That's true of companies in general, but not of corporations, and we've loaded up the corporate structure with so many advantages that it's a deal hard to resist. There are a very few companies that stay private so that they can pursue goals other than maximum short-term profit at all costs, but as a practical reality corporations are the dominant form of business today. I wish we'd go back to having enforceable time-limited charters, as the only fair trade for all the benefits we extend to corporations, but that's not the world we live in right now.
No way you're getting 80% back. More like 25%.
The UK doesn't use the metric system for distances, at least when talking about travel. The only switching is from yards to miles.
We killed the butler: Replacing Jenkins with Concourse
I find number theory to be closer to a natural, investigative science akin to Physics rather than pure math such as calculus.

IANAM, but I doubt there was ever a modern calculus theorem that was hinted by a brute force search.
One can argue that Calculus is "made up" and thus research in this field is finding deeper logical consequences for the initial axioms, while natural numbers just "have properties" and research is Number Theory is trying to uncover these properties by brute force and later trying to prove them, arguably quite unsuccessfully so far.
It's an interesting tidbit in the philosophical question of "Does math exist only in our head?"
Thanks for the link, nice to know it can be done at the hobyyist-level. But it's still a lot of work I (personally) do not enjoy spending time with. If I had the space I'd probably setup my (hypothetical) MPCNC for milling PCBs, so I can do quick single layer prototypes (maybe some simple stacking using header rows), but anything more complex would still go to a fab.

Some companies value their reputation and want to protect it.

Being nasty might give you short-term profits but cost you in the long run as people will avoid dealing with your company just because of that.

I guess what's happening with companies such as Oracle is that the reputation is already ruined beyond repair and there's nothing else to lose by being nasty so they do it.

1)
For optimal performance, should contain: strict be applied for any type of elements? Or just for containers (div,span, ul, etc)
Is e.g adding contain: strict or contain:content to <p> a noop bloat that is going to decrease performance? (because p never have descendants but would still enable a check by the browser and make the css bigger).

Also 2): if I understand correctly, if contain: content is applied to a parent divs, it will apply to all it's child divs.
So it would be a bloat and a noop to apply contain:content to it's child divs?
Therefore is the optimal selector: body > div {
contain: content;
}
or is it div {
contain: content;
Or is it * {} (and if so, with or without pseudo elements?)

Edit: regarding 2) it seems to be refuted as I've read that all elements by default are not and inherited to false, therefore contain on a parent does not set contain on it's children.
But 1) is still unknown and not answered anywhere which is a shame.

You should consider plain Java tbh. Java 15+ is basically Kotlin anyway at this point. It's much easier to hire or outsource Java developers.
Yeah I'm sure they can, but the new makeshift SARS hospital is already leaking water on patient beds.
I think this is mostly true for me, but I wonder if the best approach involves a little bit of the 'semi-random' too. The internet is an amazing way to discover books and authors, and I feel like I'm exposed to a pretty eclectic mix, but I assume my discovery process is biased in some unhelpful ways. The payoff of discovering an entirely new (to me) and excellent author can be pretty great, perhaps even more so if their work is completely different from most of the stuff I read -- so maybe a bit of unguided exploration in unfamiliar territory is worthwhile, even if it's mostly unproductive? (Either way, I bet someone has analogised this process to some well-studied class of CS problem, and drawn interesting but practically dubious conclusions!)

This is a cool and super creative project, but I think the simpler solution would be to not buy a device that listens to all of your conversations at home, or at least switch it off when not needed. And if you're exposed to such a device as a guest in someone else's home or office, kindly ask the owner to switch it off and explain why you think it's not good to have such a device listening to all conversations you're having.

It would also not be so hard to make such devices more privacy-friendly e.g. by giving users are clearer indication of when they're listening to you and when they transfers data to the cloud. I think Amazon already allows you to review and download all audio conversations they have from you (in theory this is mandatory in the EU).
Getty treated itself as the state and the work as a government royalty subject. (government royalty subject is what your work becomes if you do a work-for-hire for a continental European government, i.e. the government becoming the copyright owner)

In your other comment (too deeply nested for me to reply to) you mitigate their actions with the quotation:

> If we are wrong and you do have a valid license

The crux of the matter is that this sentence does not make it clear that a licence may not be needed at all. In fact it seems to re-enforce the idea that you definitely do need a licence.

The appropriate sentence that they could have used instead is more like "if we are wrong and do not actually own the copyright", which is materially different from what they said. Of course, aside from that being a totally different meaning and implication, as others have said it is 100% Getty's responsibility to figure out what they do not own the copyright to.
Yes, you're right that email is more flexible here, however the issue is that lets say you have your own domain name, but use fastmail. If you loose your fastmail for whatever reason and didn't have backups, you get to keep your email identity if you point your MX to a new provider, which means people can still contact you, but you won't have any of your old email.

