"Taking up a seat without ordering" is frowned upon. It's okay to dislike that as a restaurant owner. It's universally disliked, and barring exceptional circumstances, it's not a cool thing to do.

That is what the problematic behaviour with your described case is. "Free tap water", however, absolutely should be the standard. In Belgium, you will generally be refused tap water even if you're a paying customer with a 100 EUR bill. Whereas in France, it's illegal to refuse serving tap water… think about that.

If you're not allowed to drink tap water, you'll be drinking bottled water which creates plastic/glass waste and promotes a business that essentially repackages tap water.

One important reason I value speed in software is that it leaves me less time to get distracted. If I'm expecting something to take a few seconds, often that's enough wait time to prompt me to check my phone or reddit or something. Best case scenario I've just turned a 3 second delay in to a 10 second delay. Worst case and frequent scenario because I'm ADHD as fuck is that I get lost browsing.

An area where I think speed is neglected is when people are thinking about what to build. Something I see mentioned occasionally by people here, on reddit, and by friends: They'd like to work on a side project but don't have any ideas for something useful to build. Just take something thats otherwise already useful but slow and make it not slow! These days you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a web app that doesn't need to be a web app, or desktop app built as a web app. There's no shortage of options.

How can you have a productive discussion when you immediately dismiss anyone who questions things as "low karma deniers"? Any meaningful discussion should start with addressing: "climate has always been changing", "well we don't have accurate temperature records back to the yyy age" since they're very relevant points.

Let’s leave politics and assumptions about me out of it, please.

Same point: figure out a technological and procedural solution to the human attack vector. If “security professionals” all agree on ideology or theory that it’s not possible and thus refuse to help solve the problem, then exceptional access solutions generally will be worse off for it. It’s independent of whether they actually are deployed.
In the words of one of my coworkers: Excel is the most abused tool known to man.
It's made of titanium (though almost certainly some alloy) so they probably used a DMLS (direct metal laser sintering), SLM (selective laser melting) or DMLM (direct metal laser melting) process. All will result in fairly strong material structure. Probably not as strong as tempering/quenching would make it though. Either way, this is not something you can do with a hobby 3D printer :-)

"If they just left a log or capture file around somewhere, nope. Everyone makes mistakes."

I guess that's where you and I differ. There are certain mistakes that are tolerable. But ones that result in mass emailing to your clients that they need to change their passwords are not. I'd never heard of robinhood.com before, but now I have, and my impression is I'd never trust them because they have staff that makes mistakes with my secure information.

Think of how robinhood.com's employees feel about this. Management, and the people who are now watching the fallout rob the company of revenue.

Telling me that the person who made that mistake is gone might make me think differently.

The minute you start taking users name and passwords you're in the big boy world and need to treat it as such. Mistakes can be fatal, not just for your job, but your company.
Unless there were fraudulent numbers then I don't think holding the engineers responsible makes any sense. Product owners set the stage and place the blinders on the engineers. Good product owners will do so in a productive way, careerist con artists will do otherwise.
Kurds have an independent country, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Kurdistan

In this day and age, seperatist referandums are just dreams. Kurdistan Kurds had a referandum to declare complete independence from Iraq with 90%+ in favor of independance but they couldn’t make that recognized by international parties, even with Iraq having no practical government. And we saw what happened when Catalans attempted the same thing.

Though considering the elections in April Erdogans party got more votes in south eastern Turkey than pro PKK HDP. It is very easy to see that Kurds prefer Erdogan over PKK.

As an Australian who has recently visited both the states and Japan, I can attest that there is a significant difference in the quality and care for the commons in both.

Personal anecdote: I saw a drunk Japanese businessman vomit on the sidewalk outside a bar in Tokyo, who then went back into the bar and collected napkins in order to clean up said puke. After cleaning up the puke, he then walked into a neighboring lamppost and collapsed to the ground, and an onlooker then went to his aid.

This article is talking about the question of consciousness as "experience" itself, not necessarily as the state of having some sort of intelligent subject (the "I").

