That's not evidence. Here's some evidence --- it's not dispositive, but it's more compelling than "this is how it seems like the pharma industry would act based on their other behavior" --- more dollars are spent on research on combating malignant neoplasms than on any other condition, and the most lucrative anti-cancer drugs tend not to be lifetime prescriptions. Both statements are easily confirmed with Google.

But it's also not responsive to the original argument, which is that MBAs have directed researchers to discover only mitigations and not cures to disease --- that the industry is actively avoidant of curative discoveries. That's an extraordinary claim.
Oh I’d be thrilled to play WC3 Tower Defence again. Those were loads of fun.
This is horrible. Are they news providers who call on these fake or say altered videos validating the source and truth?
Houthi drones can and do fly 900 miles carrying significant ordinance, it's happened multiple times.

They started on their drone journey buying cool consumer drones on aliexpress for $100 or so and modifying. They have access to the internet and enthusiast blogs and have rapidly grown their industry. Obviously unlike quadcopters they don't rely on wifi but rather use other RF bands. These people have lived there in the desert for tens of thousands of years. They are smart people and able to understand and improve on designs.

It's not particularly sophisticated, liek on the Manhattan Project level requiring state backing. There are kids doing this stuff for fun without their parents even realizing.
Spotify is cracking down on family plan sharing again by asking for userlocation
Not the OP, but it'd see it as multiple SVs. Basically you figure out what the range would be from the SVs to whatever location you want the things to think they're at, and put out all the signals to make that happen. Spoofing a single SV is pretty useless, you have to spoof at least enough of them to give you a position solution.

That's why FreeBSD created jails, the idea was to actually make a secure chroot.

The original purpose of chroot was nothing more than control where an installer installs its files.
This is classic war fare and not terrorism. The Saudi's have made a mess of the conflict in Yemen, which is more or less part of a bigger proxy war that also involves the US and Iran. On paper it's rebels vs what passes for a government there locally. But in practice it's Iran sponsored weaponry vs. Us & EU sponsored weaponry. If you look at a map, the reasons are obvious. The Saudi's are connected to international waters via two narrow straights that border on Iran and Yemen. Yemen is strategically relevant to Iran for this reason because it allows them to isolate the Saudis.

What Iran is demonstrating here is that they can put the squeeze on oil supplies. The wars in the middle east are fundamentally oil centric. It's about who gets to supply oil to the world in exchange for vast amounts of dollars. The ideology gets the headlines usually but if you follow the money, you end up in Riyad, Teheran, Moscow, Washington, and Tel Aviv. Iran is making a very basic point here: we can shut down your oil any time we want.

It's a clever move since it puts everybody on the spot economically. In related news, Trump is planning to meet Rouhani. I'm guessing they have a lot to discuss.
Yes, I don't think we are disagreeing here. Perhaps I should have said intention of regulation instead of regulation. The past events showed that the regulation was rotten, not watertight and prone to abuse. Thus there was a restructuring from the ground up, not only in the law but also in culture, and so Facebook's behavior is triggering all the red flags.
It's not pointless, because control of monetary policy is exactly why they are banning it.

Technology. Now with relatively cheap drones you can have surveillance, bomb delivery, and you can mostly hide and not risk your operatives loosing their lives. Before there was the annoying bit of having to brainwash them to blow themselves up along with the bomb they where delivering on foot, by car or boat.
I think they wanted to write "Nothing" instead of "Anything".
Since this seems to be a project by Red Hat developers I'm curious to see how this fits in with dbus which seems to have overlapping concerns.
It's pointless because you're not going to persuade anybody, but rather recapitulate a timeless, tedious dorm-room argument. The article is about Germany and Facebook. It isn't an essay on whether central banking is evil.
Where did he say that Guiffre was willing? In the leaked email I saw, he said

"We know that Giuffre was being coerced into sex...". What he's disputing is whether Marvin Minsky knew she was being coerced. There's also some usual RMS verbiage about how age o consent laws are arbitrary (which I don't think he's necessarily wrong about, it's just not a tactful thing to bring up)
My comment referred to engineers at big tech companies, not the average engineer more generally. The job market is still really strong for engineers across the board, not just SWE. Experience at big tech companies still looks great on a resume, and those companies tend to be geographically concentrated in areas with lots of other tech companies.

To be clear, those engineers' quality of life may be dependent on working at big tech companies. But their ability to make a living and support their families is not. They have made the decision to contribute to abuses of human rights in exchange for a larger salary (and prestige, among other factors), and at least in my eyes, they're just as responsible for the consequences of that decision as their managers are.
It’s a bit hard to unpack as there seem to be multiple unrelated things there but i think the gist is classic problem of smaller nodes causing more resource fragmentation. The solution to increase node size is also classic and easy enough in cloud environment but has its tradeoffs as well (like lower reliability)

You needed airplanes, and antiaircraft weapons were so much cheaper. With drones the calculation is the other way around. It completely changes the face of war, offensive warfare is now possible again. Ernst Jünger said something similar when he witnessed the first tanks in World War 1.
Interesting image.

