In places like Amsterdam the poor get a free car (Canta) and a free washing machine (Miele) from the city. It's good that they don't endure hardship, but it also doesn't give them the perspective that you experienced and they may never have enough incentive to make their life better. If people in Amsterdam had to go to the laundromat that could give them the push to find a good job so that they can earn a nice washing machine.

It's true you can't translate words between languages exactly. Nor can you translate any individual's meaning of a word exactly into another individual's meaning of the word within a language! When I think of "nostalgia" I get a very particular sequence of mental images and emotions, tied in with my particular life experiences, doubtless different from yours.

But it is not hard to translate between languages within the same epsilon of error that holds for translation between speakers within a language.
I wonder wether the weight gain is based on the glas or the body.

Both.

In the micro-4/3 system, there have been several "pro" level lenses released in the last 5-10 years. These tend to be both physically larger (to let in more light and allow faster fixed apertures) and all-metal construction. More actual glass, metal body that is physically larger = lens weighs substantially more than an equivalent focal length "kit" lens.

> Mainstream news is not information, it's entertainment. The sooner your realize it the better.

This is, and always has been, an utterly dumb argument that only persists because it sounds clever. Mainstream news informs people about what is going on in the world around them. What their elected representatives are doing. What the weather is doing (an underrated one, in terms of every day utility, especially in hurricane season).

The mainstream TV news also happens to wrap this information up in a package fronted by two or more telegenic presenters, and often finishes off with a nice feel good story. That doesn't diminish the information being conveyed. Perhaps the world would be better informed if everyone set aside two hours a day to read academic journals, but that's never going to happen.

Just remember that you can't trust their interface, even though their Outbound page says "Delivered" it isn't delivered unless there are SMTP events attached, if it looks like this, your email is queued, not sent: https://cdn.servnice.com/screenie/c1Og3TcrkLFV9Hg.jpg
The unifying lesson I've been appreciating after reaching my 30s is that in order to make good decisions, an individual needs to have a very clear understanding of how something works. If you know how something works, then you can foresee problems. You can explain the correct use cases for a particular tool. You know the downsides just as well as the upsides for a particular choice.

In software development, a lot of the new stuff that is supposed to solve our problems just shifts those problems somewhere else -- at best. At worst, it hides the problems or amplifies them. This isn't unique to software development, but it seems to be particularly pervasive because so much is invisible at the onset of use.

Best advice, be very suspicious when someone can't explain what the bad parts are.

Beware imprecise language: Germany has not had a Nazi state since 1945, and is not anything like that. Also, there were SS officers and German military officers, and they were not the same.
I guess the same thing will happen that happened to big data.

As it turned out data is not that big after all and small teams with a handful of people can tame even datalakes and enormous amount of events in realtime by now.

The point is: only a very specialized set of problems will warrant huge teams and scientific research.
What’s the use case for a random UUID? I’ve never had a need for them to be random just unique.
This part is just another threat, yes. Some of the other things he did is (portrayed as) kindness.
The MAC address is a worse problem, honestly, than that they're not random. That means your database is leaking information about which host generated the UUID, which would be useful to someone trying to exploit a particular host.

Or if you have an application installed on personal machines, it's leaking identifying information about those machines.
I imagine it's a recurring problem. There were probably some people named Hitler in the 40's that faced the same problem. I imagine Adolf too, to a much lesser degree.

There isn't one for them, really.* The reason they exist is that non-random UUIDs rely on unique information about the host. Since UUIDs are used heavily in consumer applications (ubiquitous on Windows) and are transmitted without encryption, they're leaking identifying information about the host that generates them.

* One that is better served with a UUID than a random binary blob.

I would suggest we've been encouraging and rewarding vapidity for much longer than Instagram has been around. The problem is Instagram has sped up the feedback loop and dramatically increased the audience of such behavior.

I kinda hate most centralized forms of social media we currently have. I deleted my Facebook account a year ago, my Twitter handle 6 months ago and my Instagram account 4 months ago.

That said, I can't help but marvel at the spectacle of Instagram. There's lots of fun examples of the crazy impact Instagram has on society, but here's a couple of my favorites off the top of my head:

The two women who tried to smuggle suitcases full of cocaine into Australia, so that she could fund their glamorous Instagram-worthy lifestyles: https://www.thecut.com/2016/08/woman-documents-vacation-on-i...

The whole Fyre festival debacle. I have only watched the Netflix documentary, and I know that it itself is flawed - given that it was produced by the same company that got the Instagram influencers to sell the Fyre scam in the first place. But actually that meta layer of craziness just gives me yet more schadenfreude :)
Starting with Reinforcement Learning Ml
Very very little oil (no poodles). I use a paper towel to spread it thin. You can even bake the pan upside down to ensure no poodles can form if you have non-level bottom of the pan. Use some refined oil or lard.

Goal is to keep it below smoking point.

It works to reseason the pan after minor damage (not yet rusted, but lacking non-sticky surface). I use the pan almost every day, so I don't have experience with fixing heavier damage.

If the pan gets sticky to the finger afterwards (it shouldn't if you avoid poodles of oil), don't worry. It will resolve itself after a few cooking cycles.
Valid point. I thought about this, for system apps you would be able to assign lasting permission requests to read/write/modify anything., by default -- so it would work as right now. Just like in browsers, permissions (permission type prompt) could be remembered in a cache. If you're not comfortable with giving any command full reign on your system, you could simply give granular, temporary permissions as required.