You're very likely right that the functional characteristics of introspection and self-identification can be solved without anything "immaterial", but that still leaves open the question of how experience itself arises.
Don't. You shouldn't be putting your passwords into a random machine, it may be compromised.

I dont really understand why people are making concrete assumptions about a terrorist organization without living in the country. Terrorism of PKK cannot be comparable to American revolution. You never lived in Turkey and you dont know the culture there. Turkey and US have completely different cultural basis and you cant just show up and making assumptions like these. I mean of course you can, from my point of view it is just funny.

> there could conceivably be brains that perform all the same sensory and decision-making functions as ours but in which there is no conscious experience.

That makes no sense to me. What is consciousness but a mechanism for making decisions? A brain that has all of our decision making functions would be conscious by definition.
Interesting idea, but the following two scenarios look identical to the consensus algorithm:

* One officer sees a suspect drawing a weapon, and reacts more quickly than the others or the suspect is not visible to the other officers, and thus fires a justified shot and saves a fellow officer's life.

* One officer misinterprets an innocent gesture, fires an unjustified shot and takes the life of a suspect/innocent person.

Furthermore, I'd worry that the diffusion of responsibility means that the officers fire more often, under the belief that their fellow officers agreed with their course of action, or are indicating that they are in danger (by trying to fire), or that they don't believe they alone have taken the decision to kill, so can justify shooting at a lower perceived level of threat.

See for instance firing squads:

> This is believed to reinforce the sense of diffusion of responsibility among the firing squad members. This diffusion of responsibility makes the execution process more reliable because the members are more likely to aim to kill if they are not entirely blamed for it, or if there is a chance they did not fire the lethal shot. It also allows each member of the firing squad to believe afterwards that he did not personally fire a fatal shot—for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "conscience round".

The book suggests that something is a subjective experience if an organism can report it as one

Also, just because someone reports having a subjective experience, doesn't mean that they actually have one. I do have subjective experience, but I have no way of telling whether someone else has one, even if they claim so.

Bicycle theft thing is just one example. I was giving various examples of how culture played a role in influencing the environment. I never said Japanese people are Not Like Us and "therefore don't steal".

I'm Belgian so I'm aware we don't really drink tap water. However, to say that tap water tastes exactly the same as bottled water is also a bit ridiculous in my mind.

At the end of the day I guess it comes down to preference. Perhaps a silly question, but why do you go for tap water? Just because of the waste issue? And a second question, why would tap water have to be free and would you pay for it?

PS: Cool business! Are you in Belgium?
For those looking to secure their systems from external source failures, I'd recommend taking a look at Sonatype's Nexus Repository [1]. It supports a wide range of package sources and has the option to self-host.

>If I'm a restaurant owner and someone is taking up a seat while drinking free tap water, of course I'm not going to like that.

Not how it works. You get free tap water with your order. So no need to use up a plastic bottle.

In extremis you can sometimes walk in if a restaurant isn't busy, ask for a glass of water, drink it while standing, and leave immediately. You would never sit in such a circumstance

I appreciate their transparency. It should make you trust them more because they're letting you know about the problem.

Some organizations would simply ignore this and move on. You'd never know it even happened.
Besides, with belts you need to get lucky with the hole placement.

Great! Now all we have to do is tear down and rebuild old buildings, coordinate window policy with hundreds of tenants, and build out expensive air exchangers that don't run on electricity. That is much better than AC.

Interestingly the images on this site did not load until I disabled my adblocker...

In the uBlock Origin settings the second tab ('Filter lists') contains a list of filter files, some of which are enabled by default and some of which aren't. I checked the boxes to enable some additional filter lists - everything in the 'Built-in' category except Experimental, and everything in the 'Annoyances' category.

