"it is the largest fire service in Europe and the third largest urban fire service in the world, after the Tokyo Fire Department and New York City Fire Department. Its motto is "Save or Perish" (French "Sauver ou périr")."

I'm sure they have enough capacity.

Also you don't just drop water from planes above cities... this makes no sense.

> That is not to say that pay is bad, or that wage theft is going on (extreme positions), employees in California at least are at will and can quit at any time to offer their services to another player. The regulatory requirement though is to identify and prevent collusion between those players in keeping salaries low.

Wait, but isn't this situation actually making them getting hired at other players much more difficult due to the collusion?
Yes. Keep in mind that a lot of the wood is structural too (i.e. the roof). It's conceivable that this could cause collapse of some to all of the building.

Going by UK prices as that was the subject of the article and what I'm familiar with, you can get 1 kg of long grain rice for £0.45 (~$0.60), which contains 3,650 calories. 1kg of lentils is £1.40 ($1.83) and contains 3,530 calories and a healthy amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins. A female needs 2000 calories per day, so for £0.67p ($0.88) you can get 1000 calories from rice and 1000 calories from lentils and meet your minimum requirements, and have some money left over to buy salt, spices and veg.

Other staples such as oats, beans, pasta are at similar prices (1kg of oats can be found as low as £0.75 and contains 3650 calories) and can provide additional nutritional diversity, but there is no question that you can meet your minimum calorie requirements with $1/day, at least in the UK.

This may not be the most appealing diet to some (although spices go a long way into making cheap palatable dishes), but if the alternative is going so hungry you are unable to move without grabbing on to furniture, you cannot afford to complain about the taste of a bland bowl of a rice.

Also, high enough temperatures can change the stone. I’m not remotely a material scientist. I vaguely remember stone barbecue pits require some special consideration.

There are also probably concerns about thermal expansions as well. The stone might resettle a little bit differently.
It's not like planes loaded with water are standing by at the municipal fire brigade ready to go at a moment's notice. They would take hours to deploy. You typically see them used in wilderness firefighting, where fires rage for many days if not many weeks.
Well that's great but it's not really enough and it's 50 years too late. Also UK accounts for 1% of global production. Sorry to be negative but we need to face up to the fact that we are in deep shit.
OpenAI Five Training Details
I fully agree with the majority of people here. Sending children to college is a purely personal matter, but I also think that when they enter a college or university a child must understand the realities and possible tests that will fall to him in a new habitat. It is difficult for children to understand the requirements in college at an early age, therefore they buy essays and term papers to make their lives and studies easier, but they do it unconsciously. PapersOwl for example quite good college essay writing service for young students but they should make their own choice and follow their way.

> I've always thought that Planck's constant defines the discreteness of time

Most certainly not! Amusingly, this is an incredibly common assumption that undegrad physics students I teach make, probably because of some pop-sci exposure.

All we know is that the Planck constant defines a scale where we do not know what happens. This is a scale at which we can see that the math behind our current theory breaks, but we have absolutely no reason to expect that the way to fix that math is to use some form of discretization related to that constant.

The "quantum" in quantum mechanics really should not be taken that literally. Photons as described by quantum mechanics for instance do not have a discrete spectrum (nothing literally "quantum" there).

There are fascinating conjectures on why maybe the Plank scale should be discrete, but they are way more subtle than "quantum mechanics is discrete" (because it is not always discrete).
I feel like "you're free to leave" is not a good response to most issues with government and member states. It misses the point of the question if the law or structure in question is appropriate.

Auto insurers have no problem covering claims ranging from a chip in a windshield to eight car pileups with multiple fatal and life-altering injuries. The range of possible losses doesn't really make it harder for insurers. The fuzzy definition of an act of cyber war is what makes it hard for policyholders though.

The estimates show the percentage increase from renewables slowing and tailing off to around 45-50%. Is there any justification for assuming the trend won't continue at a rate similar to current in the near future?

I don't expect that it would reach 100%, particularly as there are motivations to preserve the nuclear industry beyond power generation, but 50% seems a low estimate.

