That doesn't mean NYT and WaPo are far-right. Just that they will regularly publish far-right opinions (eg Bret Stephens) and rarely, if ever, far-left opinions. The bulk of both papers content is dead center but by constantly using far-right opinion to contrast their own opinions against, NYT and WaPo establish themselves as the left-wing of "acceptable discourse".

Installing Slurm requires root access to the server/workstation, which is not always available. In academia the management of computational resources is often the responsibility of a separate IT unit which is not part of the research group itself. Further the IT unit might not be willing to implement desired changes to the server infrastructure or might take _extremely_ long to do so. Often the setup of a scheduler is also significantly more complicated in this context, for example due to authentication via a University LDAP or oddities of the server setup.

Where do I get the best ideas to solve a problem?

Not when I'm sitting in front of it for 8h a day.

I get them when I stand up, buy groceries, do my laundry, shower, etc.

Does this provide huge value to the company I work for? Totally

Does the people at the company think I cheat them? Many do

Would they feel better if I sat in their office for 8h, have worse ideas, provide lower value and generally feel worse? Somehow many do too
To be fair, Tesla has some pretty nasty holes that are actually well covered by CCS. In South Carolina, I26 is completely uncovered by Tesla between Asheville and the coast. There are multiple CCS chargers along the same route.

The Nobel prize of economics is not fake. It was added later and it financed by the centeral bank, but it is approved by the Nobel foundation and listed on their website with the other prices.

This article conveniently overlooks problems when remote workers need supervision to keep them in line with expectations. I’ve had both good and bad experiences managing remote teams. The difference seems to be the quality of the remote workers. The quality of a remote persons work is inversely proportional to the supervision they require.
I was checking in at a hotel in Amsterdam with my suitcase 2ft behind me with a duffel bag on top and my backpack inside containing my laptop.

It's their ransomware protection. The last time I tried it months ago, it was really aggressive to the point that it made it uncomfortable to work with my computer. Maybe that's necessary to keep people safe, but I had to disable it because basic things like downloading files and opening them with another program simply didn't work. Maybe it's improved since then?

Not to mention that there is very little motivation given for the quantification of the individual threats. Not having 2fa is apparently 1 point, backing up only ever few weeks is 2, .. it almost seems as if these were chosen retroactively to make the curve look the way it does.

From the paper:

> Given the results above, we now present and discuss a proof-of-concept approach to risk assessment to estimate futureransomware infection that is based only on self-reported se-curity habits and past exposure to online scams. The methoddemonstrates that assessments can, in theory, be made with relatively little information, enabling consumers to estimatetheir own risk. We stress from the outset, however, that wemerely intend to illustrate the general approach; in particular, the strategy we present would need to undergo more rigor-ous evaluation before it could be responsibly used for riskassessment in the broader population.

Seems tenuous, that disclaimer notwithstanding.

Just last week I have reported a tweet to Twitter which is --- in my opinion --- "a bit" worse than misgendering, but Twitter in its unparalleled wisdom came to the decision, that this is not hate speech. It said: "straight man should be jailed at 18 and take an exam of being a decent human being to get out". Just imagine someone said the same words with "straight man" replaced by "woman", "gay woman", "trans people", "black people" or "jews". There would be an outrage , and that would be the right reaction in my opinion.

So, I have some questions about Twitter's rules and about the process that applies them.

Comment you replied to was talking about automatic updates, not installing apps. Google Play and vendor installed apps can automatically update apps in the background without needing to prompt the user for permission to install each individual update, while a typical f-droid install requires the user to click through each update and press “install” at the prompt. This can be fixed by making f-droid a system app, which requires root or an unlocked bootloader.
Some European countries have very promising research projects supplying selected heroin addicts (with a long enough history of discontinued therapies) with medical heroin. They go to a state run distribution station once or twice a day and get a dose. With that acquisitive crime are no longer an issue and the subjects can reintegrate into a normal life.
I have this issue as well. People will show up at my desk to get something done. Yes it should be in some sort of ticket, but then they are in a queue and might get another admin, so if they just show up they will probably get their stuff done so they will leave me alone and i can get onto other work (it is not that i don't want to see people, but i have lots of work usually).

I look at the hours and hardwork I put in as increasing my chances for success.

I wholeheartedly agree that success is mostly based on luck. I believe that the most successful business people were incredibly lucky in their journeys - but most also worked incredibly hard. If you work harder, you increase your chances at finding that luck.

If I gave up working hard a year ago, I would have never been found or funded. If I stopped working hard today, I won't find the next source of luck I need.

Life is about luck. I don't think it's right to shame others for wanting to work hard to create their own luck.

> My fictitious group was an example. I do not like dogs. :) But your solution goes back to my original comment. The article lists functional alternatives, but there is no way for someone to find the group, unless they explicitly searched for it. Most end up searching on Meetup and Facebook.

