I am really open to anything, especially remote work, systems admin, webdev, etc. I took a web development bootcamp and I speak English/Spanish fluent, currently learning Romanian.
I am really trying to build my portfolio, thank you
If you fly the US flag, but claim no subdivision, one would have the benefits of citizenship without having to pay state and local taxes. As far as I can tell, registering a ship only requires citizenship, but it would make any dispute complex.

Not a lawyer, but there was an era where citizens lived in US territories.
Have you looked into 3D secure? Stripe already offers it[1], no fees, and it mitigates liability quite a bit. Lots of business owners here probably can't use it because they do recurring billing, but it sounds like it'd be perfect for you.

"Should a 3D Secure payment be disputed as fraudulent by the cardholder, the liability shifts from you to the card issuer. These types of disputes are handled internally, do not appear in the Dashboard, and do not result in funds being withdrawn from your Stripe account."

Yes.

The point of the UN is not to be a world government. It is to be a forum for the five major power victors of WWII to coordinate things.

Okay, that’s a bit flippant, but it’s mostly true.

There is a lot of discussion about how illogical it is that, for example, India or Japan aren’t permanent members and how the UN should be reformed. IMO this misses the point. If you made the structure more “fair”, the powerful countries would simply not bother participating. International relations are mostly based on power, not fairness.

I could set up a perfectly fair world government in my living room tomorrow, but it’s unlikely that anyone would follow its edicts.
this approach is also very inefficient- autoML takes hours searching for parameters when you could build the same model manually in a fraction of the time.
>It is not a disease of western capitalism.

I'm curious as to how this conclusion was arrived at.
"propaganda (n.) information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view."

If the Taiwanese government ministries were putting out information _of a misleading or slanted nature_ in their official capacity, the press and public would rightly call them out on it.
I haven't heard of any carbon offset program that results in only the richest 1% being able to fly.

Targeting airlines might be the wrong place. Perhaps the fuel vendors are the ones that should bear the cost of removing all of the CO2 that's going to end up in the air from every bit of fuel they sell.

SEEKING FREELANCER. Boston. Local Only.

I'm a software consultant looking for some help on some of my projects.

One role is for a python data engineer to un-mangle megabyte to gigabyte sized tables. The other is for a JS/React developer.

The ideal candidate will be available 10-20hrs/week with 1-2 for an in-person meeting.

I value resourcefulness, discipline, and empathy over buzz words, brain teasers, and brilliance.

My kid is using it literally this minute. You can very easily make a program where the sprite follows the cursor until it catches it. Or two sprites that bounce off each other. Or anything more complex, with sounds, background images, and so on.
I second that, I mean, how do you impress kids ... well with a robot that reacts to their actions and that they can program themselves, I thought about that robot the Anki Cozmo (company just went bankrupt) and is super fun to play with, but hard to code your own stuff, my second thought was to do something fun with an arduino or raspberry pi and maybe those big colorful buzzer buttons (I did a music quiz like that: https://github.com/chrisweb/arduino-nodejs-music-quiz-game ;) ) but I don't think this is suited for kids, it's more something for teenagers, so yeah for ages 10-11 probably mindstorms is the best

But not just mindstorms, maybe LEGO boost is actually better suited: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/boost

Right. A mass delusion by society (which is culture, the shared beliefs of a group that are not true) can create the appearance of sickness in ones not deluded by defining sickness as being what is different from the norm.
Did you post in the right thread? This seems to be a copy + paste from "Mental illness: is there a global epidemic?".

I'd also argue that burnout is being caused by working too much - I don't know how one could make the argument that feeling tired from working too much should be remedied by less sugar. The remedy is in fact less or different work, not adjusting your intake so you can work even harder.
Really? Damn, my friend.

Assuming you work 40 hours a week (ha, as if anybody works 40 hours) that's about 3% of your working hours.

Now, if that's an extra 1.25 hours of meetings tacked onto your existing meeting workload, okay, that's annoying.

