That is fine for complaints raised directly through the specific complaint channel(s).

It doesn't help with complaints recorded as (or as part of) reviews, which might not have a corresponding official complaint. If I see mention of expiry dates and similar issues in reviews I don't have any assurance that this refers to the supply of product I'd be getting items from if I ordered.

People will often not bother with an official complaint unless it is an expensive item that they want a refund on, they instead go the "less paperwork" route of leaving a negative review, binning the item, and ordering from elsewhere.

No they are not. Yes, there is more opportunity in some settings than others but the people with the skills are much less likely to be passed by by that opportunity than everyone else. There's a lot more opportunity that usable to the people who are in a position to take advantage of it (preparation) and have the drive to do so (hustle).

There are also privileges associated with race and gender among other things that certainly impact one's likelihood of becoming rich.
This might be a stupid question, but it is not mentioned on Kickstarter how the carbon extractor is powered, and what is the energy needed for, let's say, extracting 100g of Carbon from the atmosphere.

Again, imagine 1 does not occur. You hustle and there is never a lucky opportunity. Do you still achieve success? You prepare for a job interview and you never get the opportunity to interview. Do you still achieve success?

No one is saying that there aren’t factors to increase luck insofar as people are saying that success doesn’t necessarily have a linear relationship with preparation or hustle.

IE. Person A who earns 100x more than person B did not necessarily prepare 100x harder, or hustled for 100x as much. Person A may only have hustled/prepared 10x or 5x as much, or 0.5x as much and just got exposed to better opportunities.
In my small sample size you would be the first person I've met to claim to have read all three cover to cover! That's an amazing achievement.

I don't remember exactly but I've found chapters in the first book on fundamental structures such as trees and sorting algorithms tend to stand well alone.

More recently I've been diving into Book 4, Facile 6 on SAT solvers, combinatorics. I tend to already have some familiarity with the material so it seems to me to stand well on its own.

I really enjoy Knuth's writing style however and appreciate his scrupulousness. The references and indices are top-notch so that if you aren't familiar with the prerequisites they are easily found!

Good recommendations in this thread, but seems a bit thin on the data side - both in terms of abstract datatypes, and in terms of database theory.

Not really agree with this, you can change the country you live in. And it's more important where you live not where you are born.
For example lots of people from poor countries go to US or Europe and are quite successful there.

Don't agree either. Let's be realistic, what are the chances of success for a person who stays at home watch movies vs. someone who go out talk with people get involved in all sorts of activities + prepare the homework for those social events.

One more thing: cloud can be great to scale up in peak utility without buying servers that will idle most of the time. It's just that using only cloud might be much more costly, even if it is easier.
Being a best-seller does not make it fundamental.

If anything, that suggests to me that it is not. "Philosophy for Dummies" far outsells Plato.
Hustle and preparation allow smaller quantities of blind luck to be turned into success. Otherwise it takes a lot more blind luck to overcome a lack of preparation, and large quantities of blind luck are harder to find.

FWIW there's no need for data loss when you ditch the server, just download the encrypted data and decrypt using a clean environment elsewhere.

It's a great question! If we add more carbon to the air during the process, that defeats the purpose!

That's simply a function of usable land. There is very little desert in Europe. Much of the Alps and the Nordic region is "wild". Much of Southeastern Spain is fairly desolate.

Much of the US "wild" area is simply not economically useful for major settlement, with the possible exception of the Pacific Northwest and far Northern California.

A drive through rural France looked much the same as a drive through Texas, in terms of how often you'd encounter a town and the setup for a particular town. The major difference being that the transition from major city to rural is a lot faster since France has restricted urban sprawl quite a bit more.

Searching for Russian Activist on iOS Safari Shows Smear Account
Not sure the correct title here, but found it interesting that when searching on iOS Safari "Bill Browder Twitter", the suggested result that appears is of a Russian smear account with less than 1% of the followers as the real account.

For those of you who don't know who Bill Browder is, he is the author of Red Notice (fabulous book) and activist behind the Magnitsky Act. Also a famous enemy of Putin, corruption in Russia, and other Russian Oligarchs.

Here is a screenshot of how it looks when typing in "Bill Browder Twitter" - https://i.imgur.com/xF0qrGu.jpg

Note that this account has 390 followers, and the real Bill Browder account has 225,000 followers. I'm located in California for what it's worth.

I desire the same type of "unbiased" information myself but I do not believe it is attainable for this topic. The amount of emotion that people have about the effects of pollution on temperature makes it hard to take anything at face value.

As far as I can tell, the scientific consensus is that CO2 generated climate change is happening more or less according to the models, with the exact degree somewhat difficult to determine year-on-year. The situation along inaction, has provoked a strong emotional response in many people. It don't see how the combination of these things demonstrates a lack of objectivity.

The approach seems rather, uh, bad faith. Consider "People seem to react emotionally when I talk a flat earth. Where can I get objective information that considers flat and round earth possibilities in a balanced fashion not reacting emotionally to flat possibilities?"

