I really love how people live there in increasingly better conditions and not only outpacing other countries economically, but also making huge efforts in creating a fair, enjoyable and sociable environment for everyone.

Curious if you visited any Tibetan areas (Tibet proper or Amdo) and talked with the people there and how fair the system is for them.

Or Xinjiang, where most of the PRC's Uighur's live. This article shows some of them using the train system, too -- as they are led away blindfolded and in shackles: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/23/china-footage-...

It's much improved by 19.10 on my machine, which IIRC went from libinput 1.12 to 1.14. The thumb detection (which was wrong just often enough to be torture) in Pop 19.04 is pretty solid in 19.10.

But then again I don't use anything fancy beyond one- or two-finger gestures. If you want all the fancy gestures, I can't really say much about that.
I am going to agree with sentiments posted by others. This has nothing to do with bailouts.

Skincare firm Sunday Riley avoids fine for staff's fake reviews
The cross section of the beam can be any shape, the important thing is the signal source is an area not a point. The value of the inverse square (of distance from source) is dominates power density when the signal source is effectively a point - this becomes the situation for a laser or anything at long enough distance, but at distances where it is effectively a beam, the strength of power density does not dissipate by that value. The geometry of the beam concentrates the power density at its focal point, which can be far behind the source or in front of it. For an ideal beam focused to infinity (parallel rays) its power would never dissipate with distance - as all of the power goes in the same direction.
We don't need to form an ideal beam to say its doesn't follow the inverse square rule, any focusing of rays breaks the rule (at scales where it is reasonable to treat it as a beam and not just rays emanating from a point)

I hope that helps picture the situation. My original comment that a beam can have a different exponent was incorrect except in some approximate sense. The inverse square value will still apply, but from the beams real or imaginary focal point (if it is a point) But it the case of a transmitter beaming a signal at another, that focal length can be far beyond the reciever, so the 'rule' can be completely confounded.
>I guess that’s the downside of paying people as little as you can get away with.

Fair point I guess...to an extent.

People somehow manage to live paycheque to paycheque regardless of the absolute number they get paid in my experience.

In this particular case - it's in the context of 40% unemployment. So the market equilibrium is quite low.
Argh, sorry, yes, that's what I meant. When the light turns yellow, you must stop unless it would be dangerous to brake that hard.

In no world is it excusable to have your ostensible competitor sign your binaries or certificates. They can make all the excuses they want, but it doesn't dissolve their incompetence, and shows they are unfit for running such a user-critical business.

Xolo Leap[1], formerly LeapIn, is probably the most popular way of starting a company in Estonia as a foreigner.

As an EU citizen, I see Estonian e-residency oriented more towards the people who are from outside the EU and want to establish their presence in the EU market.

For instance, it's one of the easiest ways to get access to Stripe for people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, Israel, Turkey, and many countries from other continents.

But it's not such a good option if you operate from other EU country, such as Germany, because your Estonian company will likely be taxed as a local company there.

In any case, I would personally choose Ireland over Estonia because of the absence of language barrier and almost 40% lower corporate tax, or even the UK, where incorporation is not that much harder or more expensive than in Estonia[2], but regulations are much clearer and laws are much more stable.

Short version of the comments there:

The article mix classical and relativistic formulas, you must be very careful when you do that or you can get weird results.

In Classical Mechanic, momentum is conserved.

In Special Relativity, momentum is also conserved, but the definition of momentum includes the momentum of the electromagnetic radiation.

The device work, but not as the author think. It emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation. It emits more radiation in one direction, and the spaceship is pushed in the oposite direction.

The calculation of the energy is slightly of, I'm not sure why, perhaps because it mix classical and relativistic formulas.

The device is essentially and inefficient Photon Rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_rocket . It's equivalent of using a laser or flashlight in the back of your spaceship. It emits light in one direction, and the spaceship is pushed in the oposite direction.

For some reason people that rediscover photon rockets like to call them massless and claim that they break the laws of physic.

The theoretical maximum thrust/energy ratio of photon rockets is very small, that's the reason no one use them. In an inefficient photon rocket it's smaller.
Requiring a team made out of wizards to successfully launch a product is a huge downside though.

Pretty much anything you do in NodeJS/Angular is run-of-the-mill stuff that your run-of-the-mill hires should be able to work on.
And another thing I see is that the people there is nearly only persons from America, there are a few european there like Thorvalds and Van Rossum, but other than that it is very american. Though that may just be who the photographer can get. A example of peoiple I at least would like to see to diversify the nationality a bit could be someone like Poul-Henning Kamp.
Android is Java based frameworks + ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries.

