> Nature doesn't care about country borders.

You are right, what nature actually cares greatly, is about exponential population growth with no regard for future sustainability.

Maybe we should look at India's over-population before demanding other countries to sacrifice for India's (and many countries in South East Asia) shortsightedness.
Much of the country is gerrymandered. The popular vote skews less center right than the outcome of the election suggests. And only about half the country votes in the first place.

If you look at where the newly appearing votes went in big wave elections (notably Obama) a big chunk of those votes are left leaning.
Stallman was reviled because he has been accused, by several independent parties, of, among other things:

-Asking female coworkers to lay down topless on a mattress in his office.

-Threatening a colleague to kill himself if he/she didn't go on a date with him.

-Posting up signs in his workplace along the lines of "Knight for Justice (Also: Hot Ladies)".
What I wanted to write was something like type restricted generics, apparently I ended my comment prematurely. Without concepts (interfaces), I find it hard to call this system "good generics" but there might be something I'm missing.
That's just not true. If the DUP and the conservatives had voted to pass Theresa May's deal they absolutely had the numbers to pass it, especially given that on each of the votes there were a small number of Labour MPs who voted with it.

Just casually considered...

James Woods, famous actor and outspoken conservative, was repeatedly suspended on Twitter for posting reasonable comments. He finally quit Twitter in frustration.

Scott Adams, major cartoonist and popular Trump-observing pundit, is regularly demonetized on YouTube for no apparent reason. Some videos are removed entirely if he says certain words perfectly sensible for polite political discourse. Fortunately he has "F U money" and continues producing political content.

Popular conservative show "Louder With Crowder" (of the "...change my mind" meme) has been functionally demonized by YouTube and is struggling to stay afloat on their own servers. Crowder simply expresses views conservatives think reasonable.

There are many such cases.
It means someone who believes they have a high technical ability but in reality has a low to mid ability and know some relevant words. Typically they apply them incorrectly when describing a problem or solution.
And as we can see from the downvotes here on a "tech site" (supposedly the most intelligent of people on this planet), Earth is obviously destined for the same fate.

This is most likely the explanation for the Drake Equation. We don't see other intelligent lifeforms, because they don't become intelligent enough fast enough, and they stupidly destroy their own environment, leading to their own extinction, before they can explore beyond their own star systems.
>Families are even skimping on the 7-cent packets of Parle biscuits that are a staple of India’s morning milk and tea. They are turning instead to even cheaper snacks made by local food vendors, according to Mayank Shah, a Parle executive. Biscuit sales are down about 8 percent, he said, and if current trends continue, the company may cut as many as 10,000 jobs.

Sounds like grave news for the "economy", and good news for India's next seven generations of humans and their habitat.
I believe it’s misspelled, but meant to be “think-they’re-technical” as in, describing users who think they are technical.
They are unelectable as long as communists control the party, IMO. Good.
Right, thanks a lot. We are friends and I've told him that I'm flexible & willing to find a reasonable solution that would be fair to both of us, but the fact that he doesn't want to talk about it at all really puts me in the position you've described. The thing I'm not sure about though is the ownership of the app - if he said to me that he'll simply form another company, I guess I'll wait if they make something of it and then I'll come back asking for a fair share
> although they must be elected MPs

Alec Douglas-Home became PM while a member of the House of Lords in 1963, though he renounced his peerage on becoming PM and stood for a safe seat (Kinross and Western Perthshire). While waiting for the by-election, he was PM without being a member of either house.

It's unlikely this will happen again, but there's as far as I know still no law preventing it.

Is this substantially better than using ublock origin? I feel like my browsing experience is pretty good right now, and I'm uncertain what the benefits to upgrading are.
No! -- at least, that's not what's suggested in the (excellent) course which DanBC linked to. An eye opener for me! Don't divert the focus to others. And (this is my take) don't be talking about what the person mustn't do -- they already feel boxed in! The goal is to steer toward a positive outcome. The course deals with this (and other) points better than I can. Recommended!

Blackstone's Ratio
Yep, I chose that example precisely because of the strong aversion to the word "cunt" in the US :)

Another example would be if I told a friend something incredulous, they might respond with "get tae fuck!" (meaning, "fuck off!"), or "awa' an shite!", (meaning "what a load of shit!").
If you don't raise it to the company, how can you later prove they enabled this kind of workplace (or failed to remediate) if it was never raised to be addressed?
As @theandrewbailey mentioned, DNS is light protocol, I guess even older PIs would handle it pretty well. But, as a permanent solution, I would opt to set up on a VM/Docker so that I could have snapshots to quickly recover the service in the event of a problem.
That looks like a misspelling that should have been "thinks-they're-technical users" i.e. users who think they're technical but aren't as technical as they think they are.
They also promised a profile option you could use to opt-out of arbitration... but never actually implemented it.

How to Design the Perfect Web Form
There is some culture elements in there even if the cynical reasons are the same - those other higher paying occupations are require working with people instead of their products. The dynamics change. Actors need to work with directors and any other actors in scenes. A union's arbitration there appeals as protection for the workers from each other. Workers would agree that they don't want to have to work with a guy who regulary assaults them for instance. A very reasonable case.

