You're not thinking maliciously enough.

If you give a population not only an enhanced ability but also the excuses to concern troll for political points (which the Internet has wholeheartedly enabled, and that a certain political faction favors because of the lip service it pays to the disadvantaged regardless of whether or not it helps them) then that's exactly what you're going to encourage, and that's where the insecurity and defensiveness has come from.

Amplify the wrong voices, reward those voices for being amplified, and you have a tiny cabal of bullies running the world under the banner of "progress".

Fortunately, generations that have seen this bullying happen are starting to rebel against it (and everyone in the generation in which that behavior is dominant are mostly just trying to keep their heads down and avoid being targeted by the bullies), so I think there's still hope for education and the American way in general even though it might appear to waver for a bit.

Almost all EVs have much better energy density than that. The Model 3 has about 246 wh/kg. Most of the new EVs on the market right now are probably ballpark above 200 wh/kg and pretty much all of them offer warranties of 8 years for 70% of their capacity. That would be about 170 wh/kg after 8 years.

400 Wh/kg batteries are starting to reach the market pretty soon (interesting for aviation).

On Windows when you create the dialog there is a flag named "restore directory" or something like this depending on the API. It will open the dialog on the same folder you used last time for this type of dialog for this application. It's stored in the registry. Depending on the application this could be a better default than the currently opened file.

> When you put 1 Euro in the bank, they have discretion as to how to invest this amount and only need to keep a fraction of your money in reserves.

That's... misleading? When you put 1 Euro into the bank, it allows them to hand out credits (promises) of 20 Euro. They don't just loan out what you paid in. They create their own money.
> They have the capacity to do so, it remains to be seen what they do in the face of this, if it were to continue.

Haven't they already been doing that, targeting hospitals and civilian infrastructure in their offensive war? To draw a line back to this attack sounds like putting effect before cause.

KSA tried to restore the internationally-recognized president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi after the Houthis ousted him. The Houthis had strong ties with Iran prior to this intervention, and in fact the KSA intervention aimed to prevent a Houthi takeover that would bring strong Iranian influence and effective control to Yemen.

Either way, the KSA intervention failed, and the Houthis were able to take over and establish themselves as the dominant power in Yemen, so my assertion stand: they currently have no organic reason to launch a campaign against KSA. Normally a rebel force in this situation would focus on stabilizing their own rule in their country.
>the verb 'to entitle' is a strange one in that it is often tricky to pin down what would be the subject of an active sentence using entitle as a verb.

It isn't difficult at all. E.g. in "This coupon entitles them to cheese", "this coupon" is clearly the subject. You may be thinking about thematic structure more than grammatical relations.
I did a blind trial on myself by getting liquid multivitamin (bargain large European superstore brand, powdered), and creating a sequence of vitamin or placebo based on a pseudorandom hash function to take every day with breakfast in drink. The sequence is prepared a month ahead so I don't know on any specific day what I'm getting.

I also record my mood and excercise at some time most days with a survey.

After 2 years, I saw a significant decrease in general happiness on days I took the multivitamin, and a lesser (not p<0.01) effect the following day. I was less likely to leave the house, and less likely to plan a social activity on those days.

I've now stopped taking the multivitamin for that reason.

I'd still like to know if I have stumbled on a p<0.01 fluke, or if I'm unique somehow, if the multivitamins have a negative short term but positive long term effect, if these particular multivitamins are harming me somehow, or if all multivitamins have this issue.

Life isn't long enough for me to find out, but if anyone else is happy to take on a bigger trial, results could be interesting.
Very true. Also, it is almost impossible to find senior engineer opportunities if you have lot of experience. Most companies I spoke to consider it almost a failure that with 15+ years of experience, I am not looking for upper management roles.
This is 100% unrelated to “senior infrastructure engineers” (most of whom I’ve seen end up building pure crap), and import is simply a matter of practicality.

