Swedish empire was of obvious reasons not a homogenous rule, however the Swedish homeland was except parts of today’s Finland.

Forty percent of all ethnic Swedish males all share the same ancestor Ivar, who came from today’s northern Germany 3500 years ago. This tells us that Sweden didn’t have a lot of migration from the Bronze Age until modern era.

The different minorities where in total numbers compared to ethnic Swedes not that many except the Finns, but after the separation with Finland in 1809 that number decreased significantly.

In 1940 the numbers of individuals that was counted as Romani was about 8000, however many of the Romani arrived in the late 1900th century to Sweden.

Meänkieli is basically a Finnish dialect, a consequence of the separation of Sweden & Finland in 1809.

Many Yiddish speakers arrived to Sweden with the Second World War and the in the late sixties from Poland. In 1930 they where about 6000.

In 1945 it is believed that about 10 000 spoke Sami.

0.7 percent of people living in Sweden year 1900 was born abroad.

Unfortunately not, otherwise it would be easier to enforce consistency. The simple truth is that councils like many companies are not specialist developers but are expected to run high-quality web applications. Add in some Consultants who may have conflicting interests or lack of knowledge, semi-skilled staff, a friend-of-a-friend who told you to use X on your site, third-party web developers and a marketing team who need the "analytics" and you end up with this mess.

Like many companies, GDPR seems right down the list. The most troubling part of all for me was that the ICO acknowledged the illegality but didn't follow up. Sums up Britain to a tee!

In Norway you also don't have to pay their salary... Makes hiring a fixed term replacement a little easier and often the replacement turns out to be a good fit and if you want to grow you now have a four person company.

> Shareholders are ultimately the ones who choose the managers.

They absolutely are not. Do you think I (as an investor in Dow) have any say over who managed the plant in Bhopal?

> Average Joe has very little of that say, and proportionately little of the benefit. But the institution that manages Joe's 401(k) has, in aggregate, quite a bit of that say. And it's a little disingenuous of them to say, "It's not our fault that the manager we hired was dumping toxic waste. We just benefited from the savings in the waste management department."

That I agree with, and that's why you fine the company for the cost of the cleanup plus some punitive fine as a response. If that forces the company into bankruptcy, so be it, but BP absorbed a $65 billion cost for the Horizon disaster, so it seems like large companies could survive the potentially high expenses.

> Shares represent both a piece of the profit and a piece of control...

This is true in theory but not in practice, so I feel the rest of your comment doesn't hold up.
It’s interesting to me that these kinds of things are not catalogued and advertised like other vulnerabilities. This is an exploitable information leak using an endpoint that many other services likely have.

> I think this is a very vocal minority of people that are experiencing this

I think it's just some people are really sensitive to these noises. I can literally hear when my wife's phone is charged, because the charger starts to have insanely high-pitched coil whine (and I have to unplug it because I can't sleep with that noise).

I can hear my Carbon X1's coil whine when I'm scrolling in Firefox, for example, on Linux. It's driving me nuts. From what I've heard and seen on youtube on Dell, I literally could not use the XPS line.
Sadly, some of these list don't currently include google-analytics.com since some sites would otherwise break as a result. So when using one of these hosts files it's often a good idea to double check whether they include Google's domains first.

You sound angry. I'd suggest defanging that by considering eventual collapse as always having been our civilisation's trajectory.

Any creature that manages to escape, for a period, limits on its reproduction is going to overrun its environment. That's just elementary ecology. It should only be surprising to the religiously-minded who never truly believed humans to be part of the physical world. This includes many atheists raised on a superstitious belief in inevitable 'progress'.

If you think about it, the notion that the assemblage of cognitive, conative and affective faculties that evolution installed on a primate for the purposes of hunting and small group coordination were somehow magically going to be up to the job of managing a whole planet was always pretty fanciful.
I suspect you're right. But then, with a good, large data set, maybe something would show; once enough people get too sick to use a computer.

Maybe the number of DNS requests from distinct IP addresses goes down. As you say, traffic/data volume might keep more constant.
> Bullying falls under intent, so that isn't really on point.

As a response to you, true. It was just one of the most obvious disproofs of the 'sticks and stones' adage.