This structure like most tools also has a dark use. Not as a "is bad" but "not automatically good". It could be used to perpetuate discrimination as the members don't want those <slurs> working in <their occupation>. As common for bigotry it is not a good move for long term health.

Anyway the sociality seems to be an underemphasised factor to unions. This isn't to say that the non people-to-people jobs should never unionize just that it is especially artifical like say the practice of putting rubber duck covering a fence post point - it is harder to set up and maintain as norm when the first question everyone asks is "Why bother with the duck?"

As far as I am aware there are no serious scientest unions - doctors boards are the closest thing but there are many significant differences.

One thing I had in screen that I think tmux doesn't support is ..."stack keys"?

e.g., in screen I could configure "^a j p" to do one command and "^a j d" to for another:

> bind j command -c foo

> # CMD KEY NAME CMD

> bind -c foo p screen -t '% |db' make db

> bind -c foo d screen -t '% |prod' ssh prod

If that's possible, I'd love to know how. It's what stopped me from switching a few months ago, and is now the most painful change after switching again a couple days ago.
The fact is at average indian income level the consumption has drastically increased compared to Income in last 2 decades. So slowdown like this inevitable.

It is strange that some people claim GST is bad which is kind of forcing lot of firms to pay taxes which otherwise operated in grey area for a long time and never really being captured by existing tax mechanisms. As if not paying taxes is better if well-off people continue buying more cars and eat out more often.

Saving rates in India is much lower so it can not fund further economic expansion. Government and financial media is generally obsessed with petty money in form of Foreign investments for growth. No country has sustainably developed just by foreign funds. It must have substantial saving level to provide low cost funds for investments.
I worked with a guy once that was perfectly happy to let his OSX Mail.app icon "bounce" with new message notifications all day long. He was 10 feet away from me and that bouncing icon caught my eye all the time. I just don't understand how he could work with that thing bouncing at the bottom of his screen all day long.

Some folks just aren't bothered by such things.

Or have better focus than I do.
It was supposed to be "thinks they're technical". In other words, people who think they are more technical than they really are.
Of course gene expression in bacterial isn't the same as humans...obviously when building synthetic life from atoms up we aren't going to just reproduce a human in our first effort, we start with a simple bacteria, and because of the complexity (and our lack of understanding of the gene expression in even simple bacteria) we purposely reproduced the bacteria with about 1/2 the genes for the sole purpose of studying those genes.

But maybe I am wrong and this is in no way helpful for studying gene expression.
Ditto. I like the logging capabilities and multiple pane capabilities in tmux better than I do in screen.
Putting Amazon Textract to the Test
It is not uncommon in languages for crudeness to serve as an indicator familiarity. In America one might jovially refer to a close friend as a "bastard", "motherfucker", or in certain subcultures use a word no white person except Eminem is allowed to use. I've heard many a young woman address her young female friends as 'cunt' or 'bitch'. Similarly, formality is often used to put distance between yourself and people you don't like, i.e. by calling them "sir".
I think you're misunderstanding what I meant by "low hanging fruit".

It's easier for me to affect my Town, State, and US political action than it is to influence Chinese policy. I can vote for green policy candidates who can institute actual change in the US. I have no ability to do that in the US.
I'm enjoying NiGui[0]. It uses Windows (Win32) API for Windows and GTK3 for Linux/Mac. It doesn't have every feature added yet, but it does have quite a few and is easy enough to add more.

This is what holds me back from using it too. I would love network wide ad blocking but I hate breaking things for no reason. Sometimes certain websites just refuse to work properly with ublock, mainly comment sections and things like that. With a browser extension I can just click and disable for that site temporarily and be happy. With a Pi-hole it seems like way more of a task if something does not work.

And no, I'm not going to spin up and maintain multiple pi-hole instances on my home network. That crosses into the 'madness' territory, I have enough stuff to maintain as it is.

This was really insightful, thank you.

Yes, it's just a job and I should internalize that more. I just love what I do and want to do my best... And I look around and I don't see the same enthusiasm. Ive been in this industry for 18 years now and I still don't know how to handle these differences when working with other people.

One thing I thought about was leading by example. My PRs will follow best practices, my projects will have proper docs, I'll consult others about design decisions and incorporate user feedback etc. But I'm pressured to deliver as fast as possible... which is one of the reasons that the infrastructure is the way it's.

Anyway thanks again, this gave me a lot of food for thought and I really appreciate it.

I don't know if it's really a fad. I use plenty of English words when speaking Estonian to somebody that also speaks English well. Sometimes the language switches every other sentence or even mid-sentence. Some concepts are just easier to put forth in English.

I suppose part of this is that a lot of tech vocabulary in Estonian either doesn't exist or is quite awkward.

"I own 40%"

If you own part of the company you don't just give that up without there being express wording in the charter (or whatever contract/paperwork you used to create the company). The problem you have is that right now, you own 40% of nothing so you're going to pay the lawyer you talk to (rather than have them work on contingency).

