Who in the hell actually hates Greek culture? It's the best part about Greece! No re malaka, we just leave for the money and jobs, but we would all come back if we could have the same economic opportunity and environment. A true Greek loves their country and hurts to see what it has become, and would do anything to see it prosper, even with all the bad, Greeks have been able to consistently maintain the separation between its people and the corruption that is in power.

You literally just linked to two large publications talking about the issues you think don't get attention. India/China air pollution is pretty well known - it was in the media for decades now.

It was actually bad enough, that Beijing was apparently fixing it for the last 20 years: https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/27645/...
You just created an avatar generator for social media trash mobs (trolls, channers, alt-reich scumbags).

Thanks. I hate it.
The company I work for is active in an industry I have zero relation to. I can't relate to the business at all and I'm working with ancient tech. It pays well though and was brought on board by a friend and I don't want to disappoint him by leaving after just 1 year.
A lot of that air pollution is emitted producing products for the US & European markets.
And it's not only the Fed. You have, for example, the ECB, The Bank of England, The Swiss National Bank, etc, etc.

All much, much more trustworthy institutions than any of those companies involved into the Libra project.

And especially more trustworthy than Facebook could ever be.
So there are no good systems of government then.

Well you don’t need to worry about creation, and migrations. You only need to tell the store which objects it needs to know about. You declare everything in c#.

It’s stores it as jsonb. So you don’t need to worry about weird relationships you only worry about your root aggregate. You can index it. Apply full text search. And persisted columns in the map if for convince or speed.

So Yeah it maps the linq to the equiv sql for you. But allows you to work with your object and worry less about persistence. Cos you can add and remove properties. It’s the closest thing I’ve come to, to being able to forget about the database and focus on code.

I Guess unless you write your own database from the ground up so it supports the language as a feature without dropping back to something else. It won’t happen.
I call bullshit. They are telling me they probably make less than I expect they make, but if they actually gave numbers I’m certain it’s far above what most expect and that they would in the light of the actual facts appear quite greedy for wanting more.

If that’s not he case I’m unsure why they push this vague cop out of an attempt to argue why more is justifiable without actually answering the title questions.

Provide the numbers.
It's both important to pick the right tools for the job and also to not get lost in the weeds with that decision, and that's not just a gamedev thing either (though the design work in gamedev makes it really show). I see it a lot in web with pretty much every piece of tech, and the more inconsequential to the functioning of the final deliverable, the more twiddling goes on. Fortunately those twiddlers do tend to really care about the actual technical quality of the project if you can get them actually working on it.
How does the politics and whatever people are saying affect your day to day life though? If you can make 10k a month there and buy a flat for 15k, in a few years you don't even need to work anymore. Why would you not even consider living there? Maybe as the old saying: familiarity breeds contempt

Yes, which bears remarkable resemblance to the Bulgarian situation such that 30 years isn't going to allow for anyone to recover.

And if you believe the Treuhand situation is the start and end of East German problems you are being overly reductionist, Herr Antifa.
By coincidence mostly.
I find it really hard to believe that the costs of those patents would have been higher, to the US economy as a whole and thus citizens in general, than the costs of sticking to the old inefficient, manual systems for 15 to 20 years. I smell politics.

I suspect there's also the old argument that standardisation takes regulation, and regulation is evil. Government should stay out of this (oh, btw, Government - can you just pay the next tranche of subsidies directly into the executive bonus account. Thanks!).
Right. I imagined this as a loose script to a Netflix special.
Greece is on a similar path ever since the first austerity measures few years back.
> Likewise, insurances etc. are 0.15% of the salary.

If I pay someone €5000/month, I only have to pay an additional €7.50 in insurances? I agree that would not be an issue, but that doesn't sound right.
I use this as a local dns resolver in combination with a blacklist and a whitelist to do DNS-level ad/tracker blocking. Works pretty well.

I see people here are using some DNS switchers in macos, but you can also configure an extra 'location' in your networking configuration. My default location uses the dnscrypt-proxy server I run locally and another uses CloudFlare, for the rare occasions where things break. I haven't had anything break really, but sometimes you want to test certain things and it is useful to be able to switch quickly.
If it is, the stakes are much higher since they have real penalties if they fail to disclose the practice or lose control of that data. Anyone in the EU can send them a request under the GDPR to learn what’s collected, so it’s much easier to get caught.
The Russians seem to have solved their Cold War problem by buying influence inside the US and UK - which was much cheaper than all-out nuclear destruction.

But they've also been upgrading their civil defence systems and nuclear stock while Nato has been distracted.

IMO the current situation in Europe is very much still a proxy war, but it's a proxy war promoting hard-right regime change within the member countries of the EU and the US rather than a proxy shooting war in another continent.

