard to see that from so far left of the field.

Your perspective holds no water whatsoever. Clean air can be enjoyed by someone actively polluting the air for their neighbours. Or water downstream.

Usually human lives are a continuous process of self-selecting our social circle to include those most similar to us in most ways. This is unusual because the two friends were so different, but still found common ground. Celebrities become g friends with non celebrities is also rare because there is always the sense that the ordinary person wants fame or money by association from the friendship, which was even true in this case to some extent (Wang proudly showing a slide show of photos with Barkley).
Marketable just means somebody will pay you for it. All of your examples were extremely marketable. The fact is that since poetry, art, and music scale so well, we only need a few professionals and therefore only truly exceptional people can do it. Why does a mediocre artist somehow have more value than a mediocre basketball player, for example?
> worked hard to make connections

Yeah, but there are lots of people who are hard, smart workers, good at what they do, but they either

a) don't realize how important it is to make connections in order to even survive in today's professional world, or

b) were told that all they had to do to succeed in life is go to college, pick a realistic major, work hard, be honest, be trustworthy. Well, that's often not enough.

You almost always have to have a large professional network in order to thrive in today's world.

And many people struggle with that.

Why has our society organized itself so that company executives win whether or not they do a good job? One of the premises of giving executives high pay is that they are getting it for succeeding at running the business well, but as we see time and time again they still get paid out even when they fail.

How is it this efficient or moral? We've got the worst of both worlds here and it's because the people getting the benefits are the ones making the rules.
The book “The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art" ballparks some figures on the Power Law distribution of artist incomes in a global city.

Making a living as an independent creative is really hard. Marketing through channels like Instagram could help (10k true fans). Even creatives who get to be “creative” by way of being in an agency where they “apply” their creativity don’t have an easy life (constant deadlines and stress). Being creative on a deadline can definitely take the joy out of creating.

So many people want to be a writer. There are tons of writer workshops/retreats. Usually they feature writers who have achieved some level of success. But the reality is that someone like Kristen Roupenian who got a book deal out of her “Cat Person” story that went viral was very lucky. The right story at the right cultural moment.

I felt the author’s definition of success in this article was ironically narrow. His thesis is that your success is determined by how well you do perform at your particular job.
