Just look at the diverse police laws (Polizeiaufgabengesetz) in states where the Greens are part of the administration. It's really appalling and many members of the Green party in the Bundestag I deem absolute hypocrites.

The Liberals at least opposed data retention (Vorratsdatenspeicherung) when in coalition with the CDU. They are appalling in other ways.

I do not remember anymore what ElBarto wrote and it is censored now.

But it was related to the boycott of Huawei. It was reasonable like all other good critical comments that were downvoted to a grey font color at that time. I replied to the poster who wondered why ElBarto's post was downvoted because there was nothing wrong with it when I read it.

Besides, my comment was downvoted too without any valid criticism and thus it was validated.
Reasons Not to Use Apple (2018)
Actually, the title answers the question "Why don't they just do that?"

The question to "Why can't they do that" is simply "they could and it would save tons of money and headaches, but it goes the American Dream (21st century edition) that once you have a profitable business, nobody is to take it away from you.
You implied this when claiming the rich are buying all the water rights.

I have toyed around with the Wikipedia dump -- in XML, downloaded through the provided torrent file on Wikipedia.

It took a bit to get accustomed to the format, but after looking at the files and doing a bit of research on the documentation, using Python with lxml made it relatively straightforward to do what I was interested in.

I'd recommend doing the same, only because it worked for me: get the XML dump, manually check out some files to understand what is going on, search for documentation on the file format and maybe read a few blog posts, and then convert the XML files to data structures suited for what you're interested in.
What don't you get?

In a couple of years you'd be a millionaire and richer than virtually anyone in the world. And in a few more you'd be a multi-millionaire and richer than virtually any American.

If you want to carry on working for 10 years to try and become a billionaire, which will almost certainly not happen, go for it.

Edit: All right so this website is meant to make a library of opposition against big corporations. I understand now
The goal of this library isn't to fit data, but rather to determine if 2 curves have similar shape to each other. So, for instance, if want to determine if a hand-drawn curve has a similar shape to the letter "S" you could use this library to find a similarity score between the curves.
Iterate once with each other worst algo, compare the lists, consider matching moved locations to be sorted and choose that as the input for the next iteration.

Wouldn't that necessarily be slower than all other algos, and also demonstrably be sorting, and - if each other algo's termination is bounded - have a bounded termination time.

It might not terminate for all lists, in theory; you could have a watchdog to cure that I think.
You kind of do get closer, every roll of the dice increases your chance of getting a 6.

Agreed theres no guaranteed bound, that's my basis for suggesting it as worst.

To wit, Wikipedia allows us to view history, view / participate in talk, and even edit an entry.

Indeed, for any sufficiently complex topic, it would seem to me, there is ongoing and lively debate, or at least discussion. Perhaps even new evidence from time to time.

While building the Wikipedia mirror on IPFS (with search), we tried using the dumps from Wikipedia themselves but ended up using Zim archives from kiwix.org instead. The end result is here: https://github.com/ipfs/distributed-wikipedia-mirror

For actually ingesting the archives, dignifiedquire expanded a Rust utility aptly named Zim, which you can find here https://github.com/dignifiedquire/zim

Both repos contain information (and code of course) on how to extract information from the Zim archives

Activists often try to get corporations to bend the proverbial knee and "have a discussion" which ultimately leads to "commit to training" which is code for "hire me or people very similar to me".

A great example was Starbucks who sank several millions into training. That training is based on known flawed testing and almost certainly does nothing to ameliorate the problem it claims to fix. It is fantastic for the social justice activist educator industry though. At best it's a conflict of interest. At worst it's blackmail.
A system like this was launched this year in Poland, this year limited to employees and contract workers, but it's planned to expand to self-employed / business owners as well. If one doesn't log in / doesn't do anything, the form will be submitted Apr 30. If you log in you can update the form (e.g. add deductions or declare extra income), or just accept it as is - then it's submitted right away.

There were some minor kinks, but in my opinion it was a success. Being self-employed I didn't get to use it, but saw how it works. I filed taxes on-line directly from my book keeping software and it took me ~20min, including getting my wife's pre-filled taxes from the govt service to combine with mine.

The original 2D drawings are in first angle projection (inferred). The drawings in your links are third angle (also inferred). This will affect the placement of the section view, but will not change how the section view looks like.

i.e. in 3rd angle projection, the section view would be on top and not at the bottom of the parent view.

Hopes this helps to clean up some of the confusion.

The alignment of the section view is off as well. It should be aligned with the parent view:

That doesn't seem like a reasonable belief (without source) for two reasons:

1 - AFAIK, the natural process doesn't favor milk production above all else

2 - There has to be a reason artificial insemination is used. It _might_ be for higher veal production, as you imply, but I always thought this was a secondary aspect of the milk industry.