How can you compare states with little population to a state with 40 mn people ? Of course numbers will look better in a smallish state. Also, how do these states perform when it comes to healthcare access, LGBT rights, environmental changes, renewable energy, immigrant rights ? School quality ? Comparing mostly white states with a state that has 50% 1st or 2nd generation migrants, with non native English speaking parents ? Homicide rates ? SF is on track to have the lowest homicide rate in 50 years. On average, California performs far better than any of the states you mentioned and that is proven by the population differences
Fuck, no it doesn't.

Wake up. China has camps of people from oppressed religious groups, they monitor and kill. And a self conscious dictator, who wants nothing but ultimate control.
I get suspicous when people start shouting and screaming that the only way to do anything about climate change is X - where X might or might not reduce greenhouse gases but definately aligns with there politial prirors.

I also don't like the fact that these same people seem to have no respect at all for economic growth. I firmly believe that any realy solution will be an encouragement to growth not a discouragement.
Polyglot developer here

I have not personally had the usecase for Rust just yet, but it is the only language I have never heard a negative thing about. That's huge, with how opinionated developers are.

The arguments for the language and general consensus are so strongly positive that without having used it myself I frequently recommend it (I passively follow the language's progress online).

A huge part of it is the developer ergonomics, a large amount of which comes from your compiler error messages.

When I talk to people about the gold standards, Rust and Elm are the examples I give.

Thank you guys for all your work!
I didn't say anything like that, nor do I believe it. But to say that the savages had it coming because they didn't invent the guns first is classic "the victor writes the history books" stuff and really indicative of how little you've left your personal bubble in life.

"And nobody knows why."
No.

This situation and an increasing number of incidents around the CCP's interactions with the developed world have direct analogues to Nazi Germany.

People forget that until defeated, Nazi Germany was not 'the bad guys'. There were cretins trying to justify it and excuse it just like there are idiots justifying the CCP today. As someone who believes to be on the right side of history, FUCK both of them.

This is the correct time to draw on those comparisons.
> as well as subjugating their population with backward, barbaric laws, to this day.

What are you even talking about? This is very simplistic reasoning. The British have always been involved in Saudi politics since the founding of the Saudi state, and to this day. Just because they don't order direct execution of individuals does not mean disgusting crimes were not committed. Not to mention that it's not just the British that were and are messing with the politics of the Middle East to this day (does Sykes–Picot ring a bell?)
Changing the country you live in is not possible for most people - it requires luck to have the resources necessary to do so.

Python in 3.5 added complete zip app support, which has improved this dramatically from my perspective. Extended by things like shiv https://github.com/linkedin/shiv make it fairly complete.

This is interesting to me. I prefer async/await in general, because it has become a standard across programming languages and I find it really easy to reason about. I also find channels to be too widely seen as a cure-all, when the only study so far has shown they actually led to an increase bug count. But I don't discount the value of real-parallelism, and am glad to see that Python has been pushing harder on that lately, with things like subshells that allow bypassing the GIL on a single thread.

CVS stopped selling cigarettes and lost $2B revenue per year. After a few years, their stock is up. Is that seeking profit or doing what's right? Why does public good and public profit always have to be opposed? If being "woke" is profitable, we shouldn't discourage the good just because of potential profits. That would be like boycotting the Prius because Toyota is trying to make money off environmental concerns...
Would you be impressed as a stockholder of a company that experiences a 10% reduction in revenue, voluntarily through an avoidable action?
A big confounding factor in counting incidence based on cancer deaths would be improved treatment. Whether by medical advances or simple earlier diagnosis having better cure rates.

Looking back, I still don't get all the hatred that SystemD got (and sometimes is still getting). A part from some nice-to-have missing niche features (I'm looking at you, retries management with one-shots), it Just Works™ for the vast majority of use cases, just like PulseAudio does. The fact is that the minority which indeed have problems is very vocal because those problems come from complex corner-cases that only a a very tech-savvy user could generate in the first place.

Well, maybe given that this is a security product Google should require rather than just encourage MFA.

In that sense Google could make the security stronger for their customers but chooses to make it easier to install and use for the majority.

Getting downvoted for this, but consider this: they require a password for security purposes, why don’t they require MFA? Why is this not a requirement for this product or all their products? It’s a barrier to entry, and an eases of use thing, which means it’s a product decision to not require stronger authentication on this or all their products.
These reasons are valid; I think the main reason so many people hate systemd is how all-encompasing it has become.

Prior to systemd, the lack of a standard init/rc/service monitoring system meant that you could pick and choose 3 different solutions for those 3 problems. systemd is pushing for unifying not just those 3, but other systems too (gummiboot, consolekit, udev). As more software becomes designed to work just with the systemd ecosystem, more people who have love for one of the systems that has been subsumed will feel forced to switch.

Say you have a favorite fork. You eat lunch with it everyday. Now at your favorite restaurant for takeout, the manager says "We switched salad dressings, and the new dressing line isn't compatible with that fork, you'll need to use this one instead." The fork that the manager hands you may be perfectly fine (better in some ways, worse in others than your favorite fork), but it's not your fork. So you sadly stop going to that restaurant. But then you notice something: more and more restaurants are switching salad dressing suppliers, so now you have to either give up your favorite fork, or use only salads you make yourself. You're probably going to be mad at the salad dressing company.
