How is that different than in the US? If you ask for permission at any medium or large firm you're likely to either get ignored or get an earful. That's why the credo is "ask for forgiveness, not for permission".

With what little management experience I've had, I get why. First, no matter how open you are to ideas, the moment somebody starts pitching a concept invariably they're making a host of assumptions completely at odds with your own. How do you respond to that? Either by being polite (ignoring) or listing all potential problems you foresee.

Second, if they're so sure of their idea why are they talking about in the future tense? Ideas are a dime a dozen, show me results. If you can't show results without being given substantial time and resources, then either the employee or the company is in the wrong line of business. There are plenty of great ideas that are just a poor fit for a company (or team or division). That there's no incremental or other convenient hook to get started is a strong hint that it's a poor fit.

People get frustrated because they see a reward but are too afraid to take the risk. They want insurance. Well, if you want reward without the risk then just do the job you're told to do.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Airline deregulation didn't make it harder to start a new airline--to the contrary, lots of new airlines were started after deregulation.
I would guess that it would be because Notion is mostly designed to be used as a personal note-taking/todo/trello app (which it's great at!)

Though it's possible to "publish" or share your notes it doesn't look like a well designed use of the platform.
Your comment and this article are the first I noticed mentioning the birds as a second indicator. It means the cascade has started. Somewhere else, it's probably already acting as well: the soil, the plants, or stuff we don't know about.
Interesting: Kansas City = Switzerland??? A bit mindblowing if true.
another issue is companies that profit from exploiting the commons and push their costs to the general population e.g. shale gas and oil as well as other mining operations.

You say Maternal/Paternal Grandparents, or add last names, or use different names (eg Granny and Nana). I can't think of a situation where I've had to differentiate them as relatives, only as individuals, so I can't see a distinction being that useful.

It baffles me that Americans call their country "the land of the free", but apparently they're not even allowed to plant vegetables in their yard. They're allowed to shoot someone on their own land apparently (only in certain situations I'm sure, but still), but they're not allowed to plant harmless and useful vegetables, because someone thinks it's "unsightly".
If someone thought those cycles could be put to better use they would pay out bitcoins themselves to mining machines to convince them to run their computation instead, it's straight arbitrage.
I'm aware graphics support isn't fully there. My concern is for the general audience not familiar with the current status. In the post to hand wave over what didn't work when tried and call it "gimped" leads the reader to think any number of things may not work.

I see this has been updated with a link to the FAQ. I'm a big believer in laying out problems as;

- What was expected

- What was tried

- What was the result

- Why the result differed from the expectation

It's not regulators you should worry about.

You may have indirect fossil fuel investments you’re not aware of. From my cursory research, most banks are heavily invested in fossil fuel industries, and most mutual funds and index funds include oil and gas positions.

Even many “ethical” or “green” funds seem to have investments that bleed into oil and gas - e.g. enbridge, a company that makes pipelines AND clean energy infrastructure.

Long story short - i’ve found it very hard to invest money without some of it going to fossil fuel businesses.
> A government can take them away and the people can take them back.

An the people (you live nearby) can take them away if they deem you unsightly ... unless goverment first takes away their right to take away your rights. Which governments usually do in sane countries.

In the absence of top down rules, local level 'office politics' thrives making life worse for everybody.

Should still be the same. By the way, it's considered quite unlucky/distasteful to marry someone with the same surname.
Thanks, that sounds plausible. So it's less about taking out your current investment and more about not investing new money into them that is hurting them. Taking out the current investments still makes sense, of course, both ethically and by not being invested into an industry you're trying to shut down.
Do you not want it enough that it should be forbidden for anyone?

Maybe I come from a different culture (British) but it’s fairly common for people to find something they like about someone else and then comment on it. That can be appearance or other things.

For instance I was at google next last year and I told someone that they had a really nice t-shirt and enquired about where it was purchased. Did I make them uncomfortable?

If I didn’t, is it forbidden?

Does it matter at all to the progress of a project?
it sounds like they didn't take into account strategies like Amazon selling books for below cost to starve competitors and then getting an effective monopoly as a result
The thing that bores me the most is that the sentence not event makes sense. "Showing users how to bypass secure computer systems".
If you can bypass a computer system, in which way can it be considered secure?
Still makes no sense. If planting vegetables in your garden is not allowed, then that's the thing that makes your house less valuable.
Well we're really talking about two different things here: The first one is manufacturing a product, and the second is using the product. It's systemic risk.

Airplane manufacturing is extremely highly regulated - the reason being that if there's a bug, then the bug is in every airplane. And when that bug appears there's often very little opportunity to mitigate it and the consequences are huge, it's the Manufacturer that's responsible, but the passengers (and bystanders) who pay the price.

Similarly, the standard for safety in car manufacture is much higher than the standard of safety for becoming a driver. Partly because the problems for the former are systematic, and partly because the latter primarily poses a risk to themselves. There's self-regulation there.

