Agreed. I simply can't get my head around how people can be so easily manipulated into believing nonsense. It boggles the mind. But hey, I hope you all do well and become millionaires, I just think there is a higher likelihood that we will invent interstellar travel.
It's illegal for a government entity to just decide they don't like somebody without due process.

The carnival atmosphere in Washington is bad for everyone. The Tweeter-in-chief undermines his own authority by governing in the public square. It makes any counter-party position much stronger, as they can easily manipulate the emotions of the president, and the negotiators on the ground have very little leverage within the US camp. A random ad on TV may change strategy!
So long as we're correcting people, no. The comment in question says "apparently" the character was named after him. Someone replied that was in fact the case. Then you came along and shamed the person for confirming it.
I'm really loving NextCloud. It's now my personal everything server interface, and runs on an unraid box in Docker:

- My calendar, to-do list (via CalDAV, and using GoodTask), and contacts are all hosted on the instance, including shared family calendars

- It's my "personal Dropbox" but with 12 TB of storage, and using OnlyOffice it's also my personal Google Docs with a web editor

- NextCloud's app syncs a complete copy of all my photos from my phone automatically (in addition to using iCloud Photo Library)

- I have a script that auto-imports all footage from my GoPro when I plug it in and makes it accessible via NextCloud, so I can share raw footage with other people. When I edit video, it's all via my iOS devices and LumaFusion connecting to the SMB server (which, granted, isn't NextCloud but I can preview all the files via the NextCloud interface)

- It's all backed up to the cloud as well

- It's accessible externally (I use Traefik for load balancing and LetsEncrypt for SSL)
It wasn't sarcasm. I totally support their decision to drop MySQL. I prefer PostgreSQL in my projects too, especially with JSON/JSONB queries, it is amazing.
I had a very interesting setup for my news letter[0]. I let Mailchimp handle subscription and unsubscription and deal with spam subscriber, GDPR and the like etc.

Then I exported the CSV file and have my script[1] generate email and send it using AWS SES. I paid about $1 per month because my server run outside of AWS. If it were on AWS, then this AWS SES fee will be waived.

I first noticed this with Spotify's "Shuffle" - it was so infuriating, particularly when I'd skip a song, it would just play another song from the same artist... sometimes even the same album! That's from a playlist with hundreds of artists and songs...
Is it a one time thing or a weekly/monthly/yearly thing?
It sounds like you want a shuffle function that obeys the gambler's fallacy.

> you are worshiping some kind of idol of the token of exchange

Sure. If defining a word by what it is and then applying that definition to past people is “worshiping” an “idol”. I would call it “adhering to” a “definition”.

Fact: History, as a written corpus, pins the “invention” of a lot of things on white people, when Arabs, Chinese, or Mezoerican people “invented” those “fundamental economic tools” thousands of years before. Stock and debt being good examples.
I tend to prefer to treat SQL databases as dumb and generic as possible... you can go a LONG way supporting multiple databases until you need something more complex. For most organizations, supporting more than a single SQL variant is just painful. The only time I ever saw, for example, Microsoft Data Application Blocks in a useful scenario was an enterprise app that had to support MS-SQL and Oracle. Most of the variance was custom stored procedures for each named the same with the same signatures... It actually really sucked.

I don't blame them, and despite supporters, mySQL is constantly the most inconsistent non-standard SQL database of them all. I wished they'd just do a major version shift, dump the historical defaults, and be strongly consistent and compliant by default. Much like Oracle, I have no intention of ever using mySQL unless managing the thing is something I never have to do.

I'd rather use MS-SQL or PostgreSQL than mySQL.
There’s no way I’m not stealing it, too.
Similar story, and I’m going to go ahead and assume that the reason you wouldn’t be able to board was due to the flight departing very soon.

I _always_ opt out of backscatter machines. I’m British so I’ve flown Heathrow and Gatwick and Luton (etc), normally the process is painless. I wait a fair while longer than others, sitting/standing publicly as people pass me by and it feels awkward, but not enough to stop me.

I have never been denied boarding for my choice. But I make sure I have time to be harassed. Just in case.

The pat down is very humane, they tell you what they will do and they use the back of their hands a fair bit.

Then they brush the glove and put the cloth they brushed with in a scanner, then you’re free to go.