The article lists other solutions that will either:

1. Start monetizing via data mining and ads. This is a very dubious proposition for sites targeting small communities unless those sites convert every single inch of space on screen into ads or unless community management part of it is a just another place to stick ads like it is for Google and Facebook

2. Charge the money from either attendees or organizers to support a going concern, causing the same kind of freak out meetup is currently experiencing.

3. Shutdown

The "those who pay the least whine the most" is showing to be true here as well.
This is against policy. Not sure if it is enforced though

> war is politics with guns

Never heard that phrase before, but I wouldn't agree with it. Politics is all about compromise: the art of the possible. It's negotiation. War often happens when politicians fail to negotiate.
I agree with this. At some point during my "struggle" with depression, I realized it's just who I am. Severe depression should be treated, sure. But this "mild depression" in my mind is more of a personality trait than a clinical disorder.

It took me 8 years of coping with "depression" and earning an undergraduate degree in neuroscience to realize this. At this point I actually wouldn't give up this personality trait even if I had the option to. It's become an asset rather than a liability.
I don't think you're wrong, but isn't there a little bit more to this? I mean, Quillette is the Arch-nemesis of "Woke". Quillette gloating about moral failures of a movement that open espouses morality over money is different, than if, say, Jacobin gloated about it.
> we are all 'good' human beings

I would say we're _mostly_ good human beings. The presence of a few bad actors and psychopaths, IMHO, is what prevents the benefits of universal altruism in society.

Speaking personally, I was a much more trusting person before falling into a relationship in college with a very charismatic person who almost certainly had antisocial personality disorder. Your behavior patterns must allow for the presence of well-camouflaged exploiters if you want to survive and thrive in adulthood. I still strive to be a good person, but am more guarded and suspicious of others' intentions than when I was younger.
We just had a farmers revolt in the Netherlands because of environmentalists groups pushing very restrictive laws which would result in both the amount of cattle in NL being halved and a lot of construction stopping. One major reason they protested was the news reporting that nitrogen kills trees.

It can go both ways, depending on how well things are thought out and executed. We have a lot of people who don't have realistic expectations and don't seem to realize that the Netherlands is largely made up out of artificially build nature which needs to be maintained and kept in check instead of left alone.

It's scary but we evolve and learn from it. While they can be targeted with fear and misinformation. The opposite also holds.

A saying I used at my old job was, "It could be worse, you could be face-down in a ditch somewhere." I thought it was funny and meant to improve people's perspective. Most people thought it was morbid too, so I had to stop.

Personally, I think a little dark humor helps people get by but that's just me. :)
I find interacting with people who are forced to be there (like fast food workers/coworkers/bank tellers) doesn't really count for in-person interaction.

Personally, I'd rather interact with people who are honestly there, and aren't economically forced to submit to me or me to them.

EDIT: Wait, are you a manager referring to your subordinates? If so, you may have forgotten how stressful it is to constantly be submissive to everyone around you. If you're the same rank or above everyone else I can understand wanting interaction, but if you're on the receiving end then any interaction is an implicit demand you cut more flesh off yourself to please them.
The two (realism/knowledge and depression) seem to be in a feedback loop. Probably children are happier because they dont know enough yet. And fools/ignoramuses - that conventional wisdom has some merit. It's a question though why humans would evolve to become inert in the face of knowledge. Who knows, it may be an advantage.
Don't worry about them too much; they're gonna sell the technology to other countries.
In broad strokes there are more environmental and labor protections in Canada, Japan, and the U.K., but at the same time, US law has some unique features that have been weaponized. For example, while the US is sometimes relatively more lax on environmental issues in the private sector, it’s very strict for environmental issues in the public sector. Nobody has the equivalent of NEPA, which requires every significant public project to undergo years (4-5 on average) of environmental review and litigation before even getting started. See: https://legal-planet.org/2012/05/13/comparing-canadian-and-u...

> US environmental law is much more generous in allowing for judicial review of decisionmaking by government agencies that is alleged to violate relevant environmental laws. It is also much more generous in allowing private parties to enforce environmental laws against other private parties who are alleged to have committed violations.

The US is unusual in the degree to which it allows private interests (environmentalists, landowners, etc.) to litigate and hold up projects that the government has already approved.
Yep! I like that the mouse is always in exactly the same place on my desk (s), so muscle memory always lands on it (especially useful in my home office, because the keyboard tray doesn't have much room to move a traditional mouse.

That's absolutely true.

To install apps without user prompt on Android, you need INSTALL_PACKAGE permission. Guess what? You cannot use that permission on third-party apps (meaning any app installed by the user, in opposition to apps that are pre-installed on the ROM), since it's for first-party apps only. The documentation backup this claim: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.per... Without that permission, you cannot have automatic updates.

The feature you are referring to and shows in your screenshot refers to the ability to launch an APK install prompt (that the user have to click through) using an Intent. It cannot be considered as automatic update. So, yeah, it's not an even playing field.
