Difference between wife and a prostitute ?

You know up front how much it costs to get rid of the prostitute.

It was more in response to the downvotes, with are (supposedly) not a disagree button.
Similarly, a lot of games built with Valve's Source engine get continual updates even today - a decade or more after release - specifically because Source gets updates and therefore so do the games built on it. It's interesting to see updates come in for Half Life 2: Deathmatch even though absolutely nothing player-facing has changed (to my knowledge) since the 00's.

Well, in my experience, the quality of the search results I get from Google overall has fallen quite a lot over the last few years, to the point where for any given search, DDG is far more likely to surface what I'm looking for.

This isn't just about certain cherry-picked examples.
Oh, the "nightmare season". It just ended I believe? September is the month, right? I'm so grateful I managed to escape.

It's not a reward. If we give the same to a 60 IQ person as to an 150 IQ person the world would be vastly different. trillions of dollars would be wasted purely on incompetence. I can't even fathom desiring such a world.
Real data: my Mac Pro transitioned from betas to production fine, albeit with some annoying warning messages about unexplained dangers during upgrade, about a Preboot folder that would be deleted, so be ware.

Hours of backing up later, it just upgraded off the beta train perfectly, though didn't explain why it took some valid files (perhaps cached from iCloud) and dumped them into a folder.
I've also switched all my browsers to DDG and agree google is better for programming related searches. Probably because my search history includes all the languages and technology I use regularly so it's able to weight those results higher.
How to Make a Great Puzzle Game
This is a long going change. Google has been making their search fuzzier for years claiming it gets better results for most people.

For a while I personally experienced better results on the queries I didn't know the exact name of the thing I was searching for. But those days are gone, because nowadays their search is so fuzzy that it can't extract the correct context from those queries.
I was always amused that "pine" street in San Francisco is transliterated to "plank" in chinese. Broadway, incidentally, is "avenue of 100 old people".
The doctrine for HA is that each AZ should be fully independent, and if you do that, your inter-AZ traffic is relatively minimal.

And I think the charges for inter-AZ transfer are to incentivize customers to do that.

Of course, to make them fully independent, you have to replicate everything, so you wind up buying several redundant copies of your system...
> the quality of programming-related searches was just abysmal compared to Google.

My experience is precisely the other way around, but I've heard other devs say what you're saying.

I wonder what the difference between us is?
That's very intriguing:

I've personally worked with doctors that had a lot more time because fewer patients see them in a day. They weren't older patients, necessarily, but this doctor (General Surgery department I think?) would only see around a dozen patients per day. Visits were scheduled for 15 mins, but could go longer if they needed it. This doctor had quite a lot of free time. It was a moderately-sized hospital in the Midwest.

Sure, but:

a) The Pan-Arab uprising was a pretty minor affair in Saudi Arabia - mostly it was just an extension of the existing war/rivalry between the house of Saud and Al Rashid.

b) It was WW1. The most of the world was at war, and it is unreasonable to expect the Arab world to be unaffected.

The clothes being cheap here is not the problem although it definitely does not help. The problem here is fast fashion and the constant recycling of fashion trends. I'd argue that this is more of a cultural problem. If the clothes are cheap but the trend changes biannually instead of annually, you're going to see a drop in purchases.

The diktat should be "Buy cheap clothes but not very often". You don't have to go all the way to a suit with matching tie and shoes. Polos, shirts, jeans, chinos can be had for cheap too, and they last long.

"our battle is not lost, but that we can control the use of our data, [...] that the privacy laws that protect us are obeyed."

Privacy, privacy. We've actually developed a self-hosted private cloud solution as a substitute to Dropbox for exactly these reasons. Basically a private Dropbox at home (no complicated installation and no server needed)

We're currently in beta, could interest a few in this thread! https://www.duple.io/en/

The point is to have a product that works just like a Dropbox, as simple and straightforward, but that is actually private with no one interfering, playing, accessing or reading your data.

