I reported an issue about them using SHA1 for password storage years ago. I was insulted and attacked personally, called a spammer, blocked, etc. So I washed my hands of the project, when I was considering it for a project at work. (I looked at password security first...)

It's funny, but the dev's response has since "disappeared". Still some ignorance in the thread (thinking that multiple layers of SHA1 was safe) but hopefully history has vindicated my position at that time.

China and India's commendable efforts aside, the whole earth has been affected by global environmental change: Nature Climate Change volume 6, pages 791–795 (2016)

"We show a persistent and widespread increase of growing season integrated LAI (greening) over 25% to 50% of the global vegetated area, whereas less than 4% of the globe shows decreasing LAI (browning)."

"CO2 fertilization effects explain 70% of the observed greening trend, followed by nitrogen deposition (9%), climate change (8%) and land cover change (LCC) (4%). CO2 fertilization effects explain most of the greening trends in the tropics, whereas climate change resulted in greening of the high latitudes and the Tibetan Plateau. LCC contributed most to the regional greening observed in southeast China and the eastern United States."
Good. Dumping American trash in Malaysia isn't any better than emptying your kitchen trash can on your bedroom floor.

Is your point that the US is worse?

Because, yes, the US absolutely needs to lower its carbon output immediately and drastically.

Note that there are lots of other democratic countries doing far better than the US and China.

Well, you can start to plan and then leave, you probably don't have to leave on the spot. Do you have any faith that the product will do good? Having competition is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that there is a market for whatever you are doing.
So many people are grossly unaware of nuclear power and it's potential vs its risks. Many people in the USA live much closer to a nuclear power plant than they realize. It has huge potential but its scare factor keep it from widespread adoption.
Rare Dreamcast-Powered Sega Fish Life Preserved and Released by Musée Bolo
I was a contractor at Google and I thought they treated me VERY well, with most of the perks that come with the office (food, activities, music room, gym, etc). They even let me work on a 20% project during office hours.

Then I got a new manager, new policies were enacted, they canned my project, and they took away my access to Memegen. Memegen was the last straw, so I left.

Anyway, Google had good reason to use contractors. Their hiring standards and policies makes it extremely difficult and costly to hire people, and many jobs there typically only have a retention rate of about 9-12 months, or just isn't "involved" enough to demand a FTE position, or needs to be scaled up more quickly than they can hire for. It just isn't worth it to go through the full Google process for jobs like that.
And so the cycle of the industrial revolution goes, wrecking every country in its wake ....

I agree that seems likely, but the cost effectiveness of solar tech, mass transit etc. make me hopeful that Africa will take a different path to economic development.

I think a lot of right wingers in North America would say that regulations such as taxing carbon, or providing government incentives to solar or wind farms would be considered a socialist centrally planned catastrophe. I mean, that's what the 'Green New Deal' is all about, and apparently American right wing nuts think that's communism.
And 80% or more of what a primary care doctor does can comfortably be done by any decent nurse practitioner. We should be encouraging the training of many more nurse practitioners to take this load.

Wait, what? I think you means the opposite. If it's got CORS enabled, then you can't do anything unless the request is originating from the relevant domain.

Anyway, do not rely on firewalls (and CORS is a firewall) as the sole security measure. Do not create unauthenticated endpoints unless you want everybody to use them.
Because it isn't crazily expensive like SF, people got good mindset and I see a lot of potential for growth.

An analysis of Ad revenue vs. browser-based crypto mining revenue
Financial security is a huge hurdle, and it’s one of the few things you can’t “fake till you make it”. It means something different to everyone, but it should mean six to twelve months minimum of living without an income will not crush you. When I co-founded Eager, it took us six months to raise pre seed funding, and it honestly felt quick in hindsight. My wife and I had well over a year of savings to pull from, and so we didn’t have to go into debt while I founded the company.

You have 1,000 other things you’ll stress about starting a startup. Not worrying about paying rent and feeding yourself is a big one to check off.
Just from a first look, the caption of the figure references Figure 5 in Haustein et al 2019 [1]. You can see that this figure is way more detailed and includes a confidence interval. This article is clearly not a scientific publication but aimed at a broader audience. As for your other questions about the details of the methods used to gather and analyse this dataset, I am sure you can find plenty of information in the actual paper and references therein.

