"not doing your job" is incompetence, there might be many reasons for that ranging from being promoted too quickly without enough support, life-hardships that occlude performance, or just NOT UNDERSTANDING what one's job actually is (yes, it happens).

Sure, it sometimes happens that someone feels so entitled that they can justify loafing and pretend-work, that's definitely a-hole behavior, but those other explanations are far more common.
Maybe I misunderstood you. How does the MWI decide what a measurement is, when it happens, and when it doesn't?
I'm guessing medicare is free in the Netherlands. India has a public health sector which works only on paper. And its basic education access for the poor has been deteriorating in many of the central/northern states.
My bad for not being clear enough. I was thinking of, for example, a networking issue where both server and client are still “connected” but delivery never happens. Can be solved with tuning timeouts / client-side TTL as mentioned elsewhere, but I was wondering specifically if this would change Redis’ known guarantees for data consistency, what happens during partition etc. More of a theoretical question.

On the second point, the post talks about having the feature disabled by default; I was curious regarding the protocol itself - it is currently quite simple, and by adding extra cache-control metadata it sounds like correct client implementation might become a lot more complex, but it’s hard to tell without having seen what the new protocol looks like.
Although a lot of Americans get confused when "corn" is mentioned in various translations of the bible, not understanding that maize is not being referenced (which would be very weird indeed) but that the word "corn" used to (and still does to some extant) be used to refer to grains in general and wheat was probably being referred to.

Indian taxation is mystery to me, traveling through the India I realized it's the middle class (employees at a company) who pay maximum taxes but receive little to no benefits.

While villagers got free solar panels, funds for constructing bathroom, homes etc....some even got money during floods even when their place wasn't much affected.

And super rich have armies of lawyers and accountants ready to forge battle and use techniques to minimize their tax.

I felt bad for the middle class who in my opinion worked really long crushing hours and often stayed far away from families.

The kind of food/products army receives only upper middle class can afford them with their own money. And army even sells some of that subsided food to local people in return of cash.

I don't understand how can middle-class keep their heads down and simply pay whatever they are asked to pay?

Needless to say, many want to move to freer countries with less import duties, less taxation and more employment opportunities and better market.

Unless you are super rich, good luck buying Lamborghini in India. India is not a country where you can really enjoy fruit of your labor.

Every Government will come and they'll give away free money to people who are bottom of the rungs and leach this money off the middle class and this has been going on forever.

Super rich were never affect and still aren't affected.

And in India you need to work 5x as hard if not less to make same wages as your American counterpart, even then if you manage to make the same wage as someone I America, you'll find your money can only buy 1/3rd of the benefits an American can buy.

If your idea of a good life is to work hard and feed a family, congrats, it's possible in India but if you've more ambition and you want drones, you want cars, you want anything latest, hell even an iphone, you can't afford that unless you make 3x of someone in America.

It's the legal version of Robin hood going around who just woo people at the bottom by fleecing from them who are the middle and letting super rich fleece from both government and the middle class.

I am just a foreigner in India with an Indian wife, so my understanding might be limited but I went to meet many public sector and private sector employee and guess what? Even if a public sector person on paper makes less wages than private sector one, they always had bigger houses (their own) and bigger cars and often more properties. How do I know? My wife was friends with many of them and they were always talking about property prices.
That's a nice course you got there. Thanks for sharing!

Carbon emission from vehicle manufacturing is localized to the area they are manufactured in. The benefits of electric vehicles is that you don't have cities and suburbs full of smog from combustion engines.

You must live in a warm climate - these are the only people who suggest bikes as a replacement for vehicles. Riding a bike in the winter is really difficult. It's not impossible, it's just so much of a challenge that it's not even worth entertaining as an idea - just drive a car with a roof and heater.
Wow, this is really bad.

Before we had separate ports and cables for power, USB and Thunderbolt. There was no way to plug the wrong cable in the wrong port.

With USB-C, we still have separate cables for these three types, but they all look confusingly the same. Not convinced this is an improvement.
But even what you meant is wrong. When you remove the juice from the fiber (orange, apple, mango, etc) it becomes a sugary drink [0]. Added sugar doesn't mean anything, sugar is sugar is sugar [1]. By removing the fiber the overload of sugar the liver has to deal with is no different than drinking soda. While fruit juice may have a few minor benefits here and there research is stating that it's not healthy outside of small quantity. Parents give their kids (at least in the US) way too much juice [2] and it's become a learned habit as kids grow up to drink juice because they've been told it's healthy. What they weren't taught was healthy rationing.