One thing to consider, to further your thought exploration: it seems that in the human brain, both data and logic use the 'same hardware', i.e. storage and processing are reliant on the same physical structures. Memory, for all we know, is a factual impression whose topology is closest to giving it 'meaning'.

I picture it as having a mesh+distributed multi-CPU system, wherein CPU/core 'cache' is in fact all of memory (no 'external' RAM or cold storage, physically). Data seems sharded between CPUs, i.e. topology of neurons (notably diameter of 'network connections', axons and dendrites).

I can picture indeed chunks of data 'lighting up' and enabling some partial processing during REM / dreams. Another crucial observation, I think, is related to "EMDR" (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It's both the natural way we deal with small traumas in our sleep, and has become a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences (think horrors of war, grave assault, etc).

This is purely mechanical and essentially helps de-correlate emotions from memory, i.e. you de-sensitize memory, learn to think about X without feeling the PTSD.

There is also a fundamentally "adversarial" discourse in the human consciousness: internally we both speak "as" and "to" ourselves, we freely move from "I" to "you" in monologue.

I don't have a proposition to tie all this. Just sharing food for thought.
I don't believe your comment is responsive to the thread.

My contention is that nothing in this article shows or even purports that the Sacklers committed a corporate accounting crime. Apparently people disagree with the position but I haven't seen any greatly articulated arguments why I'm mistaken.

Wiring around your own lawfully obtained money isn't a crime. Taking profits from your private company that isn't facing bankrupcy (2008-2016) broadly isn't a crime.

Negotiating a different deal with State's Attornies than the highest offering bid by the SA's also isn't a crime. It's not the family's lowest offer; it's the mutually-agreed settlement.

There's a lot of reason not to like the Sacklers or Purdue Pharma! And there's a lot of reasons they should maybe lose some money or go to jail! Those reasons are just unrelated to the contents of this article — which is stirring up shit that looks bad to laypeople but isn't criminal.
Absolutely absurd claim. It's not expensive at all. Iran may or may not be providing technological assistance, but US amateur enthusiasts and mom and pop chinese resellers definitely are. No Iranian conspiracy here or needed. Drones are not magic genies unavailable to all but the elite. Drones, including these fixed wing models, are kid tech these days, including drones with 1000 mile ranges that can carry bombs that can destroy a facility.
> The NHS provides universal care but not universal treatment. You go to the doctor, they go shrug can't help you.

That isn't actually the case. There are certain treatments and drugs that NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) [1] won't sanction due to them either being ineffective or too expensive for the returns, but mostly you will get coverage for pretty much everything.

The main issue with the NHS is waiting times, but that can easily be avoided by topping up with private healthcare for about £80pm.

So, because of the NHS private healthcare is also cheap.

The problem there is that that's a well understood threat model, mitigated with (unqualified) manpower.
Responding to drones requires a more technical solution which might not be realistic to deploy en masse.

Basically it momentarily eliminates the advantage of supreme military power; "you got F16s", and you spend $1.8m [0] for each cruise missile, and we will make you never sleep again with 100k (I have no idea about the types of drones and their costs - just throwing a number).

Similarly, once can disrupt (peacefully - no deaths) civil aviation, e.g. use of drone in Heathrow airport. [1], [2]

I live in a country with universal healthcare and still you have to pay for a lot of drugs you need when you are older. There are older people who have to choose buy drugs or food as well.

Without commenting on your larger point, it's doubtful that Yemeni engineers are building these drones.

Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world and presumably their engineering capital is presumably not huge. The Houthis are backed by Iran. Iran (which has far more engineering capital and was accidentally gifted a US military drone several years ago) has military drones.

It sounds far more plausible to me that Iranian support is how the Houthis obtained these drones.
But they post their summer vacation photos on the company web site. What's more legit than that?

This kind of comment confuses me. I know I cannot speak for everyone, but I want to make sure I get as much out of life now and in the future. I just understand the law of diminishing returns. I enjoy a new gadget and a vacation and a delicious coffee. I enjoy them as treats and get great joy out of them. I do not need to buy a new gadget every week or month or year. I do not need ten trips this year. I also can ride my bike to work, save money and have great physical fitness right now (and in my future!)