But the idea behind daily meetings is that you should spend at least, uh, 3% of your time communicating anyway, so let's do some of it in a brief and scheduled way so we do a little bit less of it in an unscheduled, scattershot way.

Or until you're at the scale where you're working with datasets/queries simply too big or too complex for Sheets to handle effectively.

At my current job (late-ish stage SF startup), most of us default to Google Sheets, but there have been enough use cases for "real" Excel alone to warrant setting up Office 365 licensing/accounts and defining a flow for that at the corporate level instead of just one-off licenses here and there.

Our finance team in particular (or at least specific key members thereof) has to use the Windows version of excel because both the macOS version and Google Sheets rapidly buckle under the datasets they're manipulating in their monthly reconciliations. My team has been working on various tools and systems (mostly as extensions to our ERP) to better automate some of these things, but Excel is still a reality until that happens for all their use cases.

Magnitude of correction needs to be proportionate to magnitude of wrong. I don't think anyone would disagree that MS is more friendly towards FLOSS. But, does that mean they are suddenly "the good guys", as many seem to say?

MS is the only company I know of that actively tried to kill FLOSS and had a motto similar to "embrace, extend, extinguish". This makes me seriously worried about trusting the company in any serious way while they seem to be "embracing" by purchasing one of the most important companies in FLOSS and "extending" by making VS Code/Edge.

The world doesn't just end up good. We make choices that influence others and influence outcomes.

What seems more bizarre to me is why are there so many people eager to ignore MS stated historic policies and give them a free pass for the damage they done just because they've done the minimum viable amount to appear friendly to open source?
It seems the whole thread is breaking the guidelines?

I would be more concerned with a softness in the market outside of China. While we are still a few years away from a better selection EVs it does not mean they will spur higher sales. Tesla sells by reputation alone but other than them only Chinese brands have any good volume.

The market may constrain them to 200+ EPA ratings which will keep the price high. What we have not seen in the US is a mid 100 mile range car (130-160 or such) at a much lower price. I would be curious if such a car in the low 20k starting range would work?
I don't. At one time, my employer had posters in most of the large conference rooms with pointers/rules.

And I've found remotes to be better at intuitively following those rules than local employees. Because locals are face-to-face, there's no audio/video quirks, and misc noise (chewing, paper rustling) tends to be way less distracting.

EDIT - remotes also have a serviceable webcam on their laptop. Meeting rooms need good wide-angle cameras installed so the entire room of people can be broadcast. Employer issues decent Jabra headsets to all employees, so audio is covered - so again, it's a matter of installed good A/V in the conference rooms (particularly number and placement of mics).

Our current teleconferencing solution is "Zoom" and so far, it's been far better than previous software (primarily WebEx and odd combinations of 800 numbers). It allows default meeting settings (by corporate account and by user) and "mute incoming attendees" is checked on mine.

Another common (but not universal) rule is "cameras are ON". We want to see each other's faces while chatting remotely.

EDIT2 - good AV equipment isn't cheap. I asked about adding a Polycom system to one of our small "huddle" rooms and it was many thousands of dollars - not deal-breaking for a mid-size enterprise operation, but also not something any of us could fund on the spot. IT is slowly adding them to the smaller rooms as funds become available (all rooms that seat >4 were done when we moved into the space).
Seeing a Dip in Google Search Traffic Probably Because of the June Update
I run a small resource site (https://laravelcollections.com)

I am already seeing pretty deep dip in my Google Search Traffic. https://i.imgur.com/Ij55P0U.png

I think this is because of the June Update ( https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-june-broad-core-update/310659/ ), what do you think?
> Since mental illness is largely defined as any sort of behavior or thoughts that make it difficult for one to be a productive member of society

I have seen enough of this up close to know that it isn't society's construct, that many sufferers are objectively having problems.

