> “Through the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan NYAY Yojana, steps have been taken to provide all requisite resources to the farmers of Chhattisgarh, encourage crop production and send funds directly to their bank accounts. There is a plan to include landless tribal agricultural labourers in the second phase of this scheme. This is a very unique decision which will make them all self-sufficient,” said Sonia Gandhi.

Next phase is providing ubi to labourers who don't have any land. This sounds like a great step forward.

Why do you say it's a black market? Reselling of license keys is legal within the EU. Granted the hundreds of keys mentioned in the article were originally stolen, therefore illegal to sell but it seems they're taking steps to combat those, including honoring the 10x agreement with the developers.

Having quickly googled it, I've seen much criticism about their sale of grey market keys (keys sold cheaper to specific markets being sold to other markets) but those are legal. Many of the other criticisms are because some users are selling stolen keys, which puts g2a at the same level as Amazon or Ebay.
At some point 9.6 won't get security patches and bugfixes anymore as far as I understand. That alone is a reason not to fall too far behind with upgrades.

There is lots of new stuff regarding declarative partioning and parallel queries. If any of that seems useful to you those are big new features.

There have been lots of small performance improvements that add up, and also the long requested change to CTEs as omptomization fences.

I used to live in a neighborhood that had a few little spurs of discontinuous streets that were the same name as some half a mile away. So we’d get people lost in there all the time.

I remember a Nextdoor post in my neighborhood where the author said they were out jogging and a black man in a pickup truck slowed down and asked for directions.

So many replies along the lines of “did you call the police? he could be casing the neighborhood.”

I’m pretty certain there wouldn’t have been a Nextdoor post made if it were a white guy in a sedan.

No. Seriously not. Daytrading is not a job for 99% of all. Even if you survive the first years, your risk management will also affect your "income". If you get greedy, your losses will break your neck. It's not something you can quantify like a "real" income you can count on.

I trade S&P500 futures sometimes. It's fun when the markets go slowly up all the time or if there is a sharp drop. In all other times you'll probably lose a lot of money.
Cool to see someone that shares my view. Of course it's not all black and white. There are some illustrators who have established a name for themselves, like Karol Banach. People like him incorporate this template for human proportions into their trademark style, but the body elements are neatly composed into a larger picture. It's mostly mimicking 20th century fine painting styles. Decidedly more Picasso than Matisse.
And then there are all those poor schmucks pumping out commodity illustration. Aside from Humaans, I think I've also seen some official guidelines for Illustration by Facebook. This is sad. This is how the Internet got corporate.

Create a CI/CD Pipeline with Kubernetes and Jenkins
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration/Continous Delivery and/or Deployment.

A team that does not implement CI/CD will have to pass through the following stages when it creates a new software product:

1- The product manager (representing the client’s interests) provides the needed features that the product should have and the behavior it should follow.

The documentation must be as thorough and specific as possible.

2- The developers with the business analysts start working on the application by writing codes, running unit tests, and committing the results to a version control system (for example, git).

3- Once the development phase is done, the project is moved to QA. Several tests are run against the product, like User Acceptance Tests, Integration Tests, performance tests among others. During that period, there should be no changes to the code base until the QA phase is complete. If there should be any bug, they’re passed back to the developers to fix them and hands the product back to QA.

4- Once QA is done, code is deployed to production by the operations team.

There is a number of shortcomings for the above workflow:

-- First, it takes so long from the time the product manager makes her request until the product is ready for production.

-- It’s harder for developers to address bugs in code that has been written since quite a long time like a month or more ago. Remember, bugs are only spotted after the development phase is over and QA phase starts.

-- When there’s an urgent code change like a serious bug that needs a hotfix, the QA phase tends to be shortened due to the need to deploy as fast as possible.

-- Since there’s little collaboration between different teams, people start pointing fingers and blaming each other when bugs occur. Everybody starts caring only about his/her own part of the project and lose sight of the common goal.

The worst part is that grandma doesn't understand these childish interfaces.

What grandma needs (according to my experience with my own grandma) is something that is consistent and doesn't change.

