I read this in a similar way as the Mueller hearing: there wasn’t anything added by having a senior civil servant be read his own findings in open court, and confirm that he did write that. Little of what Hugues can say, which is essentially his latest OpEds, gains being formally processed by the administration.

But it gives press attention to an interesting effort, and Hugues can repeat what I think is his key point: Mark is a genuinely well-intended, value-driven and well-informed person; however, that doesn’t matter, monopolies are dangerous, even in the hands of Mr Rogers. And Hugues understand social media better than most regulators and can recommend better principles, like inter-operability, and give context, notably on abuse control.
That would probably be better on tourist economies if it took off and had influence at least - a more even level of flow as tourists choose between their preferences is more sustainable and less likely to have nasty "invested to handle the flow better and they are gone" shocks.

Doh. Of course. Thanks.
As also a French, I think the French are expecting too much from the EU and that this hope is vain because most of the other countries are quite happy the way EU is right now (and as such, they don't care if it is stuck by Brexit or whatever).

> At these point I feel compelled to remember that quote from Socrates about how the kids are all rude and disrespectful these days. So maybe nothing ever changes and we're just getting old and grumpy.

It's this. Sorry to break it to you. People also change their behavior to you based on your age. As a single example, as you age and slow down, younger, faster folks will be more frequently annoyed with having to dodge past you on the sidewalk, which will predispose them to be more rude around you in general. It's a whole complicated host of things, and as you say, it's been true since the beginning of time.
We do have some solutions, if it’s meant to be run as a SaaS or it’s got a major supplier doing updates and support, then we can use whatever.

The problem comes when we want to contribute or run things ourselves, in which case I’m not sure stuff like avro would help us, because we genuinely can’t keep X server technology secure or even updated with our available resources. I mean, I’m sure our Azure and ADFS technician could learn how to operate a JBOSS server on red hat, but he doesn’t have the time to do that and do his regular job. He might not even be interested in doing it, being one of the most talented Microsoft technicians I’ve ever met, he might simply move to a place that let him work with what he enjoys. Those aren’t great engineering arguments for not running JBOSS, I know, but that doesn’t mean it’s not part of managing an IT team.
So you scratched your itch, now you are hoping someone else does the actual work.
CSS/Html has a lot of tricky corners, where you spend 1 hour to understand why things are not as you expect. My latest issue was with a webpage that when I print it to PDf the tables font was different, the cause was that for some reason the browsers rendered that page in quirks mode(I could not figureout why since I had the correct header) but not when printing to pdf.

In quirks mode the tables font styles except the font family are not cascading from the parent, I did not knew that.

In other case I remember I had to add a min-width:0 to a rule because the layout engine has a large number of paths it can take and adding that rule would push it in the correct path.

The current project I work was not started by me so please don't say I should have used X, I can't now just put a reset css in the project, it could break 100 things all over the place.

Other issue I hit sometimes is aligning checkboxes,radio buttons and labels in all browsers, I get asked to pixel perfect align them, the bootstrap css we use does not do it, so we have to add rules with padding, min-heights and other things to get the result done ,

I use flexbox for the new layouts I create but working with old css that uses float,possition:relative is a pain for me.

I have a solution, have an html6 css4 thing , that is not backward compatible, make it so if you do a stupid thing like have 2 elements with the same ID the page won't render,drop html elements that we do not need. drop all old css crap, like float should work only for floating text and images not for layout, have only 1 way to layout things, 1 way to center things, 1 way to put gap between children... at least the lucky ones that start from zero can have less problems . We still keep the old html5 for compatibility reasons.
That got me thinking as well. Is it simple for me because the years of experience or is it really not that simple?

I would say that HTML and CSS is not hard, but complex. It's not the same thing. If something is hard, then the learning curve is very shallow but if it's complex then you can gain solid knowledge bit by bit.

So "html & css is complex" would be a better fitting title.

> The sanctions are for the most part per the request of the Ukrainian government.

Sanctions were pushed by the US for the most part.

> The idea behind the sanctions is in the end to make the life of the populous sufficiently difficult so they will rebel.

The idea is to flex power for the enemy government and other countries, nobody cares about the people. People are definitely not going to be happy about the west after that and even less likely to participate in organized rebellion against the government, as all sides are bad now.
I would recommend to setup a separate Wifi for IoT devices. This has an additional advantage; you can put it on a different spectrum, meaning your normal Wifi will be more free to handle other traffic and keeps the spectrum cleaner.
To be consistent you would surely have to condemn the US and EU for not imposing sanctions on the Chechnya.
I'm not really abandoning it. It's just that I will be spending much less time than I used to, since I am accepting a full-time job to work on something that is not related to this project.
this can easily be abused for monetary advantage.