> Who defines what insensitive means in a public forum? As a willing participant in the discussion, the onus is on you to opt out if the discussion makes you uncomfortable. Nobody is targeting you.

Who defines any of our social or moral concepts? I'm not arguing for some kind of language police, I'm saying I care about whether my words are likely to cause harm, and I think other people should too.

> If the world has to censor all public discussion that may be painful or dredge up old trauma for some random person, then it is going to get extremely quiet.

I think you're creating a dichotomy where actually there's a massive continuum. You can care about the way your words affect other people, and modify them accordingly where appropriate, without self-censoring every thought that could possibly hurt anyone.
> And even so, how in the world does 1000-year old interactions threaten your world view of Swedish cultural/racial purity and its relevance in modern times?

I don't know, ask the people "[franticly searching] for anything and everything which can be used to 'prove' that Sweden [or anywhere else] has always been a melting pot of different cultures". They're the ones implying this is relevant, and that Vikings not being influenced by Arabic
culture would somehow make white supremacism less stupid.

Also, to add to what several other people have said, modern Arabic, even more so that most illegible scribbles^W^W cursive scripts, is notorious for any random collection of curves looking like a word; I think we're up to three different cases of someone catching a fish with "Allah" written on it's scales. Somehow, I doubt the situation with older Arabic writing systems is any better.
In re airplanes, deflecting air down is a perfectly intuitive explanation. Change in momentum of air means change in momentum of wing in opposite direction by the third law.

Could it be that LA actually has or at least had more natural resources?

>In the 1890s, the small town of Los Angeles (population 50,000) began a transformation driven by the discovery and drilling of some of the most productive oil fields in history. By 1930, California was producing nearly one quarter of the world's oil output, and its population had grown to 1.2 million. In the decades that followed, many wells closed, but even more opened, surrounded by urban and suburban growth. Machinery was camouflaged, loud noises were abated, methane pockets were vented, as residents learned to live side-by-side with oil production facilities. To this day, oil fields in the Los Angeles Basin remain very productive, and modern techniques have centralized operations into smaller areas or moved offshore.

In this case, the author both found the information in the installer, and the apt has a "Opt out of Experience Sharing" privacy checkbox (which I would agree should be opt in, not out), so to me covers most of this.

NY, LA, Chicago, SF, and LA are both heavily regulated in terms of what 'socialist' land use laws they can implement by the fact they must follow the constitution of the United States of America, which by and large guarantees the right to private property.

> If they were, then Somalia would be a capitalist's paradise instead of a warlord's paradise.

Capitalism and 'classical liberalism' explicitly call for a government strong enough to enforce individual rights from abuse by other individuals. Somalia does not have that and is thus missing a key component of Capitalism. Nice strawman though!

Interesting. Second comment about how awesome the debugger is. What could other debuggers learn from SAP's debugger?
Upvoted.

> But a single review reveals nothing.

Agreed. The top comment presents a single review. Anecdata, little informational value - outrage mongering, fair point. That was responded to by Reedx who disputed the value of a single review (ok) and presented what was implied to be a broader cross-section of reviews. One of those felt peculiar, not phrasing I would expect in 59 independent reviews. I dug up the only sample I could find and smelled astroturf.

Although my comment was negative I didn't address the point: "Why cherry pick 1 review?". Perhaps I should have opened by agreeing with Reedx that ancedata != data.

Perhaps we can both agree to:

Is Glassdoor a reliable and unbiased (including selection bias) source of information? Hell no.

Did I contribute in some part to the outrage mongering by not affirming Reedx's good point and writing a wholly negative reply? Yes.
security by obscurity is not security.
Sure, the trend is “clearly” linear until it’s not. Hell a hockey stick chart is mostly two linear trends stuck together. A sigmoid is too.
There’s an unfortunate productization that happens when you put some code publicly on GitHub. There seems to be a culture that you should make the repo look attractive even if it’s just some off the cuff experiment no-one ever tried to run in production.

I’m certainly not against doing your work in public if that works for you, but I wish GitHub were better at encouraging people to label their half finished experiments as half finished experiments.