The fact that is has Linux under the covers is pretty much insignificant and completely transparent to userspace.
I'm not sure I understand how you came to this title (currently "A discovery disproving Noah’s flood?") for this submission.

The subtitle is "Deep beneath the Black Sea, off the coast of Bulgaria, ancient Greek ships are revealing answers to the mystery of the Noah’s Ark flood."
Cool - I'd love to see your approach. Could you write it up and post a link? Or feel free to email me, my contact details are in my profile. Alternatively, the article here has a link to my blog, and there's a comment box.

I'm always interested in seeing a better way to do things.
Beds are standard because Indian trains are excruciatingly slow. An "express" train is one that manages 36 km/h (!) excluding stops, while a "superfast" blazes along at 55 km/h. Not a single train in the country cracks 100 km/h as an average operating speed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express_trains_in_India

The Chinese train in the article is thus literally 10x faster than an Indian express. There's finally some work happening on India's first bullet train, Mumbai to Ahmedabad, but even the most optimistic projections don't see it open before 2023.
I should read more about stoicism. Thanks for reminding me.
The title is misleading, it was not hacked. There was an detected attempt, but it was mitigated.
> Very small projects given enough time can be cut almost perfectly up front, a few patches maybe then it's done.

Perhaps there needs to be a bigger distinction between "unchanging" and "unmaintained".

In your example, a project could be unchanging simply because there is nothing to do, it is "done". But if a bug was found, would someone fix it? That's when maintained vs unmaintained would matter, perhaps it is only possible to know how well something is being maintained until problems are reported...
This is my experience with haskell:

I work for a small data science consulting company whose major components of a machine learning pipeline were written in haskell. The company got bought by a large corporate and shortly after, all the haskell developers left, leaving a handful of people (including myself) who didn't know how to use or maintain the major components of a multi million dollar acquisition. It is in the process of being scrapped and replaced with a more typical software stack.

Hilarious times.

I don't have a UK/Estonia company but saw the comparisons a lot when I was working for e-Residency. My understanding is that it's pretty comparable in terms of being all online, solid tax structure, etc. For me the two biggest factors would be - where are my clients and how much do I care about having a company in the EU. If most of your clients/employees/ops are in the UK, I would probably keep it there, if they're in the EU or being part of the EU is important to you, I would consider Estonia (plus the instability of Brexit throws a bit of a wrench into the equation)
Do you believe Snowden a Russian tool also?
I think some people have short memories, there have been numerous grumblings (right or wrong) about many of the step-change releases. To me, this feels a bit like when the rosetta fat-binaries were killed off in 10.7, for some people it was pretty bad for those with software which didn't and wouldn't support Intel binaries, but for others it was a minor blip.

Catalina has been fine for me, but I probably have a different use-case.

If you work at a bank that uses real cloud services (AWS and Azure in my case), they still lock down most of the options. They want control, ease of maintenance, and most of all: auditability. More options creates more overhead. Simple is good.

I did recently wonder if it made sense for banks to put all their stuff on other people's computers, instead of maintaining their own, but for the bank I work at, the old on-premise systems are maintained by IBM and ridiculously restrictive, so either AWS or Azure is already a massive improvement.

Lol, you can't wrap your naive opinions as "personal experience" and then apply them to a generality of millions of people. You passed off this claim as real. Just because you frame it as personal experience doesn't suddenly make it not a form of prejudice, and doesn't suddenly make it correct and valid.

I don't need data to counter your "personal experience" a.k.a. anecdotal evidence, because it was never valid to submit as a claim in the first place. There is no "both sides", there is one side: the objective truth: ADHD is too complex for you to make ridiculous unbacked claims like that.

I have quite advanced ADHD, OCD and bipolar II disorder and I don't have problems with empathy; in fact, in my circles I'm known as an especially attentive listener. I'm a walking contradiction to your baseless claims.

So please, try again, this time without insulting an entire class of people by claiming we all fit your incomplete behavioral model.
> reached a record speed of 385 kilometers per hour, 10 percent higher than the designed speed

Not to be outdone, an Amtrak train reached a record 38.5 hours late to Penn Station on the same day.

Maybe try contributing to a large Haskell codebase first to get a feel for what Haskell is like in in-the-large and gain some comfort.

I'll add this problem is not at all Haskell specific. If you put an experienced Java developer to work architecting a large Python application where they have no prior Python experience you are going to experience similar problems.
I'd say the problem is perhaps a bit more acute with Haskell as the paradigm is likely more different to the prior language.
So if possible get at least one person on your team that has experience with a large Haskell app and pair them up with other devs.