ActivityPub servers could do something similar here and in fact Mastodon in a sense supports this, (as you point out, the Actor's identity is essentially the URL of their profile, which could change host), but the problem then becomes that old interactions with the user will have 'ghost replies'. Understandably, as far as I know to save on storage and improve response times, not every interaction a user has on the fediverse with different users is copied to his/her server, that is replies in a thread from different users on different servers are still stored on their servers. Therefore if someone in a thread deletes their server, their responses/interactions will essentially disappear to anyone viewing that thread, so I might be replying to something a user said, but you won't be able to see what I am replying to etc.

Mastodon supports import/export, so that an Actor/user should be able to move servers and as long as they import their toots+followers + use the same domain, you shouldn't notice a difference, but I don't believe this is supported by the protocol directly.

If people wanted a new Reddit, which is to say a website in front of Usenet that is social and allows voting, what other features would you find interesting?

I'm sure there's someone reading these comments who is looking for a side project, and this may be interesting to them... let's help them out.
Exactly. And that's why the UK is especially stupid with units. At least in the US they are consistently idiotic with Fahrenheit and Miles and BTUs and so on. In the UK, they understand what a kilogram is, but measure weight in stones anyway. Fucking stones! And then this thing with yards and miles.

Utterly hopeless.

Unfortunately all of this is hampered immensely by the still way too high price of E-Ink displays.

What are you going to build with this, a price tag? I'd love to make some stuff using E-Ink displays that you can read from a few meters away, but screens at 8 or more inches are virtually unobtainable. :(

Indeed, you said "Distances longer than a few kilometers are measured in miles", which made it sound almost like someone starts a journey in km and then once it gets past say 10km switches to miles.

If you're pointing out the inconsistency of the UK using metric units for i.e. weight and then not for travel distances, I agree, its a bit of a schism.
Albert Camus on how love can combat life’s absurdity
Thanks for the feedback pknight. I'll address the points as follow:

(1) While watching it would be great to press a button to generate timestamps

This is already possible using hotkeys and documentation for it can be found here: https://tagx.io/support/advanced/hotkeys

(2) then compose tracks by selecting any two timestamps, with the ability to add tags to timestamps or tracks while the video is still playing or after

Just to clarify, do you mean the ability to add the current point in time of the video to different tracks? In which case, this is already possible using multiple hotkeys as outlined above. Please let me know if this is not what you meant.

(3) with the link just playing between timestamp a and timestamp b

You are able to create a loop between a tag or a set of tags, please see loop settings outlined here: https://tagx.io/support/interfaces/video

With regards to autoplay, this is a bit finicky depending on the browser and is usually not recommended due to the negative user experience so I didn't include an option to enable this feature.

Hope this is clear, let me know if you have any more questions.
This behaviour is not only unhealthy, it's also unnecessary. What precisely do you hope to gain from this? Do you truly think that you're really depriving any observing agents of knowledge that they desperately hoped to gain? I could understand protocall like this for mental health reasons, or for the desire to be "free" from technology for a time, but you can't justify this behaviour purely with privacy concerns. They already have more than enough information on you from the remainder of the time that you spend with your device(s).
I agree with what you're saying here, but I've also found it really difficult to get corporate customers to sign up on a monthly billing basis - they always want to send a PO on an annual basis, and often don't even have a means internally to pay for software on a monthly basis.

I've been on the other side of this in the corporate world too, and paying for stuff was always a horrible experience taking weeks at best, but often months. We'd always try to use OSS when possible, and built rather than bought far more often than we'd have liked, precisely because of how much red tape there was. Sometimes our preferred option only allowed monthly billing, and we went with an alternative instead, because nobody wanted to go through a protracted, painful, soul-destroying process of getting authorisation to pay monthly.
You're comparing charging stations to gas. A more logical comparison would be electricity in charging stations vs gas in gas stations.
Features? No idea.

The thing that’s needed though is content, the problem that these spinoff Reddits have is that they seem to think catching the runoff is a good idea to build a community.

New reddit, whoever you may be, don’t populate yourselves with the communities that get banned from reddit.
For the actual record, in the UK distances are measured in miles. This can be seen on road signage.

Speeds are measured in miles per hour. This can be seen when driving a car, and also on road signage.

It's basically a mix. Yards are not really used outside really by people, but you will find feet and inches being used (alongside metres and centimetres) often in commercial settings.