I should also note that this seems like a weird time to leave a startup ... did you really think you could cash out in just two years? Perhaps you haven't been "invested" in some time?
>If propaganda has been induced in social networks, there should be evidence about that.

There's tons of evidence of that, provided by both Facebook and Twitter. They did the same here in the UK.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-46590890

However I do not believe the Russian propaganda was decisive in the election. Like most such propaganda it just went into the wash, but it did happen and did have an effect, not so much swaying the vote one way or the other but in terms of polarising opinion and poisoning the debate.

An attempt to sway opinion would be aimed at the centre, where the swing voters are. Russian propaganda is aimed squarely at the left and right wings trying to push them further apart.
> which is the integrity of the single market and solidarity with Ireland, which is a member state.

It's a sad indictment on my country that the EU seems to care more about the Good Friday agreement than what seems like a majority of the current Johnson backing Conservative MPs (and I'm not even sure about Labour).
Why is this downvoted? It's absolutely true, and disproves the parent's point. Japanese cars are probably the most popular here (I'll take his word for it, it certainly looks true just looking at the cars I see on the road, and if it isn't true, it's close), and they aren't expensive to fix at all. Parts and service aren't a problem at all.

The parent obviously doesn't remember the terrible reputation British cars got in the 70s.

Yes. And people sought to address the specific causes of tubercular beef while leaving the rest untouched because they weren't cared about the exploitation and abuse of laborers as much as their own health.
> it appears that for a chunk of the population the available jobs do not pay well enough to meet a certain standard of living.

That is definitely true, but it's also pretty much the exact opposite of "always".
So I've heard. But you could use that argument to claim that literally anything is on topic.
The UK has a phenomenally large number of low productivity businesses (the BoE has written tons on the productivity crisis). To suggest that businesses would go bust who wouldn't have gone bust otherwise is to confuse cause and effect.

For most businesses, it won't make a tremendous difference. Imports are becoming more expensive but this is something that likely would have occurred anyway because of weak competitiveness/low savings rate.

Exporters are probably going to come out even or ahead (the change in the £ has offset tariffs).

The situation at the border is somewhat concerning (although only worth 1-2% of GDP in most studies) but has also been distinctly complicated by the switch from CDS to CHIEF (which was supposed to happen years ago but didn't). We could get this right, unf we have got to the point where we are choosing not to.

The main concern for the UK economy is actually supply. The labour market is very tight, unemployment is the lowest it has been for four decades or so, wages are growing like crazy, and we have had deflationary effect due to the delay (which has crushed investment) but, at some point, this is going to come back and there is no spare capacity.

It would be a sweet relief for the marginal, low-productivity businesses that are suffocating the economy to fold (the reason we have low productivity and tight labour is because too many people do jobs that are unproductive, these businesses will not give up resources willingly).

> In school the PM was always explained as "their version of President".

In US terms the role of the PM in European parliamentary democracies is closer to the role of the head of a US government agency than the president, i.e. the head of the DOD, USDA, DOE etc.

Except the role of this "agency" is "run the country". But it's the same in the sense that the head of a US agency serves at the pleasure of the president, the PM serves at the pleasure of parliament.
"Why bother with a life of thinking if the conclusions are already foregone?" is a quite peculiar thing to say considering the state of affairs of today's world where there is literally very little left of chance anymore and you are not in control of your own life, ever increasingly with every passing day as the global ruling class cinches down on humanity more an more through technology, that makes everything more or less a foregone conclusion.

What you may want to consider is the reason and fact that why, as the western culture has been infested with the religions and values and spiritual practices of mostly the far east while their take-over is celebrated and cheered on, their domestic equivalents in the monasteries and churches has been utterly vanquished and destroyed and polluted and salted to the point that people like you don't even have a rudimentary understanding for them.

Today throngs of gullible women, predatory men, and xenophilic people in general pursue various forms of Hindu spiritual practices called Yoga, while Christian and even other pagan spiritual practices are denigrated and polluted and destroyed as the cultural genocide washes over the western world in an odd kind of suicidal mania.

There is no reason why Monasteries could not have been elevated to a cult status like Shaolin Monks, or various Yogis, were it not for the relentless communist subversion tactics that both destroyed and infested the western world with relentless cultural pathogens to destroy the native cultures and elevate cultures that groom people to allegiance with their interests.

So much has already been lost by various means to the point that people do not even have any sense whatsoever for the magnitude ... like having no idea just what was lost when the library of Alexandria was burned, even if we have a deep sense that literally centuries worth of knowledge and technologies that probably had to be reinvented decades if not centuries later were lost. In many ways, so humanity is losing massive amounts of knowledge and skill and spirituality through the abdication and abandonment of one's own culture, for a fraudulent propaganda tool farce version of another. It's sad actually, what is will be lost as this craze of communist washes over the western world that has been driving humanity forward for around 3,000+ years ... and doing so with nothing even remotely similar to a suitable replacement.

I know that may not make sense to you, but the children of the heirs of what will be left of the western world will have to suffer for it regardless.