Also, How do you determine who won the argument? How will the Jury decide the winner? this is all subjective

Winner for traditional debates between two individuals can be decided on quite simply. Whereas, for this scenario, the person staking the argument will have to defend against the whole population trying to bring it down. It won't be a "healthy" competition by any means.

I had a phone call with the Inland Revenue where they collected most of my details by an automated voice based system - which worked flawlessly.

This came as a slight surprise as literally no other voice activated system works for me in any way that is remotely usable (Apple, Android, whatever is in my car...).

I wonder where they get their voice recognition technology from? ;-)
> wearing wedding dresses into the Sacré Cœur and marching past all the no-photo signs to the altar for a fake I-got-married-here pic

I was hiking to a remote castle recently, 30 min drive + mud roads remote, I got there and saw a parked car (there is no parking spots btw), immediately thought "eh, you got to be lazy to come here by car, half the fun is the walk". Five min later I stumbled upon a couple in suit/wedding dress and two photographers, I think I physically cringed at the sight.
But it says you don't believe your own advice doesn't it? If you believed it, you'd exercise despite your laziness. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say you believe a counterfactual more. I'm pretty confident about the effects of exercise, but we're talking here about hypothetical difficult questions. If even the person who supposedly knows the most about a particular argument isn't convinced by it, how can that not reflect poorly on the argument?

But even if I accepted that pointing out hypocrisy is purely argument by ad hominem, I don't see how it would be irrelevant. If someone believes something radically different from me and therefore works towards radically different outcomes, I consciously try to stay open minded in case they know something I don't. If someone isn't consistent in what they profess and what they work towards, I don't feel I owe them that sort of hearing. At best, their ideas are good but they don't understand them well enough to represent them. Would you really call that unfair?

In this case NAT46.

"without a middleman" means it won't rely on some 3rd party to work. As a contrast, for example, a SmartThings hub requires an internet connection to work because (almost) everything is sent to Samsung first.

Yes, but sensitivity is the wrong measure to prove that. It’s the difference between a big-O and small-o complexity.

The trend of decreasing costs for PV has followed an empirical experience curve for decades, with an exponent of about -0.2 (giving cost as a function of cumulative production). There are perennially assertions this trend has ended, but those assertions have never been correct.

Is there any reason to think they will be correct now? I assert no: PV modules are still well away from the costs of the material and energy inputs.

I'll add that fusion economic studies have to posit large learning effects as well, so the "N-th of a Kind" plant is much cheaper than the first. And there, this assumption is dubious, since the closest technology (fission) has not shown good learning effects. That's why fission is failing now -- any technology that doesn't improve eventually gets killed as the competition does.

> It's ok. I don't think we'll transfer to renewables before it's too late anyway.

And you think the transition to fusion would be FASTER? My mind boggles at your double think.

> So you're saying that economics will change grid design? That grids designed for single way of transmitting energy will somehow reconfigure to allow consumers to stream energy to the source?

It's bizarre you think dealing with intermittency would require impossible, or even particularly difficult, changes. If you notice, grids are already becoming smarter, with power markets dispatching on short term prices. Storage and dispatchable demand fit nicely into this system. The market is going to force things in the right direction, which is renewables/storage and not high cost baseload sources.
"Given any input string, the sensitivity of that string is how many bits you could flip that cause the output to flip."

The sensitivity of that string is the minimum number of bits that need to be changed in order to change the output?

Not being snarky - just want to see if I understand. The phrase "how many bits you could flip" is ambiguous.
I read the abstract, anyway.
Really that is a very idealized version of social shaming. It sucks and hasn't been focused where there is any actual utility but instead the stupidest fucking most injust things. A young woman has a naked body under her clothes! Shame and forced resignation from pagents regardless of source. The twisted values of shame culture include major "not unless you get caught" fundamentally. To the point of absurdities where in Japan it is shameful to be identified drunk despite getting smashed being the company norm. And that is before getting into the sociopaths behind these social order ideals.

Really fuck social order and fuck social shaming - may they die and stay dead and buried and we have to deal with petty problems instead of this bullshit.

Being humble in this reference means you put the person's/teams interest ahead of your own.