Also, in your original point, you argued that "there is no rape involved, if is artificial inseminated then it is a medical procedure".

If you want to argue that applying terms like "murder", "cruelty" and "rape" to animal husbandry isn't legitimate, fine. But let's be clear, medical procedures _have_ been used [probably since the beginning of medical history] to rape.
I don't understand this metaphor. It sounds like if the river represents the events that will happen to us throughout our lives, then our free will is how we navigate through it. So does God know that ahead of time? Can He see me approaching a rock and know I will go around it on the left or right? Does He know I'll get smashed on it? If he doesn't, then that means there is a limit to His omniscience. If He does, then my "free" choices are predestined.

Furthermore, in this metaphor God doesn't just see the river, He created the river, and all the people on it. He laid out its twists and obstacles, with a perfect understanding of how it would affect the humans afloat on it. Moreover, at the moment of creation, He had an unbounded freedom to create the river in any other way He saw fit. If I get smashed on a rock half way down, it's because He chose to create the river in such a way that I would get smashed on it. If He didn't know this, or didn't have a choice, then He is either not all knowing, or not all powerful.

This, for me is the fundamental problem with any theist philosophy that holds that God is both omniscient and the prime mover of creation, but still suggests concepts like free will and morality have any meaning. Not only are "our" decisions predestined, they're a direct result of another being's free will, and the concept of us then being judged on them by that same being is farcical. It's like a puppeteer putting one their puppets on trial.
Creating a business in Germany is not difficult (the most difficult part is running it). I started my own Berlin-based company in 2015 without speaking a word of German.

For me there are 10 important steps:

Make sure Germany is the best place for your business (culture, talent pool, taxes, regulation etc.)
Find the best legal form. It could be a corporation, a partnership or a single-person structure, it depends on the nature of your business.
Go to the notary to officialize the articles of association or any official document
Open a bank account with a German bank
Enter the Chamber of Commerce’s register
Open your bookkeeping
Register the business at the Trade Office
Register your employees and open the payroll
Register with the professional association
Choose an insurance for the founders
Most of the steps are doable by yourself. Step 1 to 5 doesn’t need external help, especially if you choose to create a standard UG or GmbH.

At step 6 (open the bookkeeping), I would recommend to start working with an accountant. They can also help on all following steps and of course for the future accounting of your company.

Concerning the country pros and cons, that’s my own analysis:

What makes Germany good for business:

it’s not hard to start a company as mentioned above and cheap to do it,
the country has a very good talent pool and attracts many international talents too (especially in Berlin),
the comfort of life is great, German people are very respectful and open, the healthcare system is one of the best in the world, and the country is beautiful when you get to know it,
What are the challenges:

the regulation and bureaucracy may be very heavy and slow-moving sometimes,
having cheap employees like interns for example is very difficult and heavily regulated,
the market is specific in some cases. For example Germans are very concerned about data protection or other topics that are not necessarily important in other markets.
A special mention on the language. The German language barrier may be seen as both a pro and con. On one hand, you can attract international people that don’t speak German and they should not be afraid about living here. On the other hand, they would feel more comfortable if they learn some basis of the language on the long run.

Overall, if you plan to open your business in Germany and you think that the market is attractive for this, I would recommend you to do it. And I would recommend even more Berlin, if you’re looking for a city to settle in!
Would you go to a doctor that learned medicine form YouTube?

I think the problem here is a bias due to the fact that the employment after earning their computer science degree is for many people not about the science part of it but rather about fairly mundane programming and general office work.

Good luck arguing that chemistry, biology, mechanical engineering, medicine and many other fields that require specific tools and environments in order to actually study not to mention make any progress in the field are all about signaling.

I turned 40 this year. In the last few years I’ve tried tech lead, Scrum Master and architect roles. While I do enjoy being able to lead, mentor and do work that can make other developers’ lives better, I was drawn back to programming.

So here I am at 40, having a blast writing C# and TypeScript, still constantly learning new things. Work life balance has changed a little as I have kids, but I can’t see myself doing anything else for the forseeable future.

Programming is an amazing profession
Broken as in, `./configure && make && make install` doesn't work?

ETA: I actually am on a Mac, but I've decided for other reasons that my next one won't be. As far as I'm concerned the 2015 Macbook Pro was the last of the good ones.
There's big differences per farm. According to the CBS about 75% of farms let their cows graze outside. The dairy industry has published an intention to get this number up to 80% of cows being outside on the field for at least 6 hours.
I haven't been on a farm in 20 years, I have no idea if farmers rotate so they can have 200 cows on a 100 cow field each day. I imagine they wouldn't bother with making cows graze at night.