>Now, you can build systems where it's just impossible for even your own people to get access. But that has a high cost, as you will see in every thread where people castigate Google because they got locked out of something. Why can't Google just hire helpdesk people who have super-user access, they ask...

I don't see how allowing helpdesk operators to help users recover access to their accounts has any relation at all to the helpdesk operators having access to the account itself. They need to be able to access and update account metadata, not the account itself.

It took over year to convince her that pizza had the good type of cheese.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out legally. I wonder if from nation to nation if enforcement actually gets even more absurd than the actual law would indicate. It seems like the member states laws could leave lots of wiggle room / confusion.

You're OK with them paying you less because you still got paid well by some standard? You (and as a result many other people) would be making more both in the past and today if they hadn't colluded.

For at least some subset of those affected by this collusion the salary lost will make a significant difference in their families' and their own quality of life either now or in the future.
What about Yugoslavia and Ukraine? Also calling the cold war "peace" is a bit stretch.

If your team consist of contractors etc... then they'll likely have their own invoice and payment process. I use Freshbooks.

One of my clients pays me via wire transfer, another does checks, and finally I have one project via moonlightwork.com (awesome service) where they actually handle payments (weekly!) which is pretty cool.

If these are actual W2 full-time employees, I would suggest something like gusto.com to give them direct deposit.

I'm not sure what misunderstanding you think I have with regard to adblock circumvention.

I can appreciate that uBlock Origin wants to be a universal condom that works on every website for everyone, but I also don't think it's so damning if the content blocker API is sufficient for that. Yet uBlock Origin and its rule lists still fail at this task as well.

A website can do any number of annoying things that uBlock Origin cannot block including things that aren't even related to ads. I simply refuse to use such websites. In fact, I want to know that a website does these things rather than remain in blissful ignorance. I don't want to support such a website even with my viewership.

I've built content blockers. The rule limit is circumvented by simply bundling multiple rule lists.

Also, 80% of Easylist is crap anyways. The problem with Easylist and things like it is that they become append-only lists because nobody wants to go back and verify that rules still apply. Not to mention all the site-specific rules for sites you'll never visit because it was someone's random hobby horse. But you can absolutely encode Easylist across two content blocker extensions bundled in one app. But in doing so, you'll also realize how easy it is to prune so that it fits in one rule list, there are so many rules for garbage sites.
+1-ing on that to add also "poor" sometimes means access, not $ .

Even without the funeral story, it was pretty clear they thought Apple was the competition. Another lens through which I saw this at the time: some of their arbitrarily-removed or scoped out features early on [think copy-paste], or dubious restrictions on apps. As if they thought they could copy Apple's limitations without understanding what it was they did well.
I'm confused by the question because your processes should be in place to pay your people no matter where they are.

That means you need to have registered as a foreign corporation wherever they are working, filed the W9s, W2s and 1099s so that they pay taxes correctly.

If you don't have a payroll processing company or an accountant (don't use ADP) to make sure you're perfectly covered then you should get one ASAP. There aren't too many faster ways to get shut down than to have a state or federal tax agency come hunting you down.

I had (have) the same problem. I have realized it is rooted in me eating in the kitchen, the second the dish is ready.

If I serve it in a plate, sit down on a table and eat it as I consume some media, then it helps slow down the eating process. Having a glass of water with me also helps. Similarly, eating lunch with coworkers is usually helpful to slowing down the eating process too.
So you are telling me that not changing the API in years despite numerous requests is a good thing? Well, I disagree.

Regarding https, this change was made in 2015.
> Also you don't just drop water from planes above cities... this makses no sense.

Superb way to collapse the structure, incinerate/crush the firefighters, and endanger pretty much anyone around the area, all while leaving pretty much nothing to be saved. Say nothing of anyone that might be trapped in there.
Easiest way in 2019 is the same way you'd do it in 2009, or even 1999. Setup a cron job that calls a simple PHP or Ruby script that calls CURL on a set of URLs and saves the HTML/extracted data into a MySQL database. All in a LAMP server.