It's explained in the use case: https://github.com/kstenerud/go#use-case

Use Case

The use case for warnings is the exploratory development or debugging phases, where you really don't care about leaving unused things lying around for the time being (for example, temporarily commenting something out), and would rather that the compiler just got out of your way until you've got something ready to compile normally and commit.

Usage

go build -gcflags=-warnunused somefile.go
go test -gcflags=-warnunused

When you're done with your exploratory/debugging phase, simply build or test without the flag:

go build somefile.go
go test

Compiling without the flags will fail on unused things as normal.

Once a mistaken transaction showed up and disappeared a few hours later, with no trace left behind at all. I just assumed it was a mistake and didn't bother getting angry.

I had an unexpected deposit show up in my bank account last year and then disappear a day later. The bank sent me a letter in the mail explaining what happened.

The Raspberry Pi foundation has their own "official" USB-C power adapter as well (At least, they have it for pre-order). So I doubt it's the highest priority.

I can still see this getting fixed in a future revision, but I think it will be a while. It is an issue, but it doesn't make the pi 4 useless.
You don't need to die to injure yourself on a bike. I've hit ruts in the road and scraped my knee and torn pants. I've slipped my foot off the pedal and wacked my shin, cut my hand putting a chain back on the derailer, and nutted myself on the seat by hopping a curb.

Contrast that to the fact that I've never been injured in a car, even though I've been in a few accidents.
There are no state level income taxes in India, afaik. However, the Goods and Services Tax on many items is very high - 28%. So if you earn 100 rupees at the top slab, then you effectively have 58.3 after the income tax, and say you use it to buy some good at the highest GST bracket. You essentially can buy only worth Rs. 41.97. Add to this the fact that there are stiff tariffs for imported goods like iPhone, say for example, 20%. Then it comes down to Rs. 33.57 worth of purchasing power at the international level.

I processed a few hundred thousand in revenue through PayPal subscriptions starting around 2008. Everything went fine for a few years, then I moved to Stripe because of the horror stories that kept popping up about PayPal (frozen accounts for 6mo+ with no recourse, inability to contact anyone, etc.).

It just isn’t worth the risk, IMO. At least with Stripe I know I can talk to somebody if a problem arises.
A fully-featured USB-C cable can be used for all of those functionalities, but the fact that there are lesser-featured cables is confusing, yes.
It could have been phrased as, "The COO changed her mind often enough" and still made the point without drawing particular attention to her gender.

Phrasing it as, "The COO was a woman who changed her mind often enough" draws a lot more attention to her gender rather than the issue of lack of direction.

I'm not normally one to point out this kind of thing, but it stuck out to me too.
Insular was probably the wrong term to use, culturally rigid or conservative might be better. The point is they maintain a high fidelity to the cultural and behavioural patterns of their group. One of which is to eschew birth control and purposefully create large families.

It's all about how it's done. In the case described above, an explanation of what happened, why it happened, how to avoid it in the future, and perhaps a little humor would be positively received by everyone involved.

On the other hand, someone could very well have the exact same situation and make it into a-hole incident by shaming the interns and making them reconsider even being there.

I often rant about this, when people from home bemoan about tropical deforestation (which is of course terrible) and go on about how "they" are destroying the planet. When asking what they are doing about the problem closer to home they look at me like I am crazy.

Where are the protests to confiscate arable land for reforestation in the UK. Where is the public will to pay a higher % for food due to less arable land. Where is the willingness to accept a lower standard of living (in the short term at least) due to reforestation of the UK. All of which they expect of 3rd world countries, but not for their home country.

The above is never going to happen, but I often wonder whether instead of hegerows around the patchwork of fields we have in the UK it is mandated to be 2-3 trees thick. Sure some land would be lost, but not much and as anyone who has flown into the UK, a huge % of the country is a patchwork of fields, that should be a significant number of new tree planting
I would not be surprised if this is the default in the bcm2711 documentation and they simply took that as guidance.

Why?

I think this article was not written by an electrical engineer. The reason why this design is inadequate still eludes me. But, RPi should have probably used the reference design, that's clear.

EU has better infrastructure and atleast you get something in return of taxes you pay. In India, quality of public services is crap and middle class doesn't receive any benefits from taxes paid.
You're not agitated by being called a liar, nor being implicitly accused of fraud?

It sounds like PayPal, or someone, made a mistake that PayPal then processed a fix on. When the guy called to say someone took money from his account with no notification, "what happened?", they said _he_ had actioned the refunding of the money. Which he hadn't.

They lied, purposefully and deliberately. But there's a good chance that the person on the phone wasn't lying IMO, instead someone altered his account in a way that didn't show [to their phone reps] in their system ... which is IMO much more messed up.