However, I’ve been to a couple of airports that have... aggressive.. security. Heathrow was one, they made me feel so small, as if I was causing trouble, implying I was hiding something.

Eventually I told them that I worked on the backscatter x-rays, and claimed that while they were safe for normal use, they were not safe for use with the added radiation of flying and that the world would be defaming it in a decade as, I said it was this generations asbestos.

They stopped pestering me then, since that incident it’s been my go-to response.

It’s not true as far as I know, but, it /is/ an added dose of radiation right before you get some more radiation, so it’s not exactly a complete fabrication.

Now they’re using millimetre wave scanners which are less radioactive, but have other considerations like the activation of moles on skin, or their relative ineffectiveness of finding handguns in underwear (as per TSA reporting) or 54% false positive rate (as per Germany’s report)

you multiply that 75$ figure times 12 (you won't spend 5h/month on a firewalled webapps ops) and you are valuating your net (!) wage at about 100$/h (and from my experience standalone/not-internet connected "it works"-solutions have a half life well beyond any arbitrary fiscal horizon). While that might be in the range of a FB-SWE, for most "normal" private ventures the mailchimp "cloud"-offering just isn't gonna be worth it. Though one might argue, what is so private about a 10000 recipient "private" self-marketing campaign...

The left hand does not always know what the right hand is doing in large corps. I'm assuming the SEO team is not in daily contact with the ad delivery team(s). The SEO team is just reporting on what they how they are seeing the page load without concern for where the slowdowns occur. It is quite funny/sad/ironic that it is within the same letters of the Alphabet that are the problem.

I had the same experience with Apple when the iTunes team were invalidating ProRes files created from Final Cut Pro.

There's absolutely no doubt that the ads are served differently. Think about it this way:

- Ads: Small number, each served to many people, funded with real cash, but you can't get the cash if you don't serve the ads.

- Photos: Large number, each served to few people, funded by money left over from ads, and if you don't serve them your (non-paying) customers get frustrated.

My guess is that ads is funded well enough that they can run at lower resource utilization, and much more effort is made to run photos at high resource utilization. That's how I'd run it.
I am a UX designer with 30 years of digital design experience, 20 of those in UX/UI design. In my opinion, UX is dead. Companies don't want it. They still think they want it from a competition standpoint, but in terms of what value UX brings, they don't care and would prefer not to have it. UX in corporations is purely a political thing now.

It used to be that commerical activity on the internet was not allowed. This was because, in part, we knew it would ruin the experience. Now, the internet is pretty much 100% commercialized. its a wasteland and it will only get worse.

I have an exit strategy in play to get out of UX and anything to do with working on the internet. UX and UI design will be rolled into "design" and eventually be automated. Same with coding. So, if you think you have a nice career ahead of you as a UX or UI designer or a web developer, think again. Your days are numbered.

Stages of Learning
It is important to separate wrong results from the person who does or publishes them. There's always chance that some research fails to reproduce. Proper controls and methodology reduce it, but it's still there. Especially in fields where the science just begins to understand the basics and where the matters are as complex and diverse as human behavior. We shouldn't be afraid to question the conclusions if they don't reproduce because it might imply that it was "conjecture or pseudoscience". Sometimes it is, but often it isn't - it's just this particular theory proven to be not true. Happens all the time to the very best of scientists.
Even worse: several entries such as France, French Guyana share the exact same flag because they are, you know, the same country.

There isn't really any evidence that demonstrates that Iran are attempting to develop nuclear weapons, despite decades of intense scrutiny. Their public reasoning for their nuclear program is and has always been to provide internal energy security. In fact, it was the USA started their civilian nuclear program, but later reneged on agreements after the Iranian revolution.
Inline? I dunno, shouldn't the thinking be separated from the showing? IOW, of course python can display sub/superscript, but using it in the code doesn't feel necessary.
Based on how we humans use melanin, I would believe that this is a case of having these environmental-stress-reduction "tools" basically already in play (to deal with UV, free radicals, background radiation, etc.), then capitalizing on their functionality when a new source of stress (ionizing radiation) enters their world.

Not to suggest that the melanin with these particular fungi wasn't a wee bit unique to make it better at dealing with converting ionizing radiation usefully, or that natural selection hasn't taken place to improve the existing melanin for even better utilization of this abundant, high-energy source! I just don't think that the fungi created this from scratch after the exposure began.
It's so good to hear when a legal system gets things right for consumers.
Here's the problem: go ahead and ask a bunch of different people what they want/expect their shuffle/random button to do and you'll get a bunch of different answers.

