No need for condescending sighs, I kind of know what I'm talking about and to be honest, I'm not quite sure whether I buy into your claims of irrelevance. International rights and their moral justification are to a large extent based on habits, i.e., customary rights, and on the principle of reciprocity. There are also principles of state sovereignity to consider. Finally, there is the problem of only selectively applying moral principles and international rights, which is inherently unjust.

I have argued that people should base their judgements on a better understanding, trying to put themselves into the shoes of e.g. someone in a country that is being threatened to be invaded by the largest military force of the world and has been threatened in the past. I have also suggested to be careful not to confuse geopolitical strategies of countries with moral points, and that any sanctions or other efforts to influence Iran should be targeted against its theocratic structure, which is at the heart undemocratic. In reality, however, the US mostly seeks to increase their sphere of influence for geopolitical reasons and the US has no right at all to do that. There is no international law or any other reasonable construction that would justify that the US does anything in that region of the earth at all. I'm suggesting that sanctions should be justified morally and, if so, extended to countries like e.g. Saudi Arabia, too, in order not to appear to be selective and therefore unjust. I am for sanctions and other non-violent measures to increase democracy in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, and so forth, if these measures promise to be at least moderately successful. Otherwise, I believe that change almost must come from within.

I'm not sure what you ware suggesting in contrast to this. This looks very much like a conflict between the US and Iran that is mostly about geostrategy. This is what I suggested to and you consider it irrelevant. What is it, then, you're suggesting? That the US should act as a world police without any mandate, despite the US's horrendous track record of torture, illegal kidnappings, aggressive wars against other countries, and so on? This doesn't make sense to me, especially given that the US has already created great havoc and chaos in the whole region.

I'm really baffled at what you're trying to argue for. It is obvious that in this conflict both Iran and the US primarily act out of strategic interests in the region and not because of any moral concerns, and accusing the US of hypocricy seems quite justified.

I’d have much more sympathy if they didn’t already support more filesystems. Now I’m no expert, but I’m guessing dropping support mostly constituted only e2e testing on ext4 and refusing to operate or warning on everything else.

This all feels a little silly. Yes sure, files are hard. If they weren’t I probably wouldn’t need to pay someone to solve the problem. But I think solving the file syncing problem for just ext4 is worse than bad for your customers because now you’re taking the whole ecosystem with you. Imagine users ditching btrfs or zfs because of Dropbox.

Now nothing and nobody is perfect and I wish Dropbox the best, but I miss the days when it felt like they cared about Linux and truly focused on solving the core problem effectively. They differentiated on sheer quality. I’ve moved on from file syncing to a more elaborate local NAS configuration and I could never go back, but I did get many good years out of Dropbox.

I’m glad Dropbox did at least walk back the filesystem compatibility issue a bit. Hopefully it’s a sign of better times to come for the Linux client.

Wild animal babies are rescued all the time. Fed and returned to wild. That's a potential source. But it will still take time but possible, an example I've followed are siberian foxes. Who expects an adult koala born in a backyard to suddenly be domesticated? I expect domestication of a wild adult koala to be the same as domesticating an adult wildcat. Very difficult despite "thousands of years of existing with humans"

I don't think koalas need the space. We're certainly not giving cats and dogs lots of room with chickens for them to feed on. We've been giving them dry and canned food. Another example are horses who eat hay are often in the barn.

There's not much funding for Chlamydia or similar health issues they have because the funding relies on government and people goodwill. If over a million koalas are owned by people, a lot of people would pay for medical solutions for their ill family members. Average population just doesnt have the same goodwill towards wild animals.
Mine was based on the answer here[1], now I see that the script in the answer was edited after I started using it. I should try the new version to see if it works better.

My experience with the previous version was that while it sometimes worked, on some websites it broke more than it fixed; and when I modified the script to account for that issue, it broke something somewhere else, as websites use very different methods to display images that I couldn't imagine (hence I welcome a standard way of doing it). So I ended up using the script on a whitelist basis instead. Maybe the new version works more properly, so that I can enable it globally again.