A concept I find useful is that there are two kinds of security:

-- Accidental security

-- Malicious security

Permissions help with both. Not only you don't want 3rd parties to invade or disrupt your system, you don't want users to invade or disrupt your system (or their own systems) accidentally.

A classic example I believe is an user wanting to delete all files in current directory, typing

$ sudo rm ./*

and missing the dot, getting

$ sudo rm /* #(delete *all files*)

Ideally in this case you would see two different requests:

> The command rf requests root access for file deletion at /
> Accept? (y/N)
> User's administrative password:

or

> The command rf requests access for file deletion at /home/user/cache/
> Accept? (Y/n)

Note you're not prompted for password in the second case because you already have permissions for this operations (only the process 'rf' doesn't).

You may not be particularly worried about malicious security for system programs, but even professional administrators could be worried about accidental security and best practices (if they're not they could easily select persistent full permissions). I get the impression the last thing e.g. sysadmins want is mess up production systems, and wouldn't mind a few more prompts when doing things manually (which should be rare?), or assgining scripts the exact permissions needed for their job.

If you take credit cards, no sale is final until the CC company finalizes settlements. The times for this can vary depending on card handler.

I know I use this to defend myself against unscrupulous or otherwise questionable merchants. But this can be easily turned to a bludgeoning weapon for customers to get their own way.

Anecdotally, I know over on reddit /r/ulpt "buying" and disputing or chargebacks are seen as getting free swag. Unethical in the extreme, but it works. The CC companies don't want to alienate customers from legit and bad transactions.
I was writing a long answer, but the comment you replied to got flagged (for good reason), and your reply is a lot more of a positive comment to hang this off anyway:

She's more of a talking point in some time because she cared about minority representation and gender in sci fi before it was cool (though interestingly by her own admission she took too long to address gender).

Her Earthsea books were noteworthy both because she explicitly made the protagonists and most of the Earthsea archipelago inhabitants explicitly non-white, except for the barbaric Kargs, as well as for her repeated run-ins with publishers who tried to make Ged in particular white (on covers and the like), and thereby demonstrated exactly why it mattered that he is not.

So she is not lionized for her gender. She has gotten renewed attention because she spent decades of her career championing these issues at a point where most other authors in her niches didn't even acknowledge there was an issue, and the rest of the world is finally catching up.

Even for people who do not like her niches, she is worth reading exactly because of how she dealt with issues of race and gender and sexuality. You can read her books without caring about them as a political act, and you'll still come away with a different view of the world than what you'll get elsewere. Look at how much fantasy still to this day presents the protagonists as all white, and "exotic characters from foreign lands" and antagonists as being far more likely to be dark skinned, to see why. Then watch the 2003 TV adaptation of Earthsea and see how even knowing this, the studio made it mostly a whitewash (and read her justifiably annoyed reaction) - to anyone who thinks this does not matter, I would say that if it did not matter then surely it wouldn't have mattered to follow her descriptions either.

Or read Left Hand of Darkness in light of modern discussions of gender and consider it was written in 1969.

She was ahead of the game when she started doing this, and rather depressingly she is still ahead of the game now, many decades later, and a year after her death.
for context: here's a partial view of our outbound error rate over the past 60 hours (this is maybe ~30% of all total mandrill errors): https://puu.sh/CHDxb/729e52451f.png. We see around a 2% failure rate in Mandrill requests on a normal day though, its bad enough we do two immediate retries before allowing our queuing system to start handling retries with backoff.
I've always thought this would be best. I recently saw signs instructing people to wait to merge in Duluth MN when I was visiting for work. People weren't abiding by the signs though and continued to behave in the normal random way they typically do when merging.
Some developers use them in the place of random password generation for example. In this article, we discovered why it's not a good idea.

In other words, you shouldn't use a non-cryptographic RNG for security purposes.
Cookies date back to the late 1990s, and it's relatively easy for browsers to implement anti-tracking features that block cookies except for their respective sites and block cross-site tracking cookies. Firefox and Safari have features like this. Don't know about Chrome, but it's likely that Chrome blocks other peoples tracking in favor of Google's.
Sounds clever, but what does it actually translate to in practice? And does it work?
> Only people close to me, people whom I've come to have expectations, can bring out my emotional side.

>This really depends on the film and MF lens. I've shot 6x6 Provia on a Mamiya 6 and had it scanned at 40MP and 80MP final output sizes; the latter was clearly better. Resolution can be even higher with modern fine-grained black and white film.

Film scanning is a bit deceptive, because film doesn't have pixels. You'll get more resolution from an 80MPix film scan, but that doesn't mean that the film actually has 80Mpix of useful resolution. A lot of information is lost in the conversion between silver particles and a scanner sensor, so you really need to substantially oversample. In the ideal case for color MF film (a ~200MPix drum scan of 6x7 Velvia 50) you might just about match the resolving power of a A7R III, at the cost of a substantial amount of dynamic range - film has a lot of exposure latitude, but it has substantial innate dynamic range compression.

Technical monochrome films can significantly exceed the resolving power of modern 35mm sensors, but at the cost of ~6 stops of sensitivity. Unless you're shooting landscapes or test charts from a very substantial tripod, you won't benefit from the extra spatial resolution. There's still a place for medium- and large-format film, but the inconvenience outweighs the benefits in the overwhelming majority of cases.

One issue though is the same thing people have mentioned happens in the UK.
