Well I haven't noticed any of those either, ever. Its true I didn't look for it specifically, but anywhere outside US this would stick out at least a bit, especially for a space nut like me. And I also include all the travelling I ever done, on 6 continents, sometimes for months in a row when you mean tons of folks including US citizens.

Contesting a charge is a primary feature of credit cards — at least in the US. There’s a prominent link when I login to my credit card account allowing me to contest any charge, and a litany of reasons which you can then select from, ranging from “I don’t recognize / didn’t make this charge” to “Item was not delivered”, “Item was returned”, etc.

Every topic has plenty of literature published. Scantron was founded in 1972. Self-directed learning has always existed. CS isn't special.

A bachelor's degree once meant more than passing a sufficient number of tests. Now that everyone treats it like a ticket to employment, it barely even means that.
Lots of ways. Typically people meet through conferences, where high-impact work is published. It's also not uncommon for researchers to cold-email each other based on mutual interest or friend-of-friend connection. Things like Google Scholar can be used to get emails about when your papers get cited, so this can spur some discussion / collaboration as well.

Honestly, you could email an author on this paper and they would probably tell you directly.

This is not to undermine what the article says, but I think I am lucky that my kids have access to a nice environment that allows playtime the way we think it should be. I live in a condo in Bangalore, and one thing that is very common in condos here is that kids play in the common areas and elders also meet every evening starting 5PM(ish), until sundown. This is the only reason why I have declined job opportunities elsewhere that may have given me better financial rewards, but would have taken away the above from my family (kids and ageing parents).

I would be very careful on this one.

Some providers are interestingly stubborn when it comes to charge backs and can hold on to the (fraudulent) vendors side even if you're clearly right.

Monzo in the UK is a prime example for that. An internet vendor charged me more than he should and refused to void the transaction (basically text-book fraud) and I filled for a charge back with monzo. I was extremely confident that it wouldn't take much however monzo customer service resisted to help.

The monetary value wasn't much however in the end I perfectly understood that this "protection" does not exist on the credit card issuer/bank side of things.

Be careful.

I’ve never had a credit card of mine report a chargeback, and if they ever did I would cancel the card immediately.

Mostly chargebacks are for actual fraudulent use of the card, and the process also includes getting a new card number.

Lately, most chargebacks I’ve done have actually been issued by the card itself after they detected suspicious activity and sent me a text alert asking about specific charges.

In one case, it was a debit card which I had received in the mail, activated, and never used and had never left the house. That one was particularly bizarre and I let them know something was very wrong there.

No, disputed charges must not be reported to any credit register, Schufa or other. Only undisputed charges or court-certified decisions can be entered into a credit register. Even the repeated threat of reporting the charge to the credit register is illegal in many cases [1].

Olive oil is not a healthy fat (as much as I'd love it to be) -- it's got a substantial amount of saturated fat, and the interviewer is correct -- it's very easy to get a lot of empty calories with oil.

Aside from that, weight is not the only issue. A high fat diet (even a vegan one) is not good for your cardiovascular system.

There's a widely quoted study by high-fat diet proponents comparing two groups eating a high-fat Mediterranean diet (one with olive oil, one with nuts) to a "low fat" control group: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1200303?query=re...

This study can't really be used to advocate a high fat diet, though, because all the diets (even the control group) were actually high fat. Looking at page 28 of the appendix (https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa1200303/suppl_f...) shows that the fat intake of all three groups was really very similar -- about 41% calories from fat for the olive oil and nut groups, but only...37% fat from the control group. 37% calories from fat is not "low fat".

On the other hand, a true low fat diet, with fewer than 10% of calories from fat, has been shown to actually reverse the progression of heart disease: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7500065 (this was one of the first studies to demonstrate this, but they've repeated this with larger groups and gotten the same results)
While I hate the Schufa with a passion, it is not as clear-cut and automated as you make it seem. Before anyone can do shit with your Schufa score (or the other smaller credit reporting agencies arvato infoscore and Creditreform), they have to formally remind you of the debt that you have due to the charge-back before, and you can always contest fraudulent entries at the credit reporting agencies.