While I am in a management position now I do find myself being pulled back to coding in a regular basis. Mostly because I have been doing this so long I know what needs to be done and other than updating myself on the syntax and names of methods I can pretty quickly code what I need. My biggest struggle is clearly communicating to my team what needs to be done so they get it right the first time.
- Raise this issue with the people who decide the pools and pay . The team did everything possible , if not addressed properly , one should not expect them to go above and beyond the norm.

- Communicating to the team that you tried, is not good enough, because that is the least that is expected of you as the mananger ( if sounds rude, i am sorry , not the intention).

Potential Solution :

Making a case to the higher ups , showing them that retaining the great team is cheaper than hiring some one else over a period of 2 to 5 years would be helpful. Show them the impact on delivery of features,etc.

if this did not work, ask why so that , it does not repeat again or you can set expectations saying , this is what you get for what you are paying.

I am assuming , there is no equity involved in these discussions. Equity will change the whole dynamics of this discussion.

Potential Solution # 2:

The rewards need not always be monetary. If you can replace that , with something they want , say sponsoring their Apple WWDC trip or DisneyLand tickets or something , in a way that is not a HR nightmare, would be something to explore. That being said, it is tricky and will not work always.

Cheers.
As an employer I would not care much if a new hire only had the skills of uni but not the diploma. But I’m lazy and there is no way I’m going to do what’s essentially 5 years worth of examination to ensure the candidate lives up to some self professed level of education. Especially not in a 100+ pile of applications from others who where vetted as they went by the university. It’s not “certification” over actual learning. It’s the fact that the companies need easy certainty of that actual learning or you’re going to the bottom of the pile of applications. If you don’t have a certificate but have other proof of skill that’s just as good. Dropped out of uni to build a company that managed to launch a product but later went under? Great, who cares about the diploma, you have proof of you ability.
I haven't created my own paging system but I've gotten quite far with Zabbix and Twilio. Zabbix's feature set includes the ability to define teams and schedules and execute a custom command when downtime is detected.

What do you mean by library of hate? Stallman may have his quirks, but he's a fantastic positive force for our freedoms, despite his rigid idealism.

Hopefully, someday when we see Joan Baez represented in movies, we’ll see her physicist father, perhaps giving a physics book to his 8 year old nephew.

Stallman has been the leading proponent of software freedom for many, many decades. He isn't inherently against big corps, he is against what a lot of big corps do.
While I don't doubt ageism is a real factor in tech, this article conflated a bunch of stuff:

- the first woman was called a "mom" and basically drummed out of the industry to academia. That seems like sexism is the more pernicious aspect

- especially when you consider the next example is a guy who was discriminated against at one big name company, but also found a role

- then we get into IBM lifers having trouble moving into new roles after IBM downsized. The downsizing at IBM was inherently ageist, but their subsequent struggles in the job market could have a lot of contributing factors - a whole career at a single company doesn't set you up for success in interviewing, at the very least.

- finally we have the "how will my career develop" issue, which isn't ageism? Outside of management, higher-level IC roles inherently have "squishy" aspects - you're making hard, long-term investments and the payoff takes years in some cases. You can't administer a test to say "this person is a principal engineer and this one is a staff engineer", and complaining that the categories are arbitrary is kind of silly - they're created arbitrarily so you can feel like you're advancing even though the substance of your work is largely the same because you chose to keep doing IC stuff
This is a big one. I sat in on a number of 400 level CS courses after I graduated, and a big factor was just having a scheduled place to be, and homework assignment due dates that forced the correct pace for learning. The pace also made it easy to start the work early, but not obsess if I hit a roadblock, since there was a lot of opportunity to ask questions leading up to the due date. I don’t think I’d have gotten through the same course work without the classroom lectures. Double bonus was the social aspect, talking to other students and regularly walking with the prof after class.

I still think Joseph Heller had that kind of ideology pegged best:

> He was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. [...] Major Major's father was an outspoken champion of economy in government, provided it did not interfere with the sacred duty of government to pay farmers as much as they could get for all the alfalfa they produced that no one else wanted or for not producing any alfalfa at all.

43 this year. Spent last 8 years as a manager now back to being a developer and enjoying it. Yes I liked mentoring people and making decisions. I never entirely left coding I still spent about 20% of my time on code.

If I were to put one reason down why I don't mind being a coder I think being a manager can be mentally exhausting. You need to remain positive for your reports even if you don't agree with decisions made higher up. Too many things are not really in your control but you are responsible for them. Maybe that was just my experience. I hated letting my team down.