I'm not certain it would be bad for knowledge intensive industries. My reasoning is that people would use their time more wisely and get more done. As for young people (also affects older), I think the implication `more time working => more done` is still deeply ingrained even when there are arguments against it[1].

I do agree that having forced off-time can be distressing to some people. Some may like to think they are indispensable to run the company, and suddenly they feel betrayed because their company doesn't need them working at 100%. Or they are optimistic and think the grass is greener elsewhere. Or...

Anyway, I think it would be interesting to see studies of """productivity""" when employees are forced to do part-time work. Based on what I know, I wouldn't too surprised to see good social benefits (but it doesn't mean everybody would thrive).

I second this. Bergamot's website mentions Europe ("...increases the uptake of language technologies in Europe...") but nothing about Asia, which isn't very encouraging.
I hope it was just an error. Links are the killer feature of the web, and what with Google hiding parts of the URL in the address bar, it seems like they are trying to hide them.
Obviously, lots of countries people would move _from_ would restrict movement as well. See countries from the former communist block.
People who've been using an OS for a fairly long time tend to accumulate applications. Many of them will have been 32-bit at the point they got them. Many of them still will be, or will be fairly awkward to update. While I'm happy I should be able to find 64 bit versions of everything I want to upgrade, I'm confident I wouldn't be able to talk my mother through it on the phone.

It's been flagged that it's coming for a while, but _at best_ it's a massive ballache for an awful lot of customers. Apple are going to need to provide me with a pretty compelling reason to persuade me to willingly undergo that pain ...
New ones have to be zero-emission
From what little I've looked at podman, the "no daemon, rootless" story isn't quite as straightforward as it might appear.

For starters, you couldn't expose ports as a standard user running podman last time I used it . Also every container got it's own conmon process, so there's still an overhead, it's just done differently.

"Investment banks" were only colloquially banks. They were not members of the Federal Reserve, not regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and not FDIC insured. Survivors became banks after the crisis, but in their place we now have lots of hedge funds, private equity funds, etc. that have grown large to do similar financial operations without bank regulation.

As a cyclist, I can tell you that the number of times I see these taxis running on electric only is near zero.

Even if they theoretically get 80 miles of electric only range, and can be plugged in, the reality is the drivers force the engines to run to provide cab heating, avoid downtime while charging, and to avoid wear on the battery.

My guess is in the real world, even excluding manufacturing, these produce more CO2 per mile than the TX4.
It looks useful but the lack of non-European languages makes me slightly suspicious, I wonder if their approach generalises to Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
Having taken the trains a few times from Denmark, through to Germany and Austria, it is always anxious because of missing connections and being stranded/inconvenienced along the journey. It is not particularly cheap compared to flights.Got a problem? - first think which train company to call and ask help from - DSB(Denmark), DB(Germany) or OBB(Austrian) and cross fingers that they speak in English :-)
It is very complicated. If there was a single train service that worked all over Europe that is responsible for getting from city A to City B as fast as they could, it would be lovely, but I doubt if we will ever get there given the geo-political differences in Europe.
It was wild.

Around 1999, I interviewed for my first proper tech job. I had no commercial experience. For the interview I had to drink vodka with the guy interviewing me and shoot some shit. The interview ended when he fell off the chair. I got the job: decent salary, stock options, really nice office.

Hardly anyone there knew what they were doing. That was good for me because I got to pick whatever tech I wanted (open source over the in-house Microsoft stuff). The software and our management processes were a mess. But that didn't matter, because the company was a dotcom darling. I think we charged one large client $1m to make an online store. It sold about 10 products, if I remember correctly. Most of our websites didn't really work very well, though they tended to look pretty nice.

There was plenty of daytime drinking, and drugs and parties. Not long before the crash, several thousand employees were flown to Vegas from all over the world. Lots of partying, cocktails in the pool, mixed in with some bizarre team-building workshops. For the finale, a specially-built circular auditorium with techno music pumping and spotlights whirling, into which the CEO himself drove on an electric scooter to the wild cheers of the crowd, pumping his fist and going round and round in circles.

I found it utterly demotivating to be involved in doing such a bad job of making such overpriced websites, all to the sound track of masturbatory, content-free self-promotion. I left shortly afterwards. It is interesting to me that a number of alumni have gone on to successfully make their millions in their own startups.

P.S. Before my stock options vested they were worth well over $100k. By the time they vested I got $7k.