So PayPal lied to him.

Then they asked for details of the transaction that they said he had refunded and "blocked" his account for not providing them.

Government financial services should impose heavy fines on things like this, not informing a creditor when debits are made on their accounts. His PayPal account should have a user traceable error (with doubled entries in the other relevant account entries) -

money paid from $ACCNUM with $ACCID
money paid due to PayPal error and refunded to $ACCNUM

I mean come on, is basic accounting beyond them?

If they could do accounting properly then they wouldn't have to implictly accuse him of fraud (demanding the transaction details).

My experience of PayPal has in general been pretty good, but I did have a person pay for something from eBay, then when I was sending it - like just about to head to the post office I realised I'd not checked the payment. On checking the transaction link in eBay the transaction didn't appear on PayPal .. uh oh, so I checked PayPal and I couldn't find a transaction for the amount in my account list. So I checked eBay and the buyer had asked to cancel the completed transaction ... so I said yes, very begrudgingly. Then a few days later the buyer asked for the money back, but I never had it, and they (assuming they weren't lying) had a transaction for paying me ... which should be impossible with proper accounting because that transaction should include an entry in my account ledger too his payment and my receipt are one transaction.

My suspicion is that their database processing is lacking and their account ledgers as displayed to users don't properly demonstrate the status of accounts.
Not necessarily. Mortality of mothers is higher in multiple births; maybe that's a counter-pressure (fewer children). Children do worse as well ([0], [1], [2]). Ladies are not built to carry more than one child, especially considering the size of our children, and agriculture has been such a blip on the evolutionary/anthropological timescale that we have not had time to evolve so significantly as to change our basic reproduction.

According to MWI, there's no special privileged operation called "measurement" like there is in the Copenhagen Interpretation. Of course there's still scientists looking at stuff, but according to MWI, the scientists and their machines are made of matter that follows the same law of physics of the matter they're studying.
I read the J Clin Epi paper being discussed when it first came out and it expressed my feelings and thoughts very well, as a professor.

The crux of the problem is this: we as a society value science, and the epitome of this in healthcare has been the goal of evidence based medicine (EBM) or evidence based practice (EBP). The idea seems simple enough, that healthcare decisions and procedures should be based on scientific evidence.

This clashes, however, with the reality that much of research in the biomedical sciences is unreplicable or completely invalid for other reasons. The reasons for this are complex but you have things like p-hacking, selective reporting of results, confounds, and so forth and so on. Think "how to lie with science" instead of "how to lie with statistics."

As a result, EBM gets hijacked by those who are trying to manipulate; appeals to science becomes a form of fallacious argument, sort of a version of appeal to authority error, where one appeals to a scientific finding because it's peer reviewed etc. without invoking the underlying integrity of the research per se. Then you have the unscrupulous making money off of bad science, and authority figures (in medical care and administration) cudgeling people for not using EBM/EBP when what is really happening is people are recognizing it as bad science. Sometimes no science is better than bad science--or sometimes, science means rejecting peer-reviewed research, even with all the right surface features.

The paper is part of a slightly personal exchange between Ioannidis and someone he looks up to but is also close to, so it has a kind of poignant conversational style. It's not so much a scientific paper as it is a personal discussion.

There is a huge difference between asking to be left alone amd demanding others conform to something. If they don't like the name they don't have to use the software. Or as GP mentioned they can fork it to rename it whatever they'd like. Times like this I'm reminded of the adage 'Offense is taken not given.'

There's basically a 0% chance that it is because they don't hash passwords and they're a limit on a table column or something. Paypal has faults, but they're not that incompetent. The more charitable logic for this policy goes like this:

1) for those who want security, 20 digits of random characters using a password manager is plenty

2) for those who actually remember and type a password (i.e., just a regular password), requiring them to keep it less than 20 characters increases the odds that they can actually type it in correctly (think elderly or more easily confused people here) and that reduces calls to customer service to complain that their password doesn't work.

Reason #442 to use a password manager.
This is a very likely answer. Strange that it is downvoted.
This reminded me about Yemen. Eight years ago I read that Yemen may be the first country to run out of water. I went to check on where they are. It's not good. Drought is being compounded by conflict and politics.

I can't help but think that this is a harbinger of the future in more places than Yemen as climate change continues.

But your anecdote is exactly what is explained in the article: the new environment (such as contraceptives) which lead to your ancestors having less kids, will cause increased selection on fertility traits in the future. This will reverse the trend of decreased fertility.

Traits that will be selected: a desire to have more kids, physiological changes that cause resistance against contraceptives, tendency to have twins, etc.