Generally speaking however let me comment that you will not be able to formulate a meaningful critique of the nitty gritty details you inquire about without the equivalent experience of at least a PhD in the specific subfield.

Perhaps not the answer, but I noticed that a lot of people don't know that urgent care exists and go to emergency room even if their issue would be handled better, cheaper and faster at urgent care facility. It doesn't help when medical staff will also direct people to emergency room instead of urgent care when their office is closed.

There is also a law (that was good intended, but causes more issues) that ER can't reject anyone who comes to ER, no matter what the issue is.

Anyway when seeing doctor depending on urgency you should ask for same day appointment, if it is weekend or same day appointment is not available you go to urgent care. Even if you have terrible pain if it is not threatening your life urgent care is better.

If you have something that threatens your life (you shouldn't go to urgent care of you have problems breathing, bleeding etc), but also broken bones, giving birth go to ER. Anything that calling an ambulance doesn't feel like an overkill.
This is going to get a lot worse as boomers consume more and more healthcare resources.
As the scale of a program increases, the probability that someone will do something wrong increases polynomially. Consequently, as web sites got larger and larger, the probability that some component would break the XML goes up quickly. This is a difficult pattern to deal with, pushing up the skill floor required, and as HTML5 shows, it isn't even all that necessary.

There was also similar exposure from the data side; as the amount of data you handled increased, the odds that some data would tickle some code path that you didn't even know could blow up went up. You write your news front page in XHTML, and everything seems fine for six months, until someone finally includes an ampersand in their headline, and your entire front page crashes for two hours (not in any way monitoring will pick up, either, so you're getting customer reports), and it takes you hours to discover that someone was passing through the headline (and just the headline!) unencoded.

The problem isn't XHTML's rigidity per se; personally I'm inclined more in that direction myself. The problem is when you have a ton of sloppy systems working together (MySQL, old HTML generation code, plugins from third parties your don't control, open source written by people whose belief in their understanding of HTML exceeds their actual understanding, decade-old internal databases with poor validations and unknown provenance, and so on and so on indefinitely), and then trying to suddenly, at the last minute, couple that big sloppy pile of technology to a strict technology at the last second. That sudden mismatch there at the end was a huge problem.

One of the reasons I tend to prefer being as strict as possible is that in general, starting with existing strict-tech and adding sloppy-tech to it is no big deal; the sloppy tech doesn't complain that it only gets a subset of possible data it will accept. And if you need to couple to strict-tech, you still can. But if you start with a sloppy-tech system and for some reason need to couple it to a strict-tech system... prepare for some long nights and blown deadlines. So, professionally, the correct default is to choose strict-tech whenever possible. But XHTML forced that at almost the worst possible place.

Oh, it's politicized all right. Reforming America's health care system has been one of the biggest political fights of the last decade. At this point it's ideological, and in the era of fake news, ideology beats facts.
I'm in Quebec, so it can be different, but when my SO had a burnout, all the doctors we saw said that there was no diagnosis for "burnout" and they had to declare it as a clinical depression. I guess it's different here because the government insurance is involved, but that was an issue for us.

Maybe she did have a depression though, it was quite a bit of work just to get a work leave for her, we had to see so many doctors. We didn't push to further afterwards and now that she no longer work at the same place, she is much better.

They aren't. The majority of TVCs at Google are call center workers, cafe staff, janitors, security guards, receptionists, etc. They work for companies like Adecco, Restaurant Associates, and various other staffing firms.

These articles always get it wrong by completely failing to distinguish who exactly the TVCs are. They'll interview a less common white collar contractor but then use numbers for total contractors. A decisive majority of the actual white collar workers are FTEs.

When did education become a competition and why does John V.C. Nye want to make it more of a competition?

I stupidly thought the goal of education was for everyone to learn, but I guess the process of education is to stratify the populace.

I hated, and still hate the gamesmanship that takes place with teachers/professors. The trick questions on tests, etc. I never had the patience for any of the nonsense. For things that were nuanced I understood the reason to test on details, but to just play games, always pissed me off. I was an OK student because I wouldn't play their games.

