> But, even in the 21st century, it's a struggle to get compliance with hand-washing rules in hospitals.

Wash your hands 12 times a day for a week and you'll understand why people might not want to comply.

I want my doctor to wash his hands, but I can at least sympathize as to why he might not want to.
Agree with this in order of magnitude at least. Even if it's 10 and not 1 or 2, the costs are relatively low. They have drug and other money. Hire for aptitude, train the trainer. Everyone else is shackled by plausible deniability. DPRK gives zero f*cks. Best candidates, best training, whatever equipment, training, and info you want, and go...no bars held.

It's all about removing constraints.

Does this play nice with Python youtube-dl? [1] [2]. I want to run a python script on my computer that captures youtube audio of certain government meetings without first having to dl the entire video and convert it (while doing a bunch of other stuff before and after automatically, all without me touching anything).

That autonomy was a choice made by the British government. The British government does not get to absolve itself of actions taken by its citizens for hundreds of years that had governmental support.

Edit: if I built a fleet of warships, flying the US flag, escorted by full US Navy warships began starting shooting wars with other countries, can the US government just go "not us, private citizens, we don't have anything to do with that"?
Actually, seems Hilbert pushed Einstein to think and publish it first
Surely this is a link to a Facebook page with the form, rather than actually performing the action? Because the latter would just be so exploitable.

I strongly agree with this, and want to add one wrinkle.

Depending on how you count, I have somewhere around 30Y of paid coding experience. It took me until maybe 5 years ago to have discovered this for myself.

One thing I've noticed, though, is that if you create a culture around this, you'd must have guide rails in place. Otherwise, in the wrong company, or people will use the culture to present shoddy work with the expectation that other (senior or not) developers will challenge. These people exploit the culture by using shoddy implementations and challenges to offload hard parts of their projects. This is the mirror image of the illegitimate questions: illegitimate claims.

As a senior engineer, you should ALWAYS be willing to lead from the front with code deliverables, but your review-to-code ratio is so skewed that the number of times you can satisfy that kind of challenge is low compared to the number of times when you might offer (sometimes negative) input.
A few years ago, I was working in a company that used a shared drive on a local Windows network. Several analysts and people from other departments would use the drive to store shared price lists, tables, and other documentation. Part of my job was to keep these data files updated with info on a daily basis.

The problem with trying to edit these files was that everyone logged in on the network had access to them and could change them arbitrarily. Or they could even just inadvertently lock the files if they left them open on their PCs. There was no control or change management.

I decided to keep the 'canonical' versions of the files on my PC at work and use Unison to sync them over to the shared network versions of the files once a day. Unison would instantly tell me if anyone other than me had changed the files, and I could investigate further. It was a huge relief knowing that I had proper control over those files.
I have an idea:

Crawl the page, create similarity hashes of the text and image contents, and keep track of the metadata and outbound links, which will probably match or mostly match between page versions, and related pages (particularly if they contain social media tags, or author and publisher, etc.)

If any two submissions match text and images within some margin, or share the same links, consider one a possible dupe and ask the user if they want to post it or just vote up what seems to be the existing article (this will allow user curation to reduce false positives.) Also, automatically flag reposts for mod review later.
Muslims inherited a great number if slaves from the empires they conquered. The most responsible political course of action was to introduce gradual manumission with incentives that would benefit the people of the Caliphate. So yes, they did free slaves. It wasn't some fairy tale day 1 everyone is free now, let society burn in disorder, do whatever you want, but it was the correct thing to do.
I haven't used 8chan but I doubt 100% of their content is hateful content. I also doubt most of their users are hateful...

If you penalize and normalize website censorship because of bad actors then what's to stop a big company from barraging a smaller site with malicious users to get it taken down thus removing competition?

It's a dangerous game to play if anything. You can only do so much with the money you have. I know I couldn't stop people from commenting hate on my websites, I don't have the resources or people to deal with that. Should I be taken down for something I can't control? Do I have to have a certain ratio of content to get by? How long is the window to fix bad content?

Within America, at least, there are still quite heavy subsidies to fossil fuels companies to keep them competitive and keep jobs local - their survival is partially due to some heavy market manipulation by the government.

This guy is totally right. When there's no change on screen a huge percentage of bandwidth is from iframes, essentially start over points for fast forward and network corruption.

There's a tradeoff between skip/fast forward fidelity, streaming delay, and iframes. If you're not live streaming and don't care how easy it is to skip around the video increase the iframes inverval as much as you want and watch the bitrate melt away

I wrote and ran something like this but the sweet spot was 20 min not 10. The purpose for me was to discover how many 20 min chunks of time were actually productive. The efficiency of planned tasks declines when you assign more hours to it.

But that was not what I ended up measuring. The widget (it was) was like someone looking over my shoulder and modified my behavior. I became insanely productive for a few days then had a weird kind off burn out where I declined to enter anything or wrote "watching youtube videos" for days.

Eventually I replaced the widget with a careful cut out from the movie 1984 so that it looked like a telescreen with big brother looking at me. A factory bell would ring and I would be "forced" to take a break. I got bored with that before figuring out the ideal work/break ratio. (It didnt care what I was doing)

I considered automating self-inflicted activity monitoring but any amount alters your behavior... much like your gut told you it would.

Some laptop modding anecdotes: Thinkpad X61's mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter has the same problem and is well-known among hardware modding users - the screw is tightened and glued in place. When someone tries to unscrew it, one must carefully apply a torque with a high-quality screwdriver, otherwise the consequence is ruining the screw. I made the mistake and killed that screw when I first encountered that screw.