Other examples of finding both things in the wild in use by people and companies in the UK: pints and litres. pounds and kilograms

I’m concerned about several of the claims made in this blog post from Voatz
Yes, all of them except mainland China.

I'm not the slightest bit concerned. No country except mainland China has more than 70 confirmed cases, and deaths worldwide are in the single digits outside of China. These are countries with millions, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of inhabitants. I'm heading to Singapore in a few days, which has the most cases outside of mainland China (likely because they're very good at tracking them) -- 67 out of a population of 5.7 million (0.00001%), and of course all of those people are in quarantine. I imagine some cases haven't been discovered yet, but I have a hard time imagining that changing the order of magnitude.

I'd be willing to travel to many parts of mainland China, but it causes problems for traveling to other countries, so I'm unable to for now.

I'll alter my travel according to the facts as they change, but for now there's absolutely no rational reason I can see for avoiding travel to any country other than mainland China.

I think founder is straightforward. I target 5%-10% higher income next week, or roughly 30% more next month if sales cycles are not weekly (mine was highly dependent on government paydays). Most people might want to target revenue instead, or even active users.

What's keeping you from hitting that target? Just focus on that. Would marketing/sales give you more income? Flying to that conference and making a talk? Do you need to handle customers better? Should the tech team ease the burden from the rest of the team? Add another feature? Improve existing ones? Do you need to spend more time hiring? Do you need to raise money to hire those people?

Being a founder in tech is incredible - you get to work on only the most important problems, unlike a job where you do the same thing over and over and force yourself through plateaus. It's like you have an extra dimension to maneuver around in.

I'd have weeks where I drive around the city pitching to investors. I'd have weeks where I'm driving off to another state to meet suppliers. I'd have weeks where I'm on the floor dealing with excess customers, writing up customer service scripts for someone else to do later. Weeks where I'm promoting the company at a career fair, and interview people on the spot or within a day. One week, I got sick of the app color scheme, looked up designers, got a logo budget approved, worked close with the designer and got a perfect new logo in 2 days, and then redesigned the whole app scheme around the logo. One campaign, we had an overwhelming amount of orders (3000 people signed up in a day), so I hacked in an order/delivery management system overnight.

If you need motivation, I recommend the rock star approach of hanging out with your fans. Or rather, just look at who is giving you their hard earned money. We get lots of feedback, reviews, in app, chat, customer messages. Take some time to write a personal thank you to some customers. Handle some existing customers yourself, not just the new ones. Thank your suppliers/partners or have a chat with them. Handle complaints personally; don't expect staff to do most of them... it's not fun for them as they're powerless, and they don't pass the valuable data.

> Quantum computer, however, is good at integer factorization. Using Shor’s algorithm, quantum computer does integer factorization in polynomial time, which makes cracking the RSA cryptosystem possible.

Does increasing the size of the key get around this problem, if not is there any solution to this?
I do not see different results:

import random

N = 8192
counts = [0] * 10

for n in range(N):
first_digit = int(str(2**n)[0])
counts[first_digit] += 1

for i, count in enumerate(counts):
print('{} => {:.3f}'.format(i, counts[i] / N))

Output:

0 => 0.000
1 => 0.301
2 => 0.176
3 => 0.125
4 => 0.097
5 => 0.079
6 => 0.067
7 => 0.058
8 => 0.051
9 => 0.046

I still see results that agree with Benford's law.
I wonder what the implications are for cryptography - given the heavy reliance on 'random' prime numbers

but one would have to delve into this - and from the top of my head there are no algorithms that make you pick 'two consecutive' primes - so the implications - if any - aren't obvious - anyone here has some more light or other angles to shed into this?
"Distances longer than a few kilometers are measured in miles" was a direct reference to the OP's "yards to measure distances shorter than a few kilometers".
Why would this have any implications on cryptography? This does not make factoring an RSA modules any easier.
Basically I have some toy accounts for those sites, in names that read somewhat like Fortran variables, sans meaning.

Currently using this thing called 33mail. Temp-mail works most times too, but 33mail forwards me the emails so I can even use forgot password option. On a relevant note, there are few websites that provide temporary phone numbers if you're from US/Canada, or in contexts US/Canada temporary phone number helps.
They are not afraid of the law. In US civil lawsuits are expensive as hell. That's not the case in a lot of other countries where systems are in place to resolve conflicts, before a judge, at a very low cost.
nit: I've never understood why people use the term re-rendering for vdom recomputations.
I'm not a native english speaker but as I understand it, rendering means <calculating and/or firing> pixels at the screen.
So this term should only be used for step 3)

For vdom the term used should simply be re-computing or re-calculating or updating or diffing.