That's progress of a sort, and it definitely shows signs of more intelligent strategic thinking than the USSR managed. But it's still a political war against the EU's liberal democracies, and a culture war against liberalism in general.
Or only allow certified nets, and make them cost so much that you'll never want to dump them in sea.
I've never seen a precise definition of stimming. Nor have I seen anything that talks about precisely how characteristic various forms of stimming are for autistic, otherwise neurodiverse folks, and neurotypical folks.

I think the social model of disability is really helpful here. Regardless of what neurological commonalities there are or aren't, we have a set of social classifications of which potential stimming behaviors are normal or deviant. Tapping your leg is normal (sometimes annoying to people nearby, but normal), flapping is clearly deviant, and lots of other behaviors are somewhere in the middle. This is socially significant, regardless of whether it maps cleanly to some non-social difference.

Or it is the other way around. Intel had cut corners to be able to make the fastest processors, and that is how they got their marketshare. They have been called out on it in the last two years and updates have made their processors slower. Also AMD improved massively with Zen.
Those robots can be quite the opportunists with their consciousness and all.
No.

They stimmed naturally as a child; were shamed for it and stopped; eventually realized that stimming is harmless and helpful to them; and started consciously allowing themself to do it again, using other autistic people as a reminder of how to do that.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Operating system architectures can vary a lot. CPU architecture between Intel and AMD can't vary much since they both target x86. Every vulnerability found with Intel CPUs can and has been tested for against AMD CPUs which is something you simply cannot do with operating systems, and AMD CPUs have been found not to have the same vulnerabilities.
Except that’s not improving the planet even a bit — chances are, every one of those straws being used in an American city would end up in a well run landfill and have minimal impact on the environment. It’s yet another example of knuckle dragging elites using state force to virtue signal. Meanwhile the real sources of the problem get ignored.
The new sintering processes and alloys have gotten amazingly close for most purposes to be indistinguishable in application. Like any additive process, it still often requires machine work where precision is important.

Tht said... I am sad to see that lately, casting being overlooked often when it is still the best choice in many projects just because '3d printed' sounds better in the marketing. I have in front of me a 1960s magnesium alloy casting from the early 60s and the quality would make most sinterig operaters beyond jealous. Not to mention the material properties.
AMD is finally approaching parity in the past year or two, but Nvidia is still ahead in terms of day-to-day usability. It sucks that they're closed, but if you just want to install a driver and have your system work, Nvidia is ahead.

Look at this mess: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#AMD Do you want AMDGPU, AMDGPU PRO, ATI, or Catalyst? How do you choose? Let's assume you want open source and recent, so probably AMDGPU. OK that's relatively straightforward, but now let's say you want Vulkan support. That's over here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vulkan#Installation and golly wouldn't you know it there are three choices, vulkan-radeon, amdvlk, and vulkan-amdgpu-pro. How do those relate to the radeon and amdgpu drivers mentioned earlier? Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

Meanwhile on nvidia, you install "nvidia" and you're done.

I've been working in gaming on Linux profesionally for ten years. If I were buying a new GPU today, I would pick nvidia.
Right. Our approach is to move more logic into user-space so we can implement data/ML-driven solutions more easily.
One solution is to check each release candidate using extra instrumentation and/or enabled expensive checks.

His point is that if people grow up in a country with a strong safety net (and enjoy the benefits of that upbringing), then move away to start businesses or earn money away from that country to avoid paying into the cost of that safety net, there might not be so strong a safety net when they plan to return.

Which makes perfect sense; if it happens at scale, how would that safety net survive?

Right now, the few who do this are free riders on a system everyone staying behind is supporting. It's not a problem if a thousand people leave Germany to go make money outside the German tax regime and then return in their old age, their system can absorb it.

What would happen if a fifth of the population did that? It might be harder to sustain that level of social services with that loss of tax revenue, i.e. payment for those social services.

It's important to say it as it is. People tend to treat it as a 'natural' thing, instead of a business decision to cut costs.
I'm sorry but NVidia Linux support is really bad. I administer a few dozen machines and am really looking forward to tossing the NVidia cards into the dumpster where they belong.

NVidia Linux support has always been bad, we just didn't realize it because AMD's used to be worse. Luckily this has changed over the past few years and now we can spec in AMD or perhaps Intel's rumored Xe graphics card.
And then they removed "Hot Network Questions" altogether (replaced them with "Network Questions, Manually Featured by Moderators"). And then all of moderators left. Wow.
>If you hope for a world where the non-US population reaches the same life standard as the US, you need to increase the energy production by this factor.

I think this is a mistake - the US is energy wasteful compared to places like Europe which has a similar standard of living.

There is a strong emphasis on energy efficiency in Europe, plus higher density living meaning more efficient transport etc.

In the [1] wiki page you quoted it shows that the US is ~2 fold worse at energy efficiency than leading European countries and the trend in Europe is to be increasingly efficient.

If you build in energy efficiency during the development of countries, in theory the savings could be even greater.