When Tesla tells everyone they have autopilot it isn't Elon Musk whose Tesla slams into a lane divider at 70mph, it's one of the customers he lied to, and it's likely not even one customer, it's a systematic issue where every driver in that situation will face danger.
Interestingly, article cites a source that contradicts the headline. The Joule paper puts the number at 45.8TWh. The main focus of the article has some guys putting the number at 58.93TWh. That's quite the discrepancy.

In general I have come to treat anything that cites Alex de Vries with suspicion. Amongst other things, the repeated discussion of the number of transactions and the power expenditure. The power expenditure does not scale by number of transactions. Associating the two without mentioning one is not a factor of the other creates a misleading impression. Doing so repeatedly suggests bad faith.

Bitcoin does use a lot of power though. On the other hand, the reward halving does mitigate some of this. If you are confidant that Bitcoin won't increase on average 20% every year forever then you should be happy that the problem will fix itself.

The current problem comes from the value rise being greater than the reward halving. To sustain that it has to double in value every 4 years _forever_. The early growth has been higher than that, but to just sustain current power levels BTC would have to be worth millions in a few decades.
Is there a notion in linguistics of languages being more "modular", i.e. tacking on details like this through additional words, versus having more and more specific words to cover these cases?

Coming from my native German, I am very much used to the former, so I always find it interesting to see how different other languages are structured sometimes.
Indian languages have this sort of kinship granularity. Some of these distinctions include:

* Maternal/paternal parental siblings, with distinct terms for their respective spouses

* Maternal/paternal parental sibling - distinct terms if they are older or younger than your own parent
Would it not be better to just allow the user to label the relation the way they want and only give options for some most common(important?) ones ?
SSH has some kind of compression, so if you can write a Twisted ssh server sending the file as a compressed ssh packed. For detection, fail2ban provides a plugin architecture that allows it to do any action once it noticed an abuse, so you could switch the regular ssh implementation with you tricky one on the fly.

Fun project.

One should also do a lua nginx plugin for that: aggressive crawler ? Comment spammer ? Take this nice gzip HTTP response...
Using an extra CPU just so you can write your logic in python seems … excessive.
If you want to keep the worst drivers off the road, it might make sense for the elderly to get self driving cars. Or cars to detect your blood alcohol level and go into self driving mode then. That solved, I believe the average driver would go back up enough that self driving cars are worse.
Highways rack up a lot of miles, but is a really easy environment to drive in. Intersections, pedestrian crossings, busy streets, parking etc don't yield a lot of miles to the statistics, but is where most interaction with other people, and most edge cases show up.

So I'm not sure that accidents per mile is necessarily the best metric either.
InnoDB is very nice, especially when compared to myISAM. If this post only contained information regarding myISAM then there would be a lot to unpack and it would look like flaming.

I think I’m being fair to innodb though. It’s not necessarily InnoDBs fault that it cannot handle schema changes in a transaction, or munges data if the column isn’t the right size, or that it fails a commit but overwrites data anyway.

These are generally MySQL problems, and it doesn’t matter which storage engine you use.
I switched from Linux to OpenBSD, then to FreeBSD as my primary OS on my laptop, which involved a bit more set-up time than I was accustomed to with Linux, previously. Eventually I grew tired of the manual setup for so many things and bailed for Debian Sid.

It feels like a nice middle-ground. Most things work out of the box, but I still get to tinker and scratch that itch.
I currently operate a current mod Renault Twingo (a 3.5m long micro car). While the (rear) engine is really powerless, I like the total ease on how stuff is operated. Essentially there is nothing in it, you can totally concentrate on the road. Nothing blinks or beeps, no touch screen, there are almost no knobs to operate. It is pure zen.
I am genuinely curious why not. Interesting to know that history about php!

A middle ground might have been to use a transliteration such as CNContactLabelRelationBiaoJie.

Your point about input makes sense in that it's technically possible to type the English identifier without Chinese input methods, although I would be surprised if anybody typed that long-ass English identifier without IDE completion or copy-paste either!

The point about being able to more easily compare, I disagree with - the long identifiers are hard to check.

IMO if an API exposes an uncommonly-known but well-defined concept, I think it's acceptable, and better, to ask users of the API to learn the concept before use rather than paraphrase it.

It better matches what developers are likely going to try to do: if anyone is ever going to write a program that has to care about this case, I'm pretty sure the spec isn't going to be something like "if the contact is the user's elder female cousin who is either the user's mother's sibling's daughter or the user's father's sister's daughter..." - it's likely going to say, if not in Chinese, "if the contact is the user's 'biaojie'..."