Additionally, you can and should file a police report for fraud when hit with such a scheme, it makes dealing with your card-issuing bank and the CRAs so much easier.

Yes, it's bad to cut down rainforests to raise beef, just like it's bad to cut down rainforests to make palm oil. That's not really a knock against raising cows in natural grassland, though.

Re GHGs, you have to weigh the methane against the carbon sequestration the cows promote.

These guys are working with local (to me) farms to study and enhance that:

https://www.marincarbonproject.org/about

It also just doesn't seem to me, on a gut level, that having 90 million cows in the US is our main problem (especially compared to historical levels of 20 million bison). I think we should be much more focussed on the 20 million barrels of oil a day we're burning through (compared to historical levels of basically 0).
>If you cannot be honest in the work place then its a hostile work environment...

Not sure I would go that far. I mean how many people are honest about how they feel about their boss? But is that "dishonesty" or just "professionalism".

I'd say that you have to be professional. There should be some sort of a sanctioned mechanism or forum for giving professional criticism.

But yeah, if all a guy or gal wants to do is spout off some expletive laden rant, then that's not really helpful for anyone. Least of all the other employees.

Who decides which sites have "real" news and which sites have "fake" news?
A big thing missing from these discussions is the history of propaganda. I think a lot of people who are worried about "fake news" need to research that term.

Propaganda is still very prevalent especially as far as war goes. Do people really think that CNN tells them the real reasons for going to war? They will say whatever the Pentagon tells them. Why? Because no one is going to risk their lives and kill other people for some technical, strategic reason or just as part of a larger military campaign. People risk their lives to fight the "bad guys" who are "evil". They need to believe its a moral cause.

Sure, I wrote a contrived example. But the onus, I think, is on the critics in this thread to provide the theory of legal ethics under which attorneys should refrain from advancing the most effective defense of their clients if doing so might cause public relations concerns.

Had they argued that the Obama-era rules didn't apply to this case for some reason, I would've agreed with you. But the argument is that those rules should be overruled. That is precisely arguing that your preferred outcome for this case should be "extrapolated to wider society", as you put it.

I read his book where he talks about this. It makes some sense: you can operate at varied scales if you have shared fictions.

When you meet a complete stranger, you're both members of the human race, sharing a desire for a better future. Meet a fellow countryman, and there are songs and stories that bind you together. Work for the same company and there's internal culture as well as the glorious leader you both work for. Support the same football team and you both remember that night in Istanbul. You were sitting at home in Liverpool, he was in Malaysia.

Hard to tell as with anything historical whether this is the most convincing explanation though. I'm sure there's other things that separate us from the animals? But a compelling enough story and he tells it well.

No, it's not that clear cut. This is the relevant text:

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

Specifically, section 1 (b) and all of section 4. Deliveroo clearly needs location data; that they happen to be sending it to Braze is fine if they signed a DPA. So the question is, is the data sent to Braze exclusively for marketing? More critically: If it is collected regardless of consent, does processing still follow consent? (Collecting and processing of data are two different things)

As I said there's probably a good case to be made that the data sent is too accurate.

I'll note that I'm a bit cynical here since these are fairly minor issues compared to the much more egregious shit GDPR sets out to fix. There's definitely a potential cleanup there, but like, every single company has nasties like these hiding under the carpet. The regulation itself doesn't help these cases much unless people act on them and demand the cleanup.

I now eat and stop. I changed my diet and I am never really full again, I know I wont be hungry, but I am definitely not full.

Pianos used to have a pedal that causes the hammer strike only one string. The pedal is still there and still called Una Corda but usually doesn't do real single string activation anymore.
This is also not the same as a Una Corda piano that has only one string per note because in a regular piano sympathetic string resonance is a significant contributor to the sound.
I'm not convinced people aren't just legitimately working a lot harder.

When I went to university graduating in 2007, so just before the crash but not really very long ago, everyone was pretty chilled out about their courses. Nobody did internships. As long as people weren't failing they were relaxed and enjoyed themselves. Getting a 2:2 was a bit of banter rather than a serious threat to your ability to ever get a good job.

Now when I see students they are laser focused on absolutely doing the best they can in order to survive in a much more competitive world. I'd be working harder now as well.