Setting Up a GCE Instance as an Inlets Exit Node
Having brought up an ERP solution with a team, this is no joke. A company with payroll, inventory, contracts, and logistics (to name a few), needs an ENORMOUS infrastructure of software to keep things running. There's a reason ERP is so expensive. In fact, I'm surprised it is only a US$41B industry. I would expect 10x that.

The fact that Chrome has an ad blocker at all is hugely anticompetitive, even if it can be disabled. (TFA doesn't say)
I guess it's sort of analogous to that, but this tool isn't strictly one for "security". Journalists with access will use it for analysis, not to keep their PII secret. I don't think this is an insightful comparison.
This sounds likely. If I were a dev receiving this, as soon as I found out that I couldn't build anything or there were files missing, I'd have just roundfiled the disk and never give it a second thought, unless the tool were mission-critical for something.
I'd disagree with that.

Given that the Wacom utility is full of app-specific references and "customize your tablet, per app", I'd say that this is on par.

Definitely a lot like religion. I really recommend the book "Christianity: the first three thousand years". Post historical crucifixion of Jesus the first few hundred years of Christianity sound like a purity spiral, monarchism, gnosticism, origenism.

The original church in Antioch first applied the word catholic to Christianity (καθολικός / katholikos) but was then later ejected from the western church in 1054 for not being catholic enough.

There are some examples on the Web; I'm not sure about quality, but here is a couple:

Norvig implements (some pieces of?) Prolog in Lisp in his book (book text is freely available)

2) https://github.com/prolog8/awkprolog

An implementation of Prolog in AWK.
Good observation, the advent of modern technology made it much harder to have "small, victorious war".

All conflicts in between major powers risks becoming a total war, or a deep conflict very quickly.

Paradoxically, the deep economic interdependence today can actually incentivise conflict, with thinking "it will hurt them more than us"

That's orthogonal to what I'm saying.

The university needs more students (cough customers) which means making sure it has policies that don't drive away certain segments of the population. This applies to attracting certain kinds of staff as well (a century ago the professor writing this article would have been unwelcome at most universities around the world and even if not subjected to much teasing, scorn etc).

You might well say "but that will send away certain others" and I can't disagree but the administrators have decided one pool is larger and more valuable than the other.

Separately I'm not completely sure how useful that "think tank" distinction really is; MIT doesn't have a divinity school while down the road Harvard does. That reflects a certain stance of what the institution is for (though MIT has a chapel and has some very religious students). Likewise MIT was institutionally very focused on policy and government research from the 1940s through the 1990s); the institute very specifically changed their orientation due to economic factors; certainly many faculty objected but that change happened. Really this is no different.
Most folks have two requirements:

The scale at which containerised scheduling of this outcome saves more time than it consumes is much higher than many have been led to believe. I measure it in sysadmin FTE. If you have >0.5 FTE dedicated to managing deployments then there may be a payoff, because (amortized over a reasonable period e.g. 12 months) it takes at minimum half an FTE to setup, manage, and maintain a PaaS properly.

I've become accustomed to folks claiming things like, "I spend 5 minutes a week managing my kubernetes cluster". Then it turns out it took them a solid month to get it going properly, two weeks to containerise their application reliabily, and then next quarter they're stuck for days on some weird networking or logging issue, and nothing else progresses. Basically, they either don't value their time, or they're misjudging how much they've actually allocated.

It's often the same people who boast about how cheap their bare-metal servers are vs public cloud instances.
I'm guessing that most people have (or create) a support network. Their parents might move closer, they join parenting groups etc. so that there are people to watch the babies, give you help etc.

Of course there are people who don't have that but that is a sad state whether you have children or not.

Ice that is floating displaces an amount of water whose weight equals its weight. That's why a little bit floats above the water and most is under the water.

When that ice melts, it still weighs the same amount and fills exactly the amount of space that it was displacing. In other words, it fits perfectly in the space in the water that it was already occupying.

So floating ice that melts (above or below the water) doesn't change sea levels at all.

Only melting ice that is currently supported by land will increase sea level.

Getting triggered like this indicates the opposite of the trend you're pointing out (not that they are mutually exclusive).

The West Washington State coast is EXTREMELY rocky and hilly. Pike's Market is on the 5th? floor, alongside the main seattle incline.