The messenger is part of the content. If Alex Jones screams some anti-liberal hate, I can rationally make some assumptions about the quality of his message before even committing time and energy to vetting his statements. This is normal, and vetting all statements would be impossible. This is a useful filter, if applied prudently.

There is no such thing as an SC2 account. There is a battle.net account, for all blizzard games.

I had most of their library. I had a month before bought the new hearthstone expansion, and was an almost daily hearthstone player.

I deleted my account. The statement is no more doing business with blizzard based on their behaviour, and not even allowing the possibility by deleting the account which costs me something to do.

I'm not really sure continuing to play their game with a different tag counts as anything other than you fooling yourself into continuing to deal with a reprehensible organization against your best interest, in exchange for a video game.
Silicon Valley is composed of humans with the same drives, limitations, etc. as everyone else. The fact that they think they're better than the rest of humanity doesn't mean they are. It just means they're more self delusional. Self delusion tends to make you repeat history more rather than less.

We all started out that way. Effective C++ is a valuable book that takes study, so you're off to a good start.

I still have my first programming book that I bought in the 60s. Now, my library includes most of the books mentioned here. I've skimmed every one of them and read portions of many over and over. I've found that in the long run, they've really helped me in my career. Notice however that I've had half a century to do this reading so just give yourself time.
Tuesday: Work Stoppage
technology / D2C / supply chain startups are desperately needed in this area to solve these problems.

At unspuntech.com (where i'm employed) we're working on creating high quality denim garments using 3D body scanning as the basis for custom fit. This allows us to go 0 inventory, and consumers generally don't mind a 2-3 week wait time for manufacturing thus far. up to 10-30% of garments end up unsold, so 0 inventory can have a large effect. We're also working on robotics solutions to remove steps from the manufacturing process, and eventually to reuse parts of the garment that get worn out.

More thought has to be put into the fast fashion part of the equation -- consumers (moreso women than men for clothing) want a large variety of options, and if they can get them at the cheapest prices, why not? There either needs to be a shift culturally (maybe look at how organic foods became prevalent at super markets) or through some sort of regulation (not ideal).

if any hner's want to talk more about these issues, please email me!
This is an example of what I meant by speculating on a growth story.

1994 Internet let you talk to people and exchange information around the world — things that you couldn’t do before.

> offers much more opportunities to create and collaborate than any other time in the past.

We had skype, games, ICQ, MSN, blogs, blog aggregators, rss readers, galleries, audiogalaxy, guestbooks, forums, hotline communications, IRC, video chats, joomla, wikis etc etc in the year 2003. Not much has been added. Video is perhaps the only thing that we didnt have. A big deal but it s not everything. The main change was the format - mobile. The internet today feels less vibrant, less mysterious, with less corners to explore, and it's not because we 've exhausted it all. Even the news have become extremely repetitive, with every site posting the same stories slightly rephrsed. People keep parroting the same obsessive ideas over and over and over in their comments. Everything is memes, and that everything is actually a small number of ideas being produced every day, possibly countable in one hand. You have to dig hard into social forums to find a unique perspective, as the self-congratulating, selfimportant crowds seem to have crowded out everyone else.

Anecdotally, how many sites do you find yourselves browsing daily?

Yeah, that's one of the big problems with capitalism. The laws of microeconomics state that in a free market, the market will produce as many widgets as possible, using up all possible resources to do so. This isn't good for human happiness or for the environment. Who really wants to live in a world where we are buying and producing as much as possible?
Essentially yes. Not wiped out per se, but underwater. If they can grow the business beyond the high water mark, then there’s a shot at getting paid. But I’d say in a best case that’s unlikely.
I agree that it's a killer experiment and someone should do it.