Maybe not all cases and conditions are like this. But it doesn't do anyone favors to handwave some of those serious conditions away.
And let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Those specific or niche interests are often done a huge favor by subreddits.
> Any time you have market timing rules, you get picked off by more sophisticated investors looking for structure.

I don't see how this is a problem - you don't have to capture all of the value, you just have to do much better than you would have by just holding the shares as the market bottoms out. Even the more sophisticated investors are small-fry when the whole market is considered.
How long does it take children to learn to catch?
>>Tons of businesses continue to function with excel without difficulty.

Without difficulty? No, definitely not. The difficulty is always there, it's just internalized, ignored or worked around in various (often crazy) ways.
It is ultimately up to the people to decide which side of the story to believe. All the usual heuristics apply: Do they have a history of lying? Are they acting as if they're trying to save their own asses? Did they just casually forget to mention a piece of information that happens to contradict their argument?

Governments are often so awful at passing this test that even when they're telling the truth, a lot of people would rather believe crazy conspiracy theories. This is especially problematic in countries with a recent history of dictatorship like Taiwan and South Korea. If Ms. Tang can instill in her ministry a culture of responding quickly, effectively, and earnestly to current issues, that would be a major contribution to the public discourse even if the government isn't always truthful.

Also, this is Taiwan, not PRC. Very different government.
I feel like karma/likes are one of the worse things ever invented in the history of software. I post on Something Awful, and while we have post counts nobody gives a damn about them. The only thing that is “impressive” is seeing an account with an old registration date, but it’s not a big deal other than light ribbing (“how can you be a member for 10 years and not know the rules?”).

SA is organized into sub forums which are like subreddits I guess, and a lot of the discussion takes place inside what are essentially Reddit like megathreads. In the threads I follow and post in, sometimes sure it gets off topic but when it becomes a problem the mods usually step in and probate the offenders (6 hour posting ban), but normally after a warning. People don’t post low content low effort things like I see in every single Reddit post.
I’m talking about things like inside jokes that people quote and run to the ground.

> I don't know that much about Peterson, but from what I understand he would be aligned with believers in progress like Pinker, and therefore not "reactionary".

At least on a wide range of social issues, I can't think of a better example of the advocacy of a return to the (romanticized) past that defines a reactionary as Peterson.

But whether Peterson is or is not a reactionary is really beside the point.

> but if I wanted to choose a positive mention of a left-wing person, or a negative mention of a right-wing person, I could have chosen about forty different clauses.

Well, if you wanted to find negative mentions of public intellectuals of any stripe, you'd find plenty, but no, you couldn't find many positive mentions irrespective of politics because there are very few. (The only clearly positive mention of a current figure outside of the conclusion is of Ta-Nehisi Coates, and only positive in regard to dropping his Atlantic column; I suppose the description of Zola’s seminal piece as sort of the archetype from which public intellectualism has devolved is positive, but outside of the far and alt-right, public anti-anti-Semitism isn't exactly a position dividing the right from the left these days.)

It's true that the three figures used as examples of the new model at the end are left-leaning figures, but they aren't praised (insomuch as the emergent model is praised) for their viewpoints, which differ little from the left-wing figures that are criticized, but for their manner of engagement.

As much as you are desperately grasping at straws to make this about left-vs-right, that's very much not what this piece is about.
I would posit that this differs _significantly_ as it's being done with transparency and the motives for it are being clearly expressed by those pursuing the efforts. This stands in stark contrast to the assumed and obviously nefarious motives of those responsible for the disinformation. What better approach, I wonder?
Many business <.4% will use it because it takes a job off of somebody's plate and these will tend to be larger customers. Small places that deal with a chargeback or two per week are not going to bother.
What’s compensation like? Competitive with US companies? Equity awards?
But the minister herself indicates the government did just that in the past

Beside, if the press and public could and would call out government propaganda (which according to the minister is pretty much indistinguishable from disinformation) why would they need the government to pre-empt and counter it if it's easy to spot?
I've only drank coffee a total of probably six times in my life. I seem to be getting by just fine without it.