It doesn't matter if there are 50 buttons as long as the button she needs is always at the same place looks the same and does the same thing.

Old people are slow learners but they are not stupid. They can handle complex interfaces if you give them the time. What they can't handle is interfaces that change every week, especially those with hidden elements, no matter how simple they look.

Those numbers don't include secondary diseases like obesity, heart disease, cancer (and other pollution related effects), etc. You can also argue based on the comorbidity data that automobile use has contributed to the death rate from the virus. The virus might kill people quickly, but cars kill people slowly (and quickly). People are only afraid of the unlikely cause of deaths, but tend to ignore the likely causes.
Telemetry seems to be a sore and curt topic with Microsoft. I've yet to see anyone make headway on even just having a discussion about it with public facing MS devs; it almost always gets a quick, rote toe-the-line response and the discussion gets terminated or blackballed or ignored thereafter.

It has the airs of an internal mandate. I can't help but be deeply suspicious of this behaviour.

That's still not causation. A history of depression doesn't mean these members all had inherent brain misconfigurations. The brain's chemistry is not static in the first place. There could be afflictions, deficiencies, environmental conditions or cognitive biases spanning generations that could lead to these issues. Everything we experience is expressed as a chemical reaction in your brain, whether you're happy or sad. No one looks at an ecstatic person's brain and assumes they're wired to be ecstatic. Grief and depression can run long.

By virtue of the success rate of therapies such as CBT and others, the evidence for inherent "bad" brains runs thin.
I would have expected Microsoft to stalk their users like always and go for an opt-out instead of an opt-in (which, by the way, is legally required according to the GDPR but national privacy offices seem unwilling to actually take Microsoft to court).

What's sad is that Microsoft actively lied in its description and privacy statement by stating it's possible to opt out of tracking. This is not possible for Windows 10 Home and Pro users. Advertising that opting out is possible when it's not is a blatant lie.
I'm not sure whether that proves anything or not. It could be a tech demo or publicity stunt, for instance. If anything, if the first time you're hearing about it is through a tiktok video, rather than some sort of press release or news story, makes me think it's not a real production system.
I think psychology needs to be taken into account here:

The currency we have right now on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook is reputation. There, it's in the form of Followers. That's the very currency that Stack Overflow uses to grow and sustain.

It's "gamified". And the blogosphere needs that, too.

And in a way, blogs have that, but it's in the form of Reddit and HN and some other sites, where people get their karma fix by taking the time to read the blog post (upfront time investment), comment on it (risk losing karma), then get their comment being liked (return on investment), which augment their karma.

(Facebook does not have a Karma system like Reddit or HN has. But if it would, it would make the world a bit more like a certain black mirror episode of season 2.)

Why do you see coders put their reddit+HN profile links on their site? Because they want their reputation/karma/notoriety to follow them in real-life context, so it can be converted as real "notoriety currency". (people looking at their profile will say Gosh, this guy has 2000 points on SO and 4000 points on HN, he must be very smart or influent!).

So my guess is that the reason blogs still exist is because of sites like Reddit, HN, where people can get reputation (and not only knowledge) out of their reading. There's also something satisfying in the act of praising a good post with your friends. It's like watching a good movie and talking about how good it is with your friends.

And blogs also survived because that still being viewed as THE most professional was of expressing one's opinions. It gives you gravitas by default when you have your own blog, compared to having a Twitter / Facebook account like the plebs.

And you get the best of both worlds when you promote your blog posts on social networks.
How often have you seen the words: "Including but not limited to ..."? This is not an impossible problem.
The best way to make money in this way is by finding items that have been incorrectly listed (and thus undervalued) and listing them with better keywords, accurate information etc.

The tricky part is finding those listings in the first place because they will often be at the bottom of many searches due to poor relevance. Searching by "ending soonest" on eBay can bring up many hidden treasures.

You then need to have a good idea of the market rate of what you are selling and factor in a healthy margin: postage costs and handling time can add up quickly.

Relationship Advice lead-ish mod here. We were one of the subs "called out" as being controlled by Gallowboob with the original post and subsequent reposts.