If we followed the (patently poor) advice above, CF users would not have been able to use NAT Gateways - to take one of several prominent examples - for many months following their launch. Terraform was substantially faster to support them, but being able to import resources created outside the normal mechanism for _any_ reason is an essential part of any IaC tool.
I have the same laptop as you. Just install the "tlp" package (The Laptop Project). I'm using Debian but the Arch package should have the same name. You can tweak the settings (/etc/default/tlp on Debian) but out of the box that should get you arround ~4W depending on what is running on your laptop. With light usage that gives more than 10 hours of battery life, even if you don't charge the battery to the max to increase its life (see START/STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0 for Thinkpads in the tlp configuration).

If you have a SSD you can be aggressive on the disk suspend timeout, as there's no spin up/down wear issue as with mechanical disks.

With this the battery life is good enough that I never felt the need to optimize further.

I wonder how these breakthroughs (if they eventually turn out successful and make the previous process uneconomical) affect the “gigafactories” under construction worldwide? Is a change like this going to render a factory useless if it was built for the “previous” process? Or is this something that can be retrofitted quite easily into an existing manufacturing process such as in the Tesla/Panasonic Gigafactory?

Only the pieces that are visible enough to be still recognizable make it into photos in news articles. The real data is very different, especially when you are looking for the micrometer-sized plastics that end up killing fish or getting into bottled water.

Also I noticed the term "microplastics" is used for two different things - one are fragments of plastic size 1-5cm, the other is the size of glitter particles and smaller. It is the second one that's more of a concern.

Socialism and strong unions basically. Your neighbor getting more than you is a big deal if you have strong unions.

Privacy in the Nordics is a bit weird. Everybody is issued a person number when they are born which typically starts with their date of birth. This person number is routinely asked for on all sorts of administrative forms and would also be on the tax declaration along with an address.

Before Finland, I also lived in Sweden briefly. When I turned 25 there, I received a letter from a local news paper (The Blekinge Länstidningen) asking me if I wanted to pay extra for printing a photo along with the happy birth day advertisement they were going to publish for free. They obviously got my name, address, and birthdate from the tax office and they did actually publish the ad (without the photo). Databases with addresses and person numbers were widely distributed. When renting a video tape, you'd simply give your person number and then they'd be able to look up your address. This was in 1999.

So, yes, I imagine there are some GDPR issues with that :-).
“to ask for evidence of violent practices is itself a violent practice.”

This is a scary phrase because it requires immense power be rested in an authority that can not be questioned.

I have a friend who was a victim of domestic violence growing up, terrible beatings. The worst part was that the cause was not always known, a few times a week the parent would go into a rage and beat the first one or two children they saw. The beatings were terrible- belts, shoes, hockey sticks, dowel rods, etc - so my friend tried to avoid them. Early on he would ask “what did I do” and that would enrage the parent more as the offense was so massive that not knowing it was an offense that made the beatings longer.

The only thing that consistently worked was to arrange for other siblings to be encountered first and wear out the parent’s rage. My friend discovered this because his brother kept doing it to him.

My friend never figured out how to avoid the beatings, they just grew up and left.
The wider the bandwidth the faster the rise time of each 'pulse'. The UWB standard allows for a known preamble sequence upon which a particular symbol is designated the ranging pulse. By each pulse having a rise time in the picoseconds it allows for an exact time of arrival to be measured. Exact timestamps can be recorded on each side of the transmission giving the final bit of information needed to calculate tof.

"The lack of cognitive significance in tribal language is a symptom of the deeper disease: the devaluing of the pursuit of knowledge. Students are now absolutists. Students, administrators and some faculty know what is right (and who is wrong). Any challenge to their views cannot be in pursuit of knowledge or even clarification. It can only come from the desire to crush and oppress."

This is a good sentence. I've watched a few videos on YouTube of the interactions between some agitated, angry and "passionate" US campus students directing their indignation at what is often a single lecturer or orderly.

How is the irony of these types of hostile interactions lost of the very folks who insist on "safe spaces"?

That’s why more information on the questioning is so helpful. The quote said it was a professor trying to learn what the grievances were.

The difference with holocaust deniers (really quite an uncomfortable comparison of millions murdered to the demands of a few dozen rich, spoiled young adults that perceive violence) is that there is an existing evidence base documenting the holocaust. You can’t skip this step and there’s a lot of soul searching for the harm is caused to the collectors of that evidence.