Fortunately there was a simple fix: just use a Dremel tool to cut the screw through the circuit board of the Wi-Fi adapter. The PCB of the Wi-Fi adapter is ruined, but you can now replace it and install a new screw without a problem. (and I think the ground plane is under the screw, just copper without other traces, so the original card may even be fully working, but if you've spent so much trouble to remove it for your upgrade, it's definitely not something you'd like to continue using...)

Since then I went to get a set of high-quality screwdrivers and never had the same problem on other similar machines.

Clearly NASA's Apollo programme would have been more of a success with only one or two people executing it. Or the Large Hadron Collider. Or the Linux Kernel (and no, that's very much not the work of one person). Or anything else of any real scale or import.
Yes! I built the 2600k in 2011, put on a very chunky Noctua NH-D14, found a stable clock and it's just been running like that ever since. Not a single BSOD.

I'm the host of a house on AirBnB. At that location, we never get business travelers.

In fact, most people are large families or friends coming down for the weekend. They want to be in one area together instead of separated apart like one may be at a hotel. This would be one of the advantages of an AirBnB.

However, I don't see business travelers using this service all that often. Perhaps AirBnB will begin offering subsidized listings to entice more companies to opt for their listings.

For the first hundred years of their existence there was an autocratic monarchy, a civil war and a dictatorial republic. Then restoration of the monarchy and the Glorious Revolution at the end of the 17th century that actually established the principle of parliamentary government and sovereignty. Not so much absolving as didn't yet exist...

The company was far more a relic of the earlier age - when the sovereign gave favour, handed letters of marque and established privateers. The East India Company and the Dutch East India Company similarly were more corporate states than companies as we might recognise them.

From whatever I have read so far North Korea government is pretty much a criminal organization like the Mafia . They forge money, sell drugs, abduct people, sell weapons. Pretty much anything is fair game as long as it makes money without any regard for health or life of their own people or foreigners . In addition they have a propensity for killing each other. I think it would make a great mob movie.

Perhaps the consumers of the water relocate? Whether you view that as a mundane suggestion or a crazy suggestion depends on more context. Are these areas different neighborhoods, towns, states, countries? Who is consuming the water (golf course, agriculture, residential lawns in a desert, etc.)? Are the pricing models reasonable or are they distorting the water use/consumption? Is the shortage due to increased demand or a problem with supply? Is there a functioning price signal for the water consumption (i.e. does the price goes up if the supply is limited or demand increases)?

I think this is a topic where the details matter quite a bit, it is hard to generalize.

As a customer, this is a problem for me.

——

Analogy: I offer to cut your lawn every week, and to shovel your driveway/walk when it snows, all for an annual fee you find attractive.

I get a lot pf customers, put together a pitch deck, then raise a bunch of money to expand.

With the money, I buy a fleet of massive snowplows, trucks that can carry ride’em mowers, equipment for doing landscaping, and while I’m at it, I start up a property management company that specializes in AirBnB owners.

“Sorry,” I tell you, “But I have to raise my fees, your property is too small for me to take a advantage of my equipment, and Also it’s inefficient to have lots of small customers so I’m tacking on a per-invoice surcharge.”

Lawn-cutting can indeed grow into a bigger business, and for me, that’s great. But for you, maybe the best thing would be to hire a teenager who is happy cutting lawns for a decent price.

Summary: If a company is in business A, but it isn’t happy doing A and really wants to do B, C, and D to satisfy its investors’ ambitions, that may be an excellent play for the company, but a terrible play for its existing customers.
Your claim this isn't whataboutism is interesting based on a quick reading of your comment history. It sure doesn't appear that you actually care about these other issues or you're just trying to provide 'perspective'. Think about the ideals you associate yourself with before complaining that people are putting words in your mouth.

Whitewashing the proud boys:

> The proud boys are a strange white power group when they have prominent black members.

Claiming UKIP aren't racist because they are 'normal' people:

> Have you actually talked to many UKIP supporters? I've spoken to UKIP when they knocked on the door and they seemed like pretty normal people.

(I'm sure they're normal, but they're also racists)

Claiming apparent race-baiting:

> As for the the actual article you linked, the author herself has nice race-bait titles of work

Comparing criticisms of historic oppression in science to Nazi Germany:

> There is also ideas of "Colonial Science" or "White Science" which reminds me of movement of removing "Jewish" Science and Mathematics in preference to "Aryan Science" before World War II.'

I might not call you a racist, but you're sure carrying a lot of water for them.

"Something else" indeed. Recently a scam site popped up that copied the branding of our site, autotempest.com. (They registered autoStempest.com and copied our logos and such.) They claimed to be a dealership based in Texas, but were actually posting fake vehicles and having people wire them money (which they obviously kept).

One of the things these scammers did to appear legit was set up a Yelp page with a bunch of fake reviews. We informed Yelp, but they refused to remove the page, because they "believe that the public benefits from sharing their experiences with local businesses." Obviously that doesn't make any sense since the entire business is fictitious, not to mention trademark infringing, but that was their response. So I did the only thing I could—posted a 1-star review of the fake business, warning people about the scam. Yelp removed my review, with the explanation that I did not appear to be a customer of the business.
I confirmed with a third party while we were out. So either they were being polite (doubtful) or they also smelled the same and didn’t notice it.
I think they are going for the smaller ones anyway, given they are looking to fetch and park them closer for the actual mining. If you are patient and know some orbital mechanics, it takes surprisingly little energy to move stuff around up there. If you can automate it and be sending missions out regularly, sure it takes a while to get your first asteroid back, but after that you can have a steady supply.