As automated theorem proving and machine-checked proofs are making rapid progress, the burden is increasing. In the beginning, not much was required in the way of proof about a language's type system. Then came systematization and de facto standardization of programming language semantics, along with a standard way of proving things about type systems (typically, small-step semantics, progress and preservation lemmas). Soon, at least in academic papers, it became the norm and almost required to provide formal proofs of type safety. Those languages and systems that lacked proofs often had holes in them. Nowadays, like I alluded to in my original comment, the burden of proof (quite literally) is being ratcheted up even higher, with machine-checked proofs becoming mainstream in academic circles. So in that context, your original comment that these systems are "guaranteed" to be sound is not yet at the level of proof that I would accept. I have reasonable doubts, because dealing with UB in C/C++ is still an open problem.
This has always struck me as significant effort invested in making a bad user experience only slight less bad: the REPL overloads the meaning of "enter" to mean both "insert a new line" and "execute command", and then attempts to guess what the user meant by tweaking the grammar of the language. Why not distinguish between "insert a new line" and "execute command" as two distinct inputs, and eliminate all ambiguity ?
Things will get really interesting if OneWeb and/or Starlink become a thing.
Reading this makes me realise on my team I'm the automation guru. That's my culture through and through. The rest of my team's culture is the opposite. I always want us to play a little more defense, so that we can over time get a lot more done. They always push back that "we're too busy to do it". Yet I continue to automate and things continue to improve. Sucks because we could be significantly more effective if it were the team culture.

I think about this a lot when shopping. If I see non-perishables on sale for 20-30% off, I'll stock up on 6 months' worth and almost be able to guarantee I'll see them on sale again before I run out. Someone who doesn't have that much float wouldn't be able to do so, and so would be stuck paying 20% more than me for everything forever. So much of economics is chicken-and-egg.

> We found that the use of client re-encoding can make the image filtering more powerful in that it effectively results in an image’s hash representing all images with identical pixel values as opposed to merely a specific image encoding. The process of re-encoding extends the generalizability of hash-based filtering because any image containing the same pixel contents will be encoded to the same file and thus have an identical hash (see Figure 3). When this happens, any changes to the original image’s encoding or to its metadata will be ineffective at evading filtering, and some change to the image’s pixel values, if even a small one, will be required to change the resultant hash. When the client does not re-encode, then any change to an image’s file encoding, including to its metadata, is sufficient to change its hash.

So, just add a random off-color pixel in your image and the system will fail.

I was always "overly social", wanted people to be happy, worried about what others think. As it turns out, knowing what you want, having a vision for yourself and sticking to it and being able to respectfully say "No." actually makes you an even more pleasant person to be around. More predictable, dependable and interesting. It will cost me some Karma but for me the first step in this change was reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I don't agree with everything but her vision on rational self interest stuck with me and made me feel like a more balanced person. I still have my struggles though. I recently experienced a lot of stress negotiating 2 job options. But a coach (provided by the company I worked for, very nice) helped me see the benefits of clearly and respectfully communicating my own interests in that situation. You are the only one in such situations who has his own interests as a top priority, don't think for others, especially not in a business setting.

How cigarette packaging work as efficient tool of packaging?
Cigarettes boxes have their own grace for which consumers buy a particular brand. Though this product is not healthy for anyone still smokers find everywhere. And they are huge in number. Thus, to maintain their quality them companies are providing cigarette packaging. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that packaging has a distinct place in our lives for both professional or personal level.
Instead of moving to a new market, with more potential users - but also with fierce competition - it makes more sense to stay where they are and invest in "being so good that they can't ignore you" by investing in quality, and that means outstanding tooling and ecosystem.

I perfectly understand the issue, I work (I might say worked) in a field where - for completely different reasons - the work opportunities are scarce to non existant for senior people, but the question was more about how the sum was quantified.

Being the target of discrimination (be it age, sex, race, religion, whatever) is a terrible experience, but it is not easy to determine the amount of a monetary compensation.

As the parent noted, the $11 M are a rounding error to google, still the amount each person received should not be excessive because google is so big.