But BER doesn't sense double strand breaks. It senses changes in the curvature of the dna induced by point mutations that are solvable by extracting the base and replacing it templates by the other strand. So you'll want to induce damage with something that causes thymidine dimerization or DNA alkylation.
I think the misunderstanding here is that you did not answer the actual question, which is, what makes Linux less secure in comparison to macOS? What you mentioned applies to all OSes, and does not answer the question.
Concessions are part of negotiating, you never ask for what you want, you ask for twice as much and bargain down. Union looks good for pushing hard and company looks good for getting a better deal. It's also more successful to increase the demands gradually over time since no single round of negotiations goes over the "replace them all with non-union" threshold even if together they do.
I am consistently surprised at how often AAA is left as something to be implemented after perceived "core functionality". Organizational rules should stipulate that MVP's must contain AAA, because I would argue anything that doesn't is not a "viable product".

I think it's partially that it usually involves bringing another team into the loop, which can expose your design before you're really ready to share it. I've caused that problem myself; Okta was the accepted SSO solution, but getting creds to auth with it involved talking to Security and going through a review which would take at least 2 weeks, and then a week of actually waiting for it to come through.

I really wish more companies using Okta allowed some kind of a mode that is analogous to LDAP allowing anonymous queries for username/password checks. I don't need something that pulls down all the user info, just something that says "given this username and password, is it valid for someone". Rate limit me to 1QPS to prevent brute forcing passwords, that's fine, at least I can PoC with actual auth.
I think California changed the law, so it's legal to enter on the yellow. If it changes to red doesn't matter. However you can't block the box either. That was specifically to prevent muni's from shortening the yellow to generate revenue.
This is why I now walk off-airport at LAX before hailing a ride or just grab a cab - it's not worth dealing with the bullshit anymore.

Also, I feel like your comment matches my experience that overall, the rider experiences with Lyft and Uber are steadily trending toward a level almost as bad as taxis used to be. Everyone was happy when it really was just a bunch of people driving in their spare time for extra cash close to their normal routes. Then a significant portion of drivers started driving full-time for basically minimum wage and the end result is... rideshare drivers are taxi drivers. Reckless driving, spamming the horn, poor communication skills, constantly gaming the system to try to get more money / avoid less-profitable fares, etc. I feel like the rating system doesn't really help here because most people don't want to give bad ratings and potentially destroy someone's primary source of income.
Still about 1% of Google's traffic. DDG sees <50 million queries/day, Google sees 63,000 per second, or 226 million/hr.

https://www.impactbnd.com/blog/seo-statistics

Google actually lost some share beginning August 2018, to Baidu.

I've been using DDG as my principle search since about 2013, and very happily. It's fast, relevant, bangs are awesome (see earlier comment), and there's now a "most recent year" date-range search, which is useful.

I still use Google when I'm interested in (rough) results counts, specific date ranges, or soem specialty searches such as Google Books or Scholar (though I'm finding alternatives).
And is now worth $23B.

So I would assume he knows a little about business.
There are accents and colloquialisms spoken mostly by black people. Does that not count?
This also applies in the opposite direction for English loanwords of Chinese origin, which are often Cantonese. E.g. bok choy is from 白菜 (white vegetable), which is pronounced baak6 coi3 in Cantonese (Jyutping romanization) but báicài in Mandarin (Pinyin romanization). Note that Mandarin has lost the final -k of the first syllable, which is retained in the loan.
Have you tried the DDG setting where you can specify your region to get region-specific results?
A decent regular Linux distro running tablet with a Wacom digitizer (precise pen with pressure and tilt support) would be really nice with all the nice graphics tools we already have (Krita, Mypaint, Blender, Inkscape, etc.).

At the moment the only alternative (not counting thd horrendously expensive Windows running mobile studios sold by Wacom) is a couple high end Andrpid tablets and the Ipad Pro & their bunch of proprietary drawing apps.
There's more to do than that. We need decentralized replacement for social media And our own email servers for starters. This should all come in one box like a wifi access point or modem.
I'm confused by the comments. Is it fake new because WT is the source, or is it fake news because we have a legitimate source (e.g. University's or professor's statements) that actually confirms that it's fake?

I'm not, personally, familiar with WT but seems there are a lot of jumping to conclusions happening here.

I don't wanna say that EVERYONE is bias, just curios about what really happened.
It’s because we’ve given over to aggregators. When we need to actually get something done, they’re useful. If you want to explore though, they’re less useful. You need wiki links and webrings and recommendations that aren’t driven by algorithm.

