Sorry, I thought your original post was meant to address my original point. I said that the Born Rule (the association between squared amplitudes and subjective probabilities) isn't intuitive in MWI, and I thought you said "It makes sense because of Bayesianism."

Does it provide a deductive argument for using the squared amplitude? Or does it just make use of the same empirical evidence everyone else uses, and actually not provide any explanatory power?
Cobalt and tantalum are truly the Achilles heel of industrial economies.

No cobalt - no lithium batteries, and no mobile gadgets

No tantalum - no high spec capacitors omnipresent in compact power supplies, thus again no high value electronics as such unless you want to put huge electrolytic caps into your smartphone.
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a correct sentence in American English[0]

How come the English never tried for a spelling reform? Such reforms were implemented both in Sweden and Germany to simplify spelling. Like the article says, bear really should be spelled bair.

Your handle suggests you're Dutch: every Dutch passport issued in the last decade (and hence, I think almost every current valid Dutch passport?) has your fingerprints. In fact, the Netherlands is the only EU country so far (I think) that's storing them all together centrally, not just in the passport.

Yes. Spolsky in particular was a content marketing genius- his blog managed to garner a large audience, which in turn generated far more sales of Fogbugz than the software itself ever deserved.

Marketing is an important part of any business, so fair play to him.

Actually we need twice as manager characters, but we would need a lot less in any given words. Even decided Capital and lower case were different letters not different ways to write the same letter we would still need more symbols.

However that wouldn't help either. As a Mid-westerner I pronounce "about" differently from someone from Boston (they do something like a-boat). We no longer can reform spelling unless we also reform pronunciation as well.

The high level of sophistication of IP networking and the fact that one small mistake could mean your devices access the Internet is why a network that doesn't talk IP is almost inherently safer than one that does.
Seriously, it would be smarter to a) use encrypted comm channels and b) use phrases like the weather, or the hockey game. Positive / sunny weather = invest, bad weather = pull out / diversify. Same with sports games. "Oh hey the Wings went 3-0 last week, how you feeling about next week's match?"

Eh, I don't think giving more money to the third world mining companies is going to guarantee they're going to stop using child labor. The simplest and least risky decision for the tech companies is to simply stop buying Congolese cobalt. It's "blood diamonds" all over again.

Right, so HSTS will protect a visitor who has visited your web site at most max-age ago using that particular browser and device.

Or, as I stated, for preload, you have to either not have HTTP at all, or have a redirect to HTTPS: it should be clear from my above post why I think a redirect is a bad idea. I also dislike turning off HTTP for those that don't have any other option.

To me it seems that browsers just switching to https-by-default and http-as-fallback is a much simpler, better, backwards-compatible change that should just work. What am I missing and why do you feel HSTS is a good idea compared to that?
I think a big reform to change the language to write how you speak would happen someday but postponing it will make it harder when it will have to be done or maybe a new artificial international language that is consistent would solve this.

I personally have problems with the double L , I never know when to use 1 or 2, like in until and still , I always guess wrong and have to use spell check to fix the problem. Similar for other inconsistent usage of double letters.
Even as a native speaker, that was still a linguistic speed bump.

No. "Intellectual Property" is an umbrella term for some very different concepts -- copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets (maybe I'm forgetting some).

You can't copyright an idea, but you might be able to patent it. It's only intellectual property if you do.

11 Healthcare Innovation Trends to Watch in 2020
Every major tech company has changed its culture based on a changing landscape.

Apple - look at Apple’s revenue and profit mix over the past 10-15 years its apparent that they were able to change. Of course the change after Jobs came on is well known.

Microsoft - was “Windows first” during the Balmer era.

Facebook - was in danger of being made irrelevant after mobile. They were making a lot on games hosted on their platform.

Amazon: AWS and their move toward services even internally.

Netflix: went from shipping DVDs and had to become a tech company in the era of streaming.

And then there is Google....
Speaking of which, is "20% time" still a thing at Google?

> You are more or less forced to use LifeLabs because the doctors designated by the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) only partner with LifeLabs to do these tests, it’s an ugly monopoly that is impossible to fight as an immigrant.

The other main option is Dynacare. Besides those two, who else is there? Both have built up convenient infrastructure where results are fed back into doctors' EHR systems.

I wouldn't be against more competition, but it seems that there are certain economies of scale that make bigger more efficient:

Forvo can help with this. Recorded pronunciations for words and phrases, crowdsourced from native speakers, with information about their gender and home region. (Useful for fine-tuning your pronunciation and intonation.) It has an app, and, if you're the flashcarding type, the website lets you download MP3s.

Beyond that, I think all I can offer in consolation is that English orthography does have an internal logic; there are guidelines you can use to tell when "ea" is pronounced /ɪ/ and when it's pronounced /ɛə/ or /e/. It's all subtle enough that it's useless to try to actually learn them - thinking about that stuff will just slow you down, which is worse than making the occasional pronunciation error. But, over time, you will develop an instinct for it, and it will all eventually start feeling natural. Same for stress accent.
Ethical philosopher Peter Singer presents and expands on the following argument in his book:[1]

"First Premise: Suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care are bad.