It's been a while since I enabled these so I don't remember what exactly all of them do, but I rarely see a cookie banner or a modal popup subscribe dialog, I think due to these extra filters. These extra filters also include social blocking ones, which delete like/share buttons such as those from Facebook and Twitter (these buttons are useless to me). I think one of the rules in these extra filter lists is matching on your images, which are on the path '/assets/images/tmw-twitter-xxx.png.' The uBO logger shows the rule being matched as '/images/twitter-' and that it is present in Fanboy's Annoyances and Social Blocking lists.

Of course there's nothing wrong with the site, the images here are just a casualty of a blocking rule. But it was an interesting 'bug' to find.
If you are interested in turbine engines, I highly recommend this guy's youtube channel as he will teach you everything you ever wanted to know and more about how turbines work. This video is about the compressor and it's actually a very simple component. Pretty much the only thing that can go wrong is that metal fatigue starts to form where the fan blades meet the hub. I suspect that the size of the compressor is resulting in larger centrifugal forces causing fatigue to occur quicker.

The rooms' data compression remind me of the Pokémon sprites during battles in Pokémon Gen I/II (Red/Blue(/green) and G/S/Y). As I remember it, the in-battle sprites (which are fairly large) are "compressed" using a custom algorithm. IIRC, it does RLE, and has some facilities for doing dithering, which was used in a lot of the sprites to give the impression of more color depth than there actually was. And they were only 4-bit (white, black, and two colors) in G/S/Y!
I very much agree with your first part, and slow software make me physically uncomfortable sometimes. But I think you overestimate your last point. Can you name examples of software that could (partly) be recreated faster as a side project?
There are a lot of opinions being floated here, so I feel free to float mine. I think that the use of private contractors for public works leads to corruption and large cost overruns.

It is a truism that government agencies lack competition, and thus can be less efficient and/or innovative compared to private enterprise. However, as we know, private enterprise's goal is profit, and profit only requires efficiency in the face of competition and price sensitivity of the consumer. While there can be competition and price sensitivity during contract bidding process, this can be corrupted through back door dealings, political donations, etc. Perhaps even more dire, is that government agencies may be bad at keeping contractors to the terms of their contract, being responsible for cost over-runs, etc, who actively wish to get the government to pay as much as possible. I think that infrastructure would be much cheaper if it were designed and built by government employees of the relevant agencies, because although they might not have extreme efficiency, they have no profit motive to swindle an inattentive government consumer. It is my opinion anyway. I do not have the resources to find the relevant data to see if there is a correlation in cost and private vs public employee construction. I'd like to see some empirical meat on my hunch. I did find several articles:

Well. I operate under the idea that we can only perceive three colors. Everything else is based on the brain's interpretation of that input. That is, for example, we don't see purple, the brain invents purple.

That aside, simply put, reality is a consensus. And it exists collectiveky for those who buy into that agreement.
The whole point of the 737-MAX was that it was a modified 737, and that’s why what would now be considered unsafe design features were allowed (reducing development costs and time to fly), and why MCAS existed: to hide that it was a new aircraft.

I think the situation is reversed for fusion as it is for fission. Fusions requires fine control and energy input to keep going. Where fission you need fine control and constant energy removal to keep the process from running away.

As an aside, when reading this I considered a fun alternative theory (I'm not actually proposing it as any kind of truth) that if it's ultimately discovered that the processes behind the creation of life are just too complex to be duplicated in our universe...

...Rather than invoking a god which comes with its own problems (i.e. who/what created the creator) one could infer that life came from a universe where the physics/conditions for creating life are possible, and life somehow crossed branes moving from one universe to the next.

Consider a reverse/inverted universe where instead of space being a void, space is solid containing voids/cavities/pathways between voids, allowing complex chemical processes to occur naturally and at great scale.

That's not how economies work. The people who work at Boeing take home money and spend it in the local economy. That effect happens several times for each dollar taken home. Same thing happens for Boeing suppliers, they pay their people and those people spend in to the economy with a multiplier effect. This, spending money earned by workers, is how the engine of the economy is fueled when it is healthy.

Who do you think is going to be paid the dollars that Boeing workers are spending now, if they shut down?