In terms of US quality of life, it's not just energy consumption that drives it, it's available natural resources and the hegemony of the dollar in world markets.

ie there are large contributions from other factors to US GDP that you can't match by increasing energy use - ie the real underlying US productivity per energy unit is even worse that it appears.

In summary the US is a bit of an outlier not a benchmark.

Finally - obviously the original story is in the context of UK supply - not world - so there was some misunderstanding on what your numbers applied to.
You don't? You like people not giving a shit and parking in disabled spots/ramps, double-parking everywhere, civil services closing at noon because they have "work to do", employers paying employees starvation wages because it saves them a euro, everyone evading taxes because their pocket is more important than schools and hospitals, contractors padding their invoices by 200% to pocket the money from EU investments, etc etc?

I'll venture a guess and say you've never lived abroad?

It gets loads of attention, not least as both India and China have developed way beyond the free "developing nation" pass they got in previous climate agreements. Which plenty said was a big mistake at the time, but we are where we are.

No doubt if the climate movement in China and India invite her, she might well go. Well, perhaps not China as they lack freedom of association and speech. There have been protests in HK though. I doubt there is even as much in China as in Russia.

Russia has school strikes for climate consisting of one person demonstrating, changing places with another every hour or two[1]. That's because two or more demonstrating would fall foul of restrictions, as would anyone under 18.

Lambda School May Violate State Law, but Coding Classes Continue
Anyone in the UK who does an office job has heard of GDPR. Most companies are having to update practices to comply with it. It's actually amazing how effective it's been at curbing the "let's just store everything" behaviour.
They are, because the article in the topic (re)defines it that way.
But, to be honest, that's really not that much different than in the US. While you hear a lot about incentive stock options (ISOs) in the US not being taxed until you sell them, in reality most people who exercise ISOs will have to pay alternative minimum tax (AMT, a kind of parallel tax scheme to 'normal' taxes) when they exercise. When I exercised my options I had to pay more in tax than I did for the exercise price of the options themselves.
The law of competition. Assuming that your employees are less productive overall on a 20 hour week, the competition paying get a 40 hour week gets more done for their money and thus are cheaper for their customers.

There are a lot of assumptions in there. Getting everybody to work 168 hour weeks (24x7) seems like it should be even better, but it turns out that as you get close to that workload your employees are less productive. Fatigue will ensure your useful productivity is less than someone working somewhat lesser hours who is allowed to sleep. (I'm going to assume you require your people eat at their desk, otherwise starvation will kill them) You also lose because if there is even a rumor that other companies allow their people who have a life they will quit, and replacing people cost productivity.

We can take the opposite extreme: you work 1 hour per week. At this point your productivity is very low because you can never get "in the zone", and in fact your entire hour at work is spend just trying to remember what you do.

Someplace in the middle is the sweet spot. 20 hour weeks may be worth it - perhaps you can pay your people half as much and still give them as much income as they want, and still get the productivity you need to compete. Perhaps you can justify paying as much for 20 hours as your competitors pay for 40 hours because you employees enjoy that extra time and so they don't quit - you get better productivity because you don't have to teach them new things.

Each company needs to figure it out. in general society has settled on 40 hour weeks as a good number. There is no legal law making it best, but considering the compromises it isn't a bad number.

Europe has none of the largest tech companies. The large ones that do exist were founded a long time ago, like SAP. Their startup pipeline is weak and IMO it’s all because of government policies, as there are huge numbers of highly talented people in Europe.

Hi everyone! This is Lluis from Comeet.me

To make the long story short, in the last months we have been working on a tool that aims to solve the frustration we all have after having tons of unproductive meetings. It allows everyone to provide and receive feedback on each of their interactions, to learn, improve and help your peers. Fully integrated into your GCalendar, provide feedback doesn’t take more than 10 seconds.

We are currently looking for some help! Individuals and Teams that feels their meetings should be better, that can test Comeet.me, and provide us feedback about what is useful, what lacks, what needs improvement, etc.
Download directly the Chrome extension from our landing, or contact us at llventura@comeet.me if you have any question!

Thanks!!! This is so helpful for us!
I don't see people talking about reducing packaging. It was all about prohibiting shopping bags, and after that failed they got that turtle video and changed into prohibiting straws.

...don’t forget the opportunistic appearance before Congress.
There are startups in Europe, but the founders are mostly older people on their second run instead of young people getting an opportunity.

Is that not also true in the US?

Well intentioned actions might include trying to reduce one’s own straw use, thinking it will play a part in helping the planet.

They certainly don’t include using government force to impose that on everybody else, while having no fucking clue what one is talking about.
Fixed. I'm German and this typo happens occasionally.
They can concentrate it inside of your country.

The crux of startups is taking a risk for a potential reward. The risk is in lost career advancement and the reward is partial ownership of a business that's worth something. The hard part is in balancing those to avoid exploitation of workers or discouragement from taking the risk.