And after all that, because I spent less money with only a very minor decrease of lost "living" in the form of extras that don't give me lasting joy, I also gain decades of autonomy where I decide how to use my time.
He probably doesn't know this is happening.
eh? you are getting value from the service. if you weren’t, why would you use it?
So in this fantasy scenario, China is fine completely screwing him over, and then let's him inform everyone what information they now have? Seems dumb.
Life is indeed complicated. What fueled Iran's involvement in Yemen was Saudia Arabia invading it. They worked very hard to keep the Houthis at arms length prior to that because as different religious sects go the only thing they really have in common is that the really nasty fundamentalist women-hating Sunni sects (ie the Saudis) hate them both for being different.

And what kick started the war in Yemen? That would be a daddy's boy prince wanting to prove he could win his own war without daddy's help (that went well).

None of which would happen if we didn't really enjoy selling guns to the Saudis, on account of all the money they've taken from us when they sold us oil.

And we'd still be happily selling arms to the Iranian King we installed if they hadn't got sick of it and thrown us out.

So this is on us. All of it.
Historically most banks have charged $1-$2 for an e-transfer (often with a limited number of free transfers per month, or a different type of chequing account one can sign up for to get free transfers), though it seems prices have been dropping in the past few years. Apparently the Bank of Montreal removed e-transfer fees on personal accounts a year or two ago.

So there's definitely still overhead that can make small transfers infeasible, but it's getting better.
Chiemgauer is run by a non-profit and is a regional currency designed specifically to avoid international interests removing money from the area. My home us county has some terrible incarnation of them. Calling it private (implying for profit, in my mind) or at all comparable to Libra requires some flexible thinking when it very different from the Chiemgauer in every sense EXCEPT being run by a non government entity.

Also these bills literally say on the bill what currency they’re pegged to every time I’ve seen them. There aren’t enough in circulation for basic transactions otherwise.

So do you think they are just wasting R&D money and it isn’t an engine to keep the company a going concern? Do you also think that the rest of the tech industry could cut their R&D and stay relevant?

Servers breakdown, while we don’t have any statistics of how often Dropbox needs to replace hardware, we do know how often hard drives fail at scale from Backblaze’s frequent reports.

Why not both? You can get very far with $80-120k/yr in Atlanta or similar.
You see Yemeni citizens defending their country against Saudi war crimes and the murder of innocent civilians as terrorism, huh? No wonder you had to make a new account just to post that opinion! What's your regular account here?
I find reading his blog helpful in that it gives me a new perspective on things. E.g. putting a dollar amount risk on buying a "safer" car and things like that.

I highly recommend reading his blog to many people, in that I think it will help you think a bit differently.

Age difference in manager has never been an issue from my experience. More case of being blocked by initial filtering for being `overqualified`, which in one case - I knew the manager and he had to kick HR's butt for doing what they do best these days. Yes the abstraction layer to a job has grown, before you would agencies and the manager direct. Today you have HR buffers of various forms and with that growth, I've seen a clear shift upon age. Will say in early days it was case of "that's too much money for somebody your age" and "If you was older we would pay you more" with both no question about skills and ability to do the jobs at hand. Though interestingly I did get a response back from a bank once as "overqualified" when I was in my early 20's - but did spot technical errors on the tests they had and agency chap said the boss wasn't keen on having somebody who was better than him as he'd written the tests. So the like minded aspect has some weight in that case.
But the whole money aspect may be a part, companies still (was case when I started work as well) had a mentality that you factored in age when you pay people. So even if you had a young person and an older person who could do the job, you'd pay the younger person less as that was kinda the norm. Though that norm has changed a bit and the days of having somebody 10x as good as the next person and paying them both the same near on has passed, and that is a good thing. As the change about gender, though still needs much work as do many equalities, though again, that's improved.
So on balance, things have improved, but along the way, age has become more defining in mindsets and has a way to go.

But no, I can't support your theory based upon my personal experiences. Not saying that you totally wrong and certainly be the case in some cases/people - though none personally I can attest to myself.
It's a false dichotomy. There's no where in this "movement" that says "choose worse jobs now" or "avoid finding meaningful work now." Choosing to save money by shopping around on your insurance or buying last year's hot new gadget instead of this year's, or holding onto your car for a few extra years all can have a huge impact on your finances (particular if you minimize recurring costs and debt payments combined with investing - it becomes an avalanche.)

More so - the more money you have prepared for your future, the more flexibility you now have to choose the work you want to do. You can still get paid, but you also have a massive cushion and the power to say "no."
The error in your logic is assuming the bank is going to want the same % down payment for a 2% and a 10% mortgage.
Unfortunately I doubt it will still have LAN.

I'm pretty sure this is false on some level. I played through the campaign on the original this last year and every new patch released broke my save files irreparably. Are they claiming that WC3R will work with every version ever put out of WC3? They couldn't even make that happen on the original.
We can break things faster than we can fix them. If we don’t try to fix things in parallel then we are not going to be around for long.

“We should fix X first” is rhetoric from people who don’t want to fix anything or are more interested in being in charge. Don’t contribute to the foot dragging.