Second Premise: If it is in your power to prevent something bad from happening, without sacrificing anything nearly as important, it is wrong not to do so.

Third Premise: By donating to aid agencies, you can prevent suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care, without sacrificing anything nearly as important.

Conclusion: Therefore, if you do not donate to aid agencies, you are doing something wrong."

So is it because it's sharp or flat or is it because of its position relative to the tonic?
no, it has nothing to do with a “stupid” law, it seems to me the article is misleading. It has to do with being a trusted source of identity information and fscking up very thoroughly:

The university of Giessen is providing it’s members identity services for the DFN Network (German Research Network) with a high degree of reliance called _advanced_.

This degree requires that „for identification, users must present themselves in person with an official ID. The enrolment and recruitment procedures established by the universities are considered as equivalent.“
( see https://doku.tid.dfn.de/en:degrees_of_reliance )

It seems to me that this university’s services are a very interesting target.
We kind of do the same thing, only in the form of prefixes (podać, wydać, zdać, zadać, oddać, poddać, nadać, przydać etc. and on and on it goes). Ultimately it boils down to the same thing - little syllabic bits altering the meaning of the verb.
I'm surprised they have a problem. The likes of GM is well known to trace their supply chain down as many levels as required to ensure this doesn't exist. GM has already faced this nightmare (I'm not sure if they were sued, or just got tired of protests) and takes care to ensure that they know who buys what from who all the way down. GM isn't a big tech buyer, but they are big enough to be worth changing your practices so you can sell to them. GM isn't the only company as well, just one that I know of from publicly available information.

Maybe because English doesn’t have a “central authority” as opposed to for instance French with the Academie Francaise? That makes reforms difficult/impossible.
The same system exists for the Dutch public transport (exactly the same cards). Privacy wise you are able to buy an anonymous card with cash. But ... the operators are phasing out machines which are able to accept cash faster than you can find them and they are idiotically expensive if you want to replace them every few weeks as they are tracking you anyways even on the anonymous cards.
I think most Google employees are aware of that problem and wish there was a better support structure in place. They aren't paid 300k per year to deal with some random account request though, they are paid to write systems that deal with one billion accounts, so there is not much opportunity there. Until the tech giants hire massive support workforces, this isn't something engineers can do anything about.

Argument about CAB, should also include its counterpart NRC. When NRC is applied, you "exclude people" as illegal immigrants, and in CAB, you "include people" as legal, leaving out others. These laws can and will be amended as per the state's interest, which ultimately decides who to include or exclude.

My original post: The strange thing is that all the weight of the ice is pulling our area down. When all that ice melts our area will be lifted up. So we won't notice much difference.
Edit: some facts are that the sea level at the west coast of north America has dropped and the sea level above Australia has risen. Sea levels are not as 'level' as you might think.
By the way: I'm not saying we should not worry and nothing is going on.

After looking more into it I must say the above is not true. Our area is just outside the 'dent' of weight of the ice. So our area is likely to go down a little when the ice melts.

It has more to do with the gravitational force of the ice mass. In our area the ice is pulling the sea towards it so the sea levels are higher. When this mass melts the sea levels in our area will go down.

It's also extremely common. How many people these days carry separate work and personal phones, for example? (Some do, of course, but I'm pretty sure they're the exceptions.) And, especially anyone who travels a lot probably uses one laptop a lot of the time too.

Is this "best practice"? Probably not. But it's convenient and it's usually not an issue. (Though I fully agree that, if you know something is a potentially borderline issue, it makes sense to wall personal and work off more completely.)
I disagree, "bear" should be spelled "bear" and "air" should be spelled "ear". "Ear" should be spelled "iar". Basically, a phonetic alphabet.
My music school provides free theory classes if you take any weekly class to learn how to play an instrument. The professors teaching you an instrument know what theory you are learning - so they will then include that in the music you are learning to play so you can see the theory in practice. If you want to learn quickly, a good music school is going to be hard to beat. I'm basing this on having tried teaching myself online and having had many private teachers. Both of which work, but just a lot slower and with more limitations.

Regarding the legal merits of the case, I notice that don't see any coverage of a proposed theory of liability in the article. The lawsuit text is more informative, pointing at a bunch of sections of US Code about forced labor, trafficking, and sale into voluntary servitude — for instance, 18 U.S. Code § 1589 which notes, "(b) Whoever knowingly benefits, financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation in a venture which has engaged in the providing or obtaining of labor or services by any of the means described in subsection (a), knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that the venture has engaged in the providing or obtaining of labor or services by any of such means, shall be punished as provided in subsection (d)."

But I'm not at all certain the court is willing consider the purchase of goods on the world market to be equivalent to "participation" in this venture, even if the suit asserts that "The Cobalt Supply Chain Is a “Venture”". Is there meaningful precedent for interpreting a supply chain in this way?
