I agree, at the end this is more about copyright and licensing of a publication. It seems a shame to gatekeep useful info behind "Muh copyrights!". Then again, the government could've probably worked out a deal for e.g. a donation from one of the biggest companies in the world. But oh well, the Tories aren't a capable bunch, indeed if the NHS had been properly run there'd be no need to ask for donations.

As for appointments, couldn't they find that info in your day to day calendar? (Does Alexa interface with e.g. Google Calendar?). If my doctor's appointment are in some other database and not duplicated there, I'd probably miss it.

Although, a tool reminding me to take my medicine (which particular pills) would be an interesting feature. Or one that can refill my prescription online. If only it came without the whole mass surveillance/we're going to sell your data problem.

Facebook published an API for third party apps to access data with user consent, and Cambridge Analytica used it. The outrage indicates that a belief that there should not have been such an API.

I hardly ever buy hardback books, but I think the paperback books are cheaper in the UK.

I had a long trip changing planes in Los Angeles followed by Heathrow, and I bought the second part of a trilogy in LAX, and the third part in LHR. The American edition is better quality, but was 50% more expensive than the UK/European edition.

If this is the same research that always gets cited, then it more accurately shows that boy and girl monkeys played with the wheeled toys an equal amount, but the girls played with the doll toys more.

That still shows a gender imbalance, but I find it interesting that it always seems to be used to imply that girls don't like trucks, rather than boys don't like dolls as much.

(A similar rhetorical trick is used when talking about favorite colours.

Wikipedia articles on any controversial topic are bound to be utterly useless, because they tend to attract admins with a strong opinion on the topic who proceed to ensure the article agrees with their POV. If there are admins with different POVs, they don't attempt to reach the consensus, but rather try to ensure the other one is banned or at least topic-banned.
I begin to think that mass civil resistance movement is the only way to achieve deep structural social change. And deep structural changes is what we need to avert climate change. Think about historical precedents. Women suffrage, civil rights, anti-war movement, gay rights. None of these changes were initiated by the government. I also think XR is correct in saying that traditional methods of campaigning of the last 30 years have failed. It's time to try something new. Civil disobedience. A nice feature of these tactics is that you don't need the majority. Apparently it takes 3.5% of the population to take part in sustained active resistance to bring about radical change [0].

They're missing out on a useful feature of credit cards. If you get hit with a fraudulent transaction, you can dispute the charge to get it reversed. I have never tried this with a debit card, but the credit card companies make this much easier than dealing with your bank.

Also, if you pay the balance in full every month, you don't get charged interest.

If you're disciplined, then you'll use credit cards for every cashless purchase.
Is IVF better than surrogacy?
More than ever.
But there are some environments where security is (almost) the only relevant factor, e.g. banking IT-infrastructure. I don't want my bank to pull arbitrary images from Dockerhub because that increases their comfort.

Conversely, if I were sysadmin at a bank I would most definitely be concerned what was running in my network.
There's also Typeit (https://typeit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
This says nothing about being on the 'right' side of the argument.
What we call a credit card in Europe is usually a charge card: You have to pay back at the end of the month. Not paying will result in immediate closure of your account and sending the bill to collections. There is no option to transfer your debt to the next month.

This is actually fairly common in Clojure annd Clojure script. Sometimes using the Datomic DB as a backend for it.

This is an older presentation but its all about doing Datalog from the client to the DB.

But if you go threw the Clojure world, there is Datalog all over the place, both client and server. Check out Datascript:

I see the value when running e.g. home instrastructure on some old laptops or other non-critical stuff. Most people have NAT at home and thus whatever services they pull and listen in their local network aren't exposed to the outside world, and they can enjoy mopidy/NextCloud/whatever without going through a lot of hassle setting it up.

Of course once we come to enterprise environments the opaque build/deployment process is atrocious.
Are you really saying that in our society there is a more stupid amount of aggression towards things being gender neutral that are actually gendered than the reverse?

This seems absurdly out of touch with reality.

To give just one example, but I hope you'd agree there are literally millions if you think about it for a second: There was a recent Hollywood movie and documentary about the true story of a man who was beaten into a coma and permanently brain damaged for wearing the wrong kind of clothes for his gender. And that doesn't seem particularly unusual to me (it's not really the focus of the movie).

I can't think of anything close to that in reverse?
That's comparing books by a single publisher in what looks like a very specific series, with paperbacks from different publishers.

The former - the one you prefer - looks institutional to me, like something a hospital or childcare home would buy in bulk, at a discount, to provide reading material for the unfortunate inmates.