The opposite for a manager is to dictate actions and take no responsibility for the outcome. A humble leader will explain what the mission is, how we can accomplish it and address each person's role with their own being the support role to make sure everyone else succeeds. Of course good leaders are doing a lot of work to make sure things succeed, but the team sees those as support to help them get to the goal.

As for not being a doormat, this is the critical part, and it means you set boundaries and do not allow anyone to take advantage of you.

What's haunting about that? Finding a husband or wife is a primary concern in almost every culture, so that makes sense.

Along the same lines, the characterization of En-mei as selfish and manipulative seems unfair. His story is a heightened version of a common one: guy grows up in a small town, gets in some trouble, leaves to see a bit of the big world, then goes back home because -- while the big world has some interesting stuff -- the small town makes more sense to him.

Integrating Third-Party Modules
Not many people know of the worst cases. Take the case of Chomsky's "Counter-Revolutionary Violence", which caused angry executives to literally shut down the publisher[1]:

"Sarnoff(chief of book operation, Warner communications) complained that too many of Warner Modular's(small publishing company under Warner communications) works were written by left-wing writers. McCaleb replied that conservative writers were also represented, and that Warner Modular had planned to publish works by Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek.

Sarnoff then canceled the ads for CRV, ordered the destruction of the first printing of CRV, as well as the Warner Modular catalog that listed them, and announced that he would not release one copy of CRV to anybody. When McCaleb replied that such an outrageous move would shatter Warner Modular's staff and shock the publishing world, Sarnoff replied that he did not "give a damn what I, my staff, the authors, or the academic community thought and ended by saying that we should destroy the entire inventory of CRV".

Warner Publishing decided to shut down Warner Modular before CRV could be published. The print run was not initially destroyed because of contractual obligations, but the book was passed on to MSS Information Corporation for promotion and distribution after Warner Publishing shut down Warner Modular. However, MSS engaged in no promotion, as it was not a commercial publishing company and had no distribution facilities. Only 500 copies of the 20,000-copy printing survived. Radical America obtained and distributed some copies, because its staff already knew of CRV's existence.[6] According to Chomsky, the rest were "pulped," not burned. Despite its suppression in the United States, it was translated into several European languages, had two printings in France by the time that The Washington Connection was printed, and CRV's suppression became a "minor cause celebre" in France."

Not to mention that Chomsky was on the verge of being put in prison for protesting Vietnam, while journalists and activists who have either gone to prison or forced to accept terrible plea deals thrown upon them for minor offences. Barrett Brown and Aaron Swartz comes to mind.

The FBI assassination of Black Panther leaders being another.
A modern westerner doesn't really get how it was in the Soviet block.

"Wasn't much better than USSR" is such bullshit on so many levels that it's hard to even to begin. In the US:

- you didn't have quotas to write "correct literature"

- you wouldn't disappear in a gulag for 10 years

- you didn't have to worry about standing in a queue for 1-2h to get fresh bread and sausage (it's easier to contemplate stupid shit when you don't have to worry about food)

- you didn't get assigned to a specific workplace where you HAD to work

- the books you read didn't have ideological crap (due to quotas) like "and children stopped starving because country X is a part of a friendly USSR"

I skipped not relevant bits but probably I still missed quite a few because I can only relay what my parents and others told me (I was born in the late 80s so I didn't get to experience the full glory of USSR).

EDIT: I forgot to mention a well-known practice of labelling people physically ill[1], getting them into physical wards, and pumping them with drugs until they are no longer "a thread". There is no need for a trial, and you can be held there indefinitely.

This is something that needs to happen. Megacorp/government controlled source code hub is simply not acceptable for cultural and ideological reasons. There should be no centralized control of a repository distribution, if you publish it and people use it, no government or corporation should be able to censor it.

> Other measures involve looking for the simplest way to write the Boolean function as a mathematical expression, or calculating how many answers the banker would have to show a boss to prove they had made the right loan decision. There’s even a quantum physics version of query complexity in which the banker can ask a “superposition” of several questions at the same time. Figuring out how this measure relates to other complexity measures has helped researchers understand the limitations of quantum algorithms.

This article is correct, but you can take it to a higher level of abstraction.

All change is interpreted by how it impacts the individual. The article laid out one possible scenario where this results in bad will. But it is broader than that. It is broader than product design. If you look at the people in your world, and think about how they will react to a change, you'll get a picture of how a change will come across, whether that is a product change, a process change, an organizational change, etc.

At the end of it all, it boils down to empathy - the more you can think about change in the context of how it impacts specific people, the better you'll be able to manage it.