1. I want it to play in a truly random fashion, with replacement (same song twice in a row is possible).

2. I want it to play in a truly random fashion, without replacement (each song is removed from the list once played).

3. I want it to "seem" random (don't play too many songs by the same artist in a row).

4. I want it to be random, but predictable (same "random" ordering if I start the playlist again).

5. I want it to play my favourite songs more often than my lower-rated songs.

6. I want it to play my less-commonly played songs more often than the stuff I listen to all the time.

So: what exactly do you want when you say random?

> Medicade is full blown health coverage,

Medicaid is (1) not available to anywhere close to all poor people in the US (though it would have been for a particular poverty definition had ACA expansion been universal), and (2) doesn't provide free care to all the poor people to whom it is available (both premiums and cost sharing—effectively, deductibles—are allowed in State Medicaid plans), and (3) very often does have limits on available services, so while Medicaid exists, it does not meet the description made of healthcare being free in the US if you are poor without treatment restrictions that has been made.
I don't think mathematics is the issue here, rather problem definition.

OP wants "Shuffle my playlist into a random order and then play it through"

You are thinking closer to "After this song is done, choose a new song at random among ALL available."

Spotify's is a mixture, while good offline clients tend to go to the first.
Yes, and that was my point. Staunch supporters of capitalism often own capital. A great example is home ownership, which people use as an investment platform. Using your home as an investment platform means you have an interest in maintaining the value of your investment, which leads to things like NIMBYism or voting against measures that might help the city, but devalue your property.

The only way you could possibly maintain free market capitalism is by, ironically, putting in rules preventing people from using the free market in their own rational self interest. Which is why I believe healthcare can't be fixed by making it free-er, simply because the rational self-interest of insurance companies is against that of the insured.
I would like to propose another reason as to why I think it's bad. I seriously believe that the constant surveillance of people through their phones is starting to cause problems. It's now awkward to not leave the house without your phone. What if someone needs you? What if you need to reach someone? To feel safe, people need to feel constantly within arms reach of help. Monitoring children this way, is essentially easing them into the same mindset. Someone is always watching what's happening. When they step out into the real world, disconnecting from that is sure to be jarring, and what I really fear is that uneasiness will push more people into believing we need to be under a surveillance state.

Anyway, if we're talking about fun, I can't think of anything more exciting than seeing what happens in this scenario.

I imagine the way you expose it makes a difference, too, in what kind of people you attract.
I am curious, how would you have acted in my shoes? A few alternative options I can think of:

1) Not even try to move to the US to pursue the dream of a world-class tech career (dream I had since I was 12), stay in my own EU country with a mind-numbing consultancy job (which again, it's the only kind of employment available since the country is mostly rural with a limited software industry) to be fully consistent with morals. This also means I won't be able to financially help my parents as a sign of gratitude for all they've done for me, since my salary will be barely enough to keep me afloat.

2) Move to the US and completely renounce to my EU citizenship, so I won't ever have a way to go back and "take advantage" of my EU country (meaning I wouldn't even be able to see parents and family without an immigration visa).

3) Move to the US, keep the EU citizenship, but completely deny to myself the option of eventually moving back if needed. So, if I get a massive debilitating cancer that will force me to quit my job and lose my health insurance in the US, I'll die without treatment and all alone (loving family is all in EU) but with morals.

4) Move to the US, keep the EU citizenship, keep the possibility of eventually moving to EU, but to be consistent with morals find a way to donate to my EU government a few hundreds/thousands a month to keep contributing to the social safety net even if I'm not a resident there (I don't believe that's even physically possible?). But certainly that wouldn't be enough to cover the expenses my government paid for my education, so I should also find a way to refund that?

5) Move to the US, keep the EU citizenship, and start a countdown mandating that in exactly N years (where N cannot be certainly changed!) I will move back to EU regardless of where I am in my career or health status, so I won't be able to just move to the EU at the most convenient time.

I'm asking because it's easy to talk about problems at a philosophical level, but please try to step down from your judging pedestal and come back to the real world with real problems, thinking what YOU would have done in practice.