During college I was a Comp Sci major and the Business Majors needed to take two computer science classes. Being the entrepreneur that I was, I started tutoring as many of the girls as their parents would pay my $25 and hour tutoring fee with a money back if you don't get a B or higher guarantee. In the first two years everyone of my students got A's. I made sure every student understood the material, their programming projects were always unique and I made the student do all the work. At the end of the class everyone of my students knew the material cold.

I was so successful that they Comp Sci department and the Business department tried to ban me from tutoring, not to mention that 3 students switched majors to Comp Sci and a couple others added Comp Sci as a minor. Their argument was that I was ruining the grade distribution in the classes I tutored, I guess the Comp Sci courses were weed out classes for the Business Majors. I had letters from every parent and every student, the University President laughed in the faces of the department heads and he dismissed me from the meeting, and from what I heard he spent 40 minutes yelling at them for being stupid and degrading the reputation of the University. Of course I somehow never got an A on any programming projects again, but it wasn't payback, even as a senior when in one class I wrote everyone else's programs for them, just to prove a point, everyone else got an A, I got a C+.

Education is not about learning, it'a a business, just like health care isn't about making people healthy, it's about profit and loss.

Vigilance includes actively following politics (not just the sensational BS headlines in TV news and newspapers, but the real deal), marching and demonstrating when needed, participating in your preferred party and making sure the right people get its nomination, and so on.

Don't just "write your congressman" about issues, for they could not care less. Write online, influence others, organize, and make them care (whatever your politics, this is just so the politics are closer to what people want, not so that the politics are "the right politics", which doesn't exist).

CSS grid, where were you 15+ years ago?

CSS was such a mess for so long because of the complete lack of a consistent easy-to-understand layout mechanism. This has spawned the creation of countless workarounds and javascript gizmos, JUST SO you could stick something on a webpage where you want to go and have it behave in a sane way under resize and different browsers.

I welcome CSS grid, it reminds me of the sane layout managers we're used to from writing desktop applications. It makes me wonder why we had to wait so long for this functionality to be part of the CSS standard.

As for the generator, I think it's nice. Most folks will get the hang of banging out arbitrary css grid layouts very quickly. This tool will accelerate that for many.
I think the argument isn't so much that "everyone needs to be able to push to production" as much as "more than one person should be able to push to production". Bus factor is an important variable.
You either learn the material and get the questions on the tests correct, complete projects that work, write essays that make sense, etc.. or you do not.

In the case of writing & humanities often the problem is that it is a lot more difficult to tell a correct answer from an incorrect answer. It could be as subtle as the students writing not matching with the professor's political bent.

But for STEM it is way more clear. Wrong answers on a math test are wrong. Software projects that don't compile should fail.

Not sure what the problem is. If the whole class is failing either the school is letting in students who don't belong, whoever taught the prerequisite classes failed to teach the students and passed them on with a curve, or the professor just didn't teach well.
These contracted employees are working for other companies, not directly for Google. Their employer is Adecco or some other staffing firm (which I guess would vary by office).

It's very rare to see a large tech firm contract directly with an individual employee, and it would be incredibly rare to see it happen with a lower paid position. I've never seen it personally.

>wants to uplift China

Why would they want to do that? To stay in power, presumably - the same as any other political organization. If they are ever faced with a situation where the best way to stay in power is to destroy China, they will take it; an option that US politicians might sometimes wish they could take, but are unable to because of limits on their power.
No, quite the contrary.

Just as an example, in Germany the search for the ultimate disposal place has just started over from scratch after decades of failed attempts.

In the US, a nuclear waste dome is leaking in to the Pacific: https://www.civilbeat.org/beat/a-dome-holding-nuclear-waste-...

Here's another story from 12 days ago: "Years of mismanagement, delays at nuclear waste sites could pose risk, report says" https://www.wsbtv.com/news/2-investigates/years-of-mismanage...

Excerpt: "According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, cost estimates to clean up the legacy radioactive tank waste and contamination at the facilities increased $214 billion from 2011 through 2018. During that same period, DOE spent $45 billion on cleanup efforts.
DOE spent $170 billion on cleanup since 1989, but the most challenging work remains. Estimates now stand at $377 billion to clean up the waste, but that amount does not include cost to clean sites where no feasible remedy exists."