Most of the citizens of the western world (even those with a degree) definitely pidgeon-hole expensive university projects as "toys", because they don't have one and don't see a need for one.

"So in line with that they're simultaneously crafting the beginnings of Russia's version of the Chinese firewall"

What they actually doing is making sure that their internal internet based infrastructure does not depend on what POTUS de jour feel like. Russia once had been threatened to be cut off from the Visa and other financial services and that had led them to create their own payment system. After the lesson like this one has to be the ultimate fool to leave one of the most important infrastructure to be controlled by foreign entities.

Trying to spin it as Russia vs democracy is just a propaganda on it's own.
You already exist in a democratic system (assuming you're posting from the first world) where majority (mostly, some caveats) rules. This isn't any different. Everyone gets a vote, not everyone gets their way.
I don't think that we have to assume competence when we have a system in place for issuing licenses, but you do have a point about people needing access to transportation. I do believe that any real solution would have to provide reasonable alternatives for people who do not meet the requirements. I also don't feel like the bar has to be raised much with regard to the licensing, but currently (and I believe knowledge of this to be reflected in some patterns of traffic control) the bar is clear-able by all with little to no competence check.
That's not what it appears from context.
You're still making the assumption that labor unions are inherently limited by human nature, and not worth attempting a v2. That goes against the SV ethos of tinkering with existing systems and reinventing them.
The codes used are:

>> Study Effect Codes:

>> P This study reported effects from the exposure or radiation category (effects can be either positive or
negative and may be primary or secondary outcomes)

>> N This study reported no effects from the exposure or radiation category

>> - This study offered important insights or findings but is neither evidence of an effect or a null finding

I'll be honest, this ordering seems dubious to me. P (for positive?) can show either positive or negative effects. N (for negative) shows no effects. - (for neither?) shows neither evidence of an effect or a null finding. I would think that P needs to be subdivided better to show which papers show a positive or negative effect.

Can someone do a count on the number of each category?
A factor that is easy for developers to overlook is that the legal system still cares who owns the hardware. So if all your stuff is at Amazon, a warrant can be served to Amazon and they will let the cops into your stuff. No contract can keep that from happening.

If a company (or person) really wants complete visibility and control into their relationship with law enforcement, they have to host their own hardware... ideally, their own data center.
As a person who grown up and got education in the former Soviet Union, pr Daniel hits a wrong target. In SU, higher education ( except some prestigious areas like international diplomacy, or dental doctors ) was almost completely based on personal performance. Prestigious high school were rare, but did not need any extra money. Yet, the pattern was exactly the same: In universities, in these high schools with better education, all but few students were from highly educated parents. If you from factory workers family, much likely that you will drop from high school and go to factory, after professional training. Soviet Union regarded a little smart people. Engineers and Doctors ( except extraordinary ones ) were among the poorest. My mom as engineer had salary about two times less than ordinary factory workers. US rewards educated people best, this is why strict correlation between education level and income. But the main problem, and this is common for both US and SU, that less educated parents do much less efforts to push their children.
Don't remember who said it, but it describes the problem: "To be educated person, You have to graduate three universities. The first one should finish your grandfather, the second do your father, and you graduate the third"
If you’re working somewhere that treats Jira stays as a measure of your worth as an employee, that’s a company problem, not a Jira problem. We literally wouldn’t function as a team if we didn’t use some kind of task/epic tracking. Remote screen capture isn’t even on the same planet as Jira.

Ah, perhaps I should have specified; as well as being industry convention, our suppliers are obligated by contract to ensure all the items on a pallet have the same expiry date; and they are generally the original manufacturer who packaged the goods and attached the expiry date in the first place.

They can, of course, print any expiry date on it they like. But they're also pretty motivated not to poison their customers, which is widely seen as bad business practice :)

In our case we do carry out random spot checks on inbound goods, but that's mainly checking for things like bruising on fresh fruit and vegetables.