It's not sexy, but you asked for the easiest way. No need for all this serverless, or Cloudflare worker nonsense :)

I think playing a game during the break (I assume video game?) would be counterproductive.

It is not at all the same as taking a "resting" break, as described in the article.

I actually have some experience here, as I have for several years played the same video game on my phone every time I go on break at work and, anecdotally, actually feel it has not helped me in this area.

I've recently decided to avoid the game except on my longer lunch breaks, and attempt to have 'restful' breaks instead. We shall see how it goes :-)

You can cause a drinking glass (melting point 1400C) to explode if you expose it to 100C and 0C water in quick succession. Differential heating, moisture vaporizing, and expansion/contraction are larger concerns than the stone becoming lava.

Storytime!

When I worked for MSN/Hotmail around 2000-2003, there were dozens of helpdesk folks who had access to an admin panel to easily view any email and could view/edit PII for anyone with very little (if not zero) accounting or auditing. It was protected by plaintext auth and open to the internet.

One employee told me that he caught his wife cheating by reading her mail.

Another used it to recover their own stolen EQ account worth thousands.

I personally used this access to help a friend recover a hacked/stolen Hotmail account. I told them the email address, what had happened to it, and they forwarded me a screenshot of their Passport.NET PII details for them to use the self-service password reset.

Obviously not much has changed.
What would you expect planes to do...?

This is a _really_ hard fire to fight. Their first priority is going to be ensuring everyone is safe, and likely setting up interior and exterior positions where they intend to stop the fire from spreading (the areas that are already involved are a total loss, let them go and focus on saving what can be saved).

The fact that some "average software engineers" got lucky to join at the right time and a sweet deal (by some metric) does not make a criminal act okay that makes thousands of more software engineers who would join later and did not share the same economic upside suffer. Note that people who joined Google before 2010 are a small minority of the current employees.

Every problem can be solved with one level of indirection. At scale, all of the big tech report their salary stats to survey firms who "aggregate" them and give it back to them. Yup.

Employee compensation at these companies significantly tied to the stock price. So if these practice somehow outlawed, doesn't mean that company will have to spend more thus lower the stock price thus lower the employee compensation ?

To clarify - The difference between Google Maps and Apple Maps:

If the phone is locked and navigation is in progress, on Apple, the active map shows in the lock screen. On Google, you would need to unlock the phone, and switch back to the Maps app.

Of course (and to be fair) if you don't lock the phone and leave the maps app focused, both Google and Apple will stay in view.

I've found that on longer drives where the maps app isn't needed, the phone will end up being locked/away, and when you do need a direction, that's when the API difference that I mentioned above clearly shows up.

Apple is definitely holding that API to themselves, with a side effect of making a more dangerous interaction (however un-ideal) for the user.
Glad this brought back memories for you. What a lovely moment you captured too.
> Comparing the atmosphere of Earth to that of Mars and Venus has helped a lot in understanding the details of global warming and ozone depletion.

Research for the purposes of improving life on Earth may be a good use of tax payer dollars.

Establishing a colony is a whole other thing, which implies sustained human existence in a location for the purposes of either species propagation/continuation or resource extraction.

Mining things in space and sending them home to Earth is science fiction nonsense. The energy required means it's fundamentally impossible to have a profitable operation resource extraction from a colony.

They might be more focused in evacuating the place and making sure none of the surrounding building catch fire. Paris is a huge firetrap, you really don't want it to jump. At least it is quite isolated from the rest of the city.

Update: In the news they said that firefighters are entering the building to save as much art as possible before spraying water.
I find comments like this one really strange.

What do you think is more likely? That there is not a single stream of water hitting it, or there are plenty of fire fighters at the scene you just happen not to have seen any pictures of them?

Yeah. I don’t like strongly typed languages.
Yeah I think what you are suggesting might work if team follows * merge PR asap * keep build time down to n mins.

But its extremely common in big projects to have atleast 20 prs open with long build.

kubernetes has like 1100 open prs atm ( each pr with 5 25 min builds). What should a project like k8s do for CI ? would require insane computing power to launch 5000 builds for every merge.