Skipping the evidence base and going directly to no questions is a stupid approach in that it will not help people understand and avoid future harm.

* Shots are fired as vehicles refuse to stop
* Dozens end up dead, many more injured, hundreds arrested

I mean, what's difficult here? When you arrive at a car park there's a sign that says "by parking here, you agree to pay £70 per day of parking. The initial 3 hours are free. Your licence plate number has been recorded on entry and will be recorded on exit to determine the amount of time you spent here. If you do not agree to those terms you need to have to leave within 10 minutes of arrival". Basically by parking at someone's property you form a contract with them, as long as the terms of it are publicly and visibly displayed.

Alright, I'll repeat it one more time.

The (attacker's) program is already running inside a chroot -- presumably because they got code execution from some chroot-ed process (after all, chroot is a layer of security right?).

The attacker opens a file handle to ".". They then chroot() to a subdirectory. Then they fchdir() relative to the file handle all the way to the host's root. Then they chroot() to the host root. They have now broken out of the original chroot(). I really don't think I can break it down any further.

Quite right. As a hiring manager I've experienced this first hand. You either have to settle for unprofessional engineers or those who accept the offer stick around, at best, for one year. I've seen engineers changing jobs within 2 weeks.

It's become really hard to hire good engineers in India at Indian salaries. It's actually good thing in the longer run if the overall salary levels rise. On the other hand the talent drain out of India continues to be quite high.
Trump graduated University, so how are you defining self educated?

Zuckerberg received an honorary degree, which suggests the University approved of what he learnt.

I had the same experience a couple of months ago. I spent a weekend banging my head against a wall following their documentation to cross-compile for pi3. Turns out it was out of date and there were also a couple of bugs. Since then they did fix one of the issues I reported. The other one already had a long open issue with no resolution (at the time). But I've lost all interest in trying again for the foreseeable future and I wouldn't recommend the experience.
I can second this. A friend of mine went through a real ordeal to change jobs as a senior IC.

> If they stop developing and marketing the product revenue will decline, they are not in a segment where you can milk a stagnant product for long.

I would argue the exact opposite. This is one of those products where most people just "set it and forget it". As long as the desktop sync continues to work as it does for all major OS's then they most certainly can milk their product for cash.

> I was just pointing out that the numbers are not necessarily as good as they seem and some care is needed to compare it with other companies.

I mean, you can make the argument that any company comparison requires "care" when analyzing it. This is literally why analysts still exist.

> But I'm not sure it is so easy to "print cash".

I think we're getting bogged down in semantics here. For most users of Dropbox, it's literally just a file sync - that's it - and it already works fairly flawlessly (compared to their competition at least). Which means at 70% GM it requires very little effort to continually advance the product. ~$700M alone is being used to continually fuel growth.

> The trains were built to a environmental tolerance spec and shutting down when that spec is exceeded seems like a reasonable thing to do.

Yes, they were built to a spec. According to the official technical report[1] these trains DID NOT experience anything outside that spec. The shut down was not supposed to occur. The trains are simply defective and both manufacturer and operator testing failed to reveal these defects. There is no other reasonable conclusion. Defective, inadequately tested trains.

> Having an expert test that all the safety systems are still working properly after they've been exposed to conditions they weren't designed for also seems prudent.

This bit of guesswork is also contradicted in the official report as the manufacturer has committed to providing a system update to permit operation to resume WITHOUT any of your supposed 'prudence.' Resuming operation on power recovery without intervention by technicians is the specified, expected behavior. This is a separate defect that also survived whatever obviously inadequate testing regime was supposedly in effect.

> Do you think people should pay higher ticket prices / more tax to fund trains that can tolerate a wider range of input frequencies, given how rarely these sorts of events happen?

Since the official conclusion and subsequent response by the manufacturer both show the trains were specified to tolerate these conditions the extraordinary costs you imagine are a fiction; the cost has already been paid. No higher ticket prices required. And since these conditions were specified we also know they were indeed anticipated despite their infrequency.

Both the manufacturer and the operator failed here. They got caught with their pants down. You may not like hearing that for whatever reason but that's the bottom line and inventing excuses won't change it.