I mean, let's say that in an alternate world the amount would be calculated on the gross profits of google and the total amount had been US$ 110 Millions instead (still peanuts).

Would have it been "fair" that each refused applicant got 350,000 US$? (a couple years wage)

Or 3,500,000 each (more like 20 years) would have been adequate?
Well, the base layer of primes references the term “NSM” (which stands for “natural semantic metalanguage”, Wierzbicka and Goddard’s theory which holds, among other things, that there is a universal core of base concepts across languages; the count of 60 such primes coincides with the 2002 iteration; there's also a 14 prime version from 1972 and a 65 prime version from ~2014.)

The layering beyond the primes isn't consistent though, and wouldn't be so much a translation as new work for each language.

You gotta check out 'The Suit' by Nicholas Antongiovanni -- I'm not sure your assumption holds about the body being more important, this is something you may reconsider; people struggle with all sorts of body issues and clothing is the one great democratizer in that it gives us an extrinsic way to control our appearance

Furthermore, fashion trends being what they are, cheap trendy clothing doesn't make sense either, there are many factors but it's a calculus optimization yet again, how can you get the maximum longevity (including fashion relevance) with the minimum cost?

This hardly takes into account human psychology: let's not pretend humans don't communicate through clothing -- as a species we are able to assign meaning to anything including a plastic bag blowing in the wind. Many times the clothing we choose speaks for us and it's not always saying the most complimentary things

All these things considered, for a man at least, a rotation of 8 high quality suits and related sports jackets and accessories is still the best value even if society has strayed from these mores and those who get it get it, those who don't wear crocs everywhere
The "topological" in topological sort is more related to "network topology" than the mathematical topology (open sets). "Sort" is related to ordering. Topological sort thus is related to the ordering of a network graph's nodes by their edges.

You can see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting to see what it actually is. Topological sort is good in dealing with dependency graph. It can turn a dependency graph into a linear ordering of nodes.

GP mentioned topological sort because words depend on other defining words and it's one big directed acyclic graph. Do a topological sort on it and you got a linear list of words ordered by dependency. Group the consecutive words that have no dependency together and you got the word layers. Within each layer all the words don't depend on each other. The words in one layer depend on the words in the lower layers.

It's too bad anything Apple manufactures is effectively taken completely off the market unless you are interested in buying the thing packaged inside of extremely expensive form factor.
The theory of semantic primes is that they are universal, so (aside from using an older or newer version of the list of primes, like the 14-prime or 65-prime versions instead of the 60-prime version), you'd expect the list for any other language to be equivalent to a translation of the list for whichever language you encountered the list for first.

>when you think in terms of defining a word, don't you picture how it's written down?

Interesting hypothesis.

I don't think I do, and my assumption is that most other people don't either?

I learnt to speak well before I learnt to read and write. The process of speaking without any knowledge of the letters was deeply embedded in my brain.

People that are unable as adults to read or write, or have severe impediments to reading/writing in the same way that I do (e.g. dyslexia) don't speak any differently.

If I try to, I can picture how my spoken word is written down, but I'm pretty sure when I'm talking in a more "autonomic" fashion I'm not really picturing the words?
I've had an unhealthy fixation on my opinions/ideas, which usually resulted in me being overly emotional when they were attacked or disproven. I found out this has been a great source of frustration for me, and for the people around me as well.

> Admitting I'm wrong or that I screwed up (1), and likewise praising others when they're correct or have ideas I agree with (2).

That's what I'm focusing on, now. However, although I always mean it, both (1) and (2) — at least in my ears — sound fabricated and artificial, even patronizing at times, as if I've been trying to manipulate the people around me instead of being a better human.

So, that said... How do you do (1) and (2) properly?

For me, realizing that I ought to behave in some manner is only half of the problem; the other is finding out _how_ exactly I should do that.
That's approximately correct, though It think it's most actually “north or south of the subsolar point at noon on the day in question”.

North and South of the tropics will give either consistently right or consistently wrong answers, but within the tropics you'll get different answers on different days.