We (buu700 and I) added Gallowboob some years back largely to have insight into how other teams modded their subs at a time when we were growing quickly and needed to know what to do to keep up. While useful in meeting that goal, we quickly realized it was pretty meaningless for /r/relationship_advice because of the nature of the questions we were getting. The only sub like ours is /r/relationships, and we each differentiated from each other by having different rules and content creation controls.

As best as we know, Gallowboob enjoys the place and is pretty decent at modding, so we're pretty happy to have him. Most mods burn out quickly because of how dark the questions get as well as because of how meaninglessly violent people become when their posts are modded.

Separate comment on an item in the story:

> Allam believes his time on the site has made him a more “paranoid” person and led him to develop “borderline PTSD.”

Moderating Reddit's larger subreddits is absolutely capable of resulting in PTSD-like symptoms. I've been dealing with some on and off after a post some years ago where somebody who requested advice followed through with the best course of action only to find that his wife killed their kids soon after. And Reddit has absolutely no support system for things like this.
This is another example of how often intuitions can be dramatically incorrect. I think most people assumed that roads would be much safer during lockdowns. But there's almost always some extra factor you're not aware of that that changes things.

I try to be skeptical of any of those "obvious" conclusions that come to mind. It helps a lot with programming, where the obvious solution to a problem is often fundamentally wrong. (I'm not always successful at doing that, though.)
Is that how it works now? I see tons of Teslas here in Texas and I cant imagine that is the process for everyone that owns one.
Why do you think that a dozen of startups in the space remaining after a possible youtube demise won't be burdened by the same policies? I think that the copyright lobby would try their best to tighten their control at a time when a huge corp stopped throwing its weight against them.

What youtube gives to the poor kid is instant and free access to a huge audience. Yes, it's comes with an (admittedly not really high) risk of a false positive and blocking for copyright reasons. I suppose the kid is smart enough to also have copies of the performance on other services, and safely stored locally.
It'd be the most valuable pill ever created, by far. Literally everyone would benefit from it.

Maybe it means that the quantity of reckless or otherwise terrible drivers remains fixed, despite advisories to stay home, since the personalities of all these careless individuals implicitly defines them as rule breakers.

Criminals don't abide by laws, and the standing population of such people on the road was not significantly changed by new rules advising to shelter in place. Automobile interiors, after all, are a certain form of personal shelter.

So, with fewer lawful drivers on the road, the chances of encountering members from a fixed population of rule breakers is higher.

If getting into an accident is like winning the lottery, this is like keeping ticket prices the same (the geographic range of roads drivers travel is mostly the same, and if you have a car, you've already paid to play for the most part), the amount of winning numbers (people who are prone to accidents) stays the same, but the wider pool of losing numbers is diminished in that your interactions with prudent and cautious drivers are reduced, so you're more likely to pick a winning number (get in an accident) if you choose to play the game (by driving in your local geographic region).
There's also the fact that any change from the norm is going to increase fatalities. Everyone's driving skills, instincts, muscle memory are tuned to the driving conditions they expect on a particular road at a particular time. Change anything and they make more mistakes than usual.

The blessing and curse of social sites in this modern world is that it gives us a view of the mind of people we would never have interacted with 10 years ago.

They were always there, but now they can talk to you, even if you would shun them in "real life".

I try to remember you can frame what they say in different ways. The "black man walking" post can be seen as "racist" or "badly written" or "someone has an anxiety disorder".

> I don't see at all how not being able to type certain non alphabetical symbols means it isn't good for English.

It means that because the English language uses punctuation and other non-alphabetic symbols, not just letters of the alphabet, as an examination of any substantial corpus of written material in the language not solely consisting of material where the writer was constrained by ASCII (and, heck, even those where they were, though the set of non-alphabetic symbols used would be narrower) would instantly reveal.

> Half you quoted are general math symbols that have nothing to do with English.

5 (7 if you mistakenly include angle brackets, which do have textual, non-mathematical uses) out of 15 is not half, but mathematical symbols are used in written English.