The latter has a lot more distinctiveness, and is chaotic since the book designs individually try to grab attention, so that they sell themselves in a bookshop. I don't particularly love the result, it's an artifact of how books have been sold over the past century, but it's preferable to the former by some distance. It's far easier to spot a book whose cover you know in the second style.
Depends on your definition of fraudulent. If money is stolen out of your account or your card is cloned then you will get your money back with a debit card. If the restaurant overcharges you or you are not happy with your webshop purchase then the bank will not help you out.

It might be an added benefit but in the end you do pay a couple percent on each purchase for that insurance.

On either the “artwork” or “collectible” front, the “pseudo” is an unnecessary modifier.

I think the Rust standard library is actually a liability in this case, not an advantage. The rust stdlib will essentially be an extra dependency and also the rust standard library doesn't have allocators, so unless you are very careful you might violate the principle of not doing allocations for the user. Also, even if it did have allocators, passing allocators from to Rust via a C interface would probably be awkward.

So if you do choose to make the implementation in another language, there are extra considerations that you have to take into account.
What are some known solutions to climate change? As far as I know it is a purely technological issue and we have zero viable solutions or any real ideas how to tackle the problem.

In Europe, banks handle these things for you, rather than an intermediary CC provider (although that is possible too). It's a misunderstanding if you thought there is no recourse whatsoever on European debit cards.
> Hadoop is an awful mess, but it has nothing to do with Docker, which is simplistic in comparison.

The fact that they can get away with a build system like this is very much due to docker (and curl | sudo bash) allow people to not feel the pain this mess causes, at least not right away.

> Yes, I have! In fact you can maintain patch compliance in a container pretty much the same way you'd maintain a VM or bare metal Linux installation!

But then you lose the declarative/immutable nature of docker, no? Except if you mean every time there's a security update, you rebuild your containers?
A very substantial portion (~98% of all public posts) of Google+ was successfully archived, at the Internet Archive, thanks to the Archive Team. As a longtime G+ user, and one of the organisers behind the G+ "Plexodus", the existence, assistance, and capabilities of the Archive Team were hugely appreciated.

AT and the Internet Archive have succeeded in preserving other content, though not all projects are successful. You can see a partial listing at https://www.archiveteam.org/

Even as notorious a "wasteland" as Google+ (a naming I've had some role in establishing: https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/naya9wqdemiovuvwvoyquq) had many millions of actual active users, and tens of thousands of active communities (https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Migrating_Google%...).

Unlike numerous other shutdowns, Google announced the G+ shutdown well in advance, though they "accelerated" the schedule twice, from "sometime in August 2019" to April 1, 2019, the eventual shutdown date. The tools Google offered for archiving and migrating content, whilst among the best in the industry (an exceptionally low bar), were incredibly insufficient: buggy, incomplete, duplicative, and not readily portable). It was largely third-party tools and assistance -- the Friends+Me Google+ archiver and ArchiveTeam most especially -- that meaningful preservation was possible.

The conceit of large-scale, free-to-use services has been convenience, capability, and trust, the last a point Google explicitly made in its original G+ announcement:

You and over a billion others trust Google, and we don’t take this lightly. In fact we’ve focused on the user for over a decade: liberating data, working for an open Internet, and respecting people’s freedom to be who they want to be. We realize, however, that Google+ is a different kind of project, requiring a different kind of focus—on you. That’s why we’re giving you more ways to stay private or go public; more meaningful choices around your friends and your data....

https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/introducing-google-p...

That trust has been repeatedly violated.

And in actively opposing archival efforts, Google, Yahoo, Flikr, and others, are violating that trust only so much the more.

In the G+ shutdown, it was the active dismissal, obstruction, and interference of Google and its user-based support team (the so-called "Top Contributors") which were most disappointing. Long-time Google supporter Loren Weinstein made this point specifically and repeatedly:

https://lauren.vortex.com/2019/01/29/googles-g-user-trust-be...

I'll note that this tends to strongly reduce the value proposition of all Web 2.0 / SaaS offerings, given that even the very largest and wealthiest companies are willing to act in this manner.

The consistency of this behaviour and attitude across multiple service providers makes me think that the behaviour and practices are not coincidental or unintentional.

If you think this is neat, you'll probably also like the "grain selector" technique they use to cast single crystal turbine blades. This is useful for the blades operating in the hottest parts of the turbine, and helps avoid creep deformation.

To do this, they add a little spiral to the end of the wax turbine blade pattern before making the investment casting.

The mold is then filled with molten metal, and the entire casting is moved very slowly through a temperature controlled furnace with a hot and a slightly-less-hot zone. The metal solidifies at the interface between those two zones, and as the solidified "front" passes through the spiral, one crystal orientation ends up winning out, and then the remainder of the turbine blade solidifies into a crystal with that orientation.

There's not a lot of public information about this process (lots of trade secrets), but it's super cool.