There is good precedent for this kind of preference for expressing concepts that aren't broadly familiar in technical APIs. You'll get some symbols containing words like AffineTransform or CMYK in it, and probably many programmers wouldn't know what they stand for either until they need to learn what they are, but that's ok and better than dumbing down the API to something like RotationOrTranslationOrResizingOrCombinationThereOf or PrimarySubtractiveColorSystem.
Well, given that ISO C doesn't say anything about constexpr....
In Vietnamese there are at least 4 different relationships that we call "uncle" (father's/mother's older/younger brother) in English! I have no idea how you refer to cousins. My teacher told me when he visits family he often doesn't know the word for his own relationships. Apple trying to capture a complete multilingual kinship lexicon sounds like an impossible task, I guess they must be focussing on specific languages here (Chinese is a good bet).
I don't think it's that the problem is that there are rules, it's just that they are too strict. Next to my area there are houses in an "unplanned" (i.e. rural looking) area, and par for the course is 3 rusted up car wrecks in the yard. Having a junkyard is unsightly. Growing vegetables or drying laundry isn't. Edit: important note is that there are is HOA deciding - it's the local authorities that set these rules.

You think having a transactional log to stop people from lying in court is a bad thing and has me doing harm? What unfair, malicious gain do I receive by being able to present evidence that says that someone did in fact read correspondence?

Respectfully, you’re in a very small camp there. You might as well call security footage or fingerprint evidence malicious as well. The same goes for snail mail that has delivery confirmation.

If anything, this thread has just reinforced my belief that I’m doing the right thing.

That's fine if you have the luxury of growing it yourself. If you live in a city like a lot of people do in the UK you don't have the luxury of owning a garden, so having somebody else grow it is a necessity.

In the end, for the poorer, at least in the likes of the UK, it means they eat less healthily because they need to buy cheaper, processed and less nutritious food that keeps longer.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying in textbook terms, but reality is different.

Divesting your current holdings should also help to drive the price down (more supply) which lowers the appeal of the industry for investors with less idiological motivation.

Nope, that's the beauty of decentralized network, it never goes offline while there at least some clients connected. You could disrupt the network with other ways though.
Also nuclear power. Run a profitable fleet of nuclear reactors and when the reactors get too old to operate you decommission them and then eventually the company goes bust...leaving the government to fund the never ending legacy costs of depleted fuel storage/containment.

Actually, areas used for grazing usually have more diversity, more flowers and thereby more insects, compared to something like a similarly sized wheat field.

> I wonder if we'll end up seeing state actors (or supranational entities like the EU) promoting state funded networks as a public alternative, as is sometimes the case in industries

You make a good point but I'd like to think of it this way: If the said service is made mandatory, then it has a chance of succeeding. Else, building that critical mass entails a lot of customer acquisition costs that a Govt may just not be in a state to justify. And therein lies the beauty and danger of network effects. Once a company has them, it is very very difficult to dislodge it. Look at Visa and Mastercard: V has been around since 1958 and MC from 1966. Both are valuable as they have network effects.

It's because of the "closed garden circle jerks" aka social media.

Before social media, most people were consuming similar media, so counterpoints could make a difference.

Nowadays algorithms decide what you would like to see/hear so only people that are already against trump are seeing those.

And this is not just websites. Metric and tracking got so much better that even traditional media, can target their viewership better.
It’s not US vs Europe thing, though perhaps this mindset is more common in certain countries.

Mainly because updating a page without a refresh was novel. Then developers began exploring how they could manipulate the page in response, using the DOM.

The need for DOM manipulation led to a lot of early JS frameworks-- scriptaculous, then eventually YUI and jQuery afterwards. The explosion of clientside code in the browser also led to the V8 engine; before that, JS was far too slow for web apps to seriously compete with desktop apps.

But before all of that, JS was hated by both end users and developers. It did not have much use outside of dropdown navigation, image maps, and plenty of malicious (or at least annoying) client-side hacks (alert box spamming, popups, disabled back buttons, etc). It was not uncommon for users to have JS completely disabled. You needed to design sites knowing some significant percentage of users could not run your JS.

Not sure, but let's see if I can try without crashing my laptop.

EDIT: nope, steaming doesn't work, the zip relies on the fact it contains many files, and gzip assume there is only one big blog.

EDIT 2: tried with zlib but it expects a different header. So my guess is you really need to open it as an archive.

Please do not read Mantak Chia books on Qigong. He is considered a fraud by many.

Just like authentic Yoga has been corrupted in the West by incompetent teachers and plain charlatans, so is the case with Qigong. You should always go to the original sources i.e. Chinese works where possible. To that end you may find the following helpful;

1) Qigong Essentials for Health Promotion - https://www.amazon.com/Qigong-Essentials-Health-Promotion-Gu...

2) Chinese Qigong Therapy - https://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Qigong-Therapy-Zhang-Mingwu/d...

Some of them may be expensive because they are hard to get but no need to pay too much for any of them. You can get authentic works from the website "china-guide.com".
I hate Peugeots with a passion (only rented them). Even the smallest of their cars sound like a tractor. Build quality is hilarious, huge gaps between panels both in- and outside. Huge deadzone on the steering wheel and pedals, and no feel for the road. The clutch pedal is nice and roomy but the gas pedal is a slippery and the size of a penny.

They are probably cheap and are all driven by seniors who wouldn't notice the difference with a proper car anyway.
