In Finnish as well: juottaa is formed from the verb juoda, ”to drink”, but interestingly it is just a case of a general grammatical construction that allows one to turn any verb from ”to do something” to ”to make/have one to do something”. You can even apply it recursively to verbs thus formed, so, for example, juotattaa would mean ”to have someone else feed someone/something liquid”! In principle the grammar allows arbitrarily long constructions, but in practice double applications are already rare although perfectly understandable.

You said "competitive".

You must understand that in Europe, using such language in good company is considered rather rude, or at the very least, irresponsible.

Europe is the place where there are still strongly held belief that proper centralized planning will beat market forces every time.

The fact that this mental model doesn't fit reality is considered a minor detail, it's just that the plan needs a little bit of refinement.
Adp said we lost 2.8 million. The government number is saying something else. We have had close 2 millions jobs lost per week for a while. For context 2 million jobs in a week would be highest number ever in the history of the US, and we have been doing that for a while.
The 741 is obsolete... almost nobody uses it anymore. In terms of a jellybean opamp, I would guess that the LM358 and friends (LM321, LM324, and modernized rail-to-rail CMOS descendants) are quite a bit more popular.

The bipolar LM358 family is also pretty much obsolete by modern standards (plenty of nicer rail-to-rail amps available), but you can't beat them on price since they've been second sourced by practically every analog company in the industry.

I almost never have to work late. But historically I've found myself doing it anyway, either due to poor personal time management, or being really excited about solving a problem, or just because I didn't feel like my brain was working properly during the morning. I've worked pretty hard to adjust my schedule to something I consider more stable and sustainable, but I know I'm not alone in functioning this way.

I'm sure having kids is a powerful incentive to adjust more rapidly and more completely.
Those systems and any other functioning and innovative system will be by definition built bottom-up and not top-down which the EU will never figure out and always actively discourage.
So, I've read a linked article and it's a bit more specific than "Americans don't like continental philosophy".

First of all, I think there are a lot of issues with how the term "postmodernist" is applied. One should always distinguish valid applications such as Postmodernist Architecture, which is a very distinctive movement that does push forward certain concepts that existed in the Modernist architecture (you can look up the Bateson building and the philosophy behind it).
Postmodernism in contemporary art is a much weaker application, in a sense that to kind of put every post-war artist(or post 70's) under this moniker doesn't really achieve much.

The article discusses something which came to prominence not so long ago, the inclusion of the radical ideas in the mainstream left-wing discourse in States. I don't want to touch the identity/gender politics part here, but the death of meta-narrative the author attributes to Lyotard is an interesting part.

What her main problem is if I understood that correctly - there are a number of ideas and symbols, which are close to the heart of "liberal democrat", and there is a certain metanarrative that she holds as true. And that is being attacked by relativists and deconstructionists.
What are those symbols - Equality, Freedom, Science, Reason. And the metanarrative is the Path of Progress, move from the darkness to the light of civilization.

Yet all of these symbols are quite problematic. Freedom often means free market and representative democracy and in extreme cases neoliberal worldview. Civilization served as the main excuse for subjugating the natives. Language of science was deployed to effectively introduce questionable government social policies by using "objective", "approved by experts" approach.
Most of the slaves were sold in the Age of Enlightenment yet in the "bad" Dark Ages and Middle ages slavery was almost non-existent in the western world.

My issue with her worldview is that she sincerely believes that good things that happened during Modern age - progress of sciences and bad things - Belgian Congo, for example, are not the inverse side of the same coin but are totally unrelated.

James Watt research into steam was funded by slavery, not in a metaphorical sense but literally - his research was funded by plantation owners, and he himself had profited from slave trade.

I suggest it's frequently less about knowing which corners to cut, and more about knowing hard from easy, to avoid future impedance mismatches between eng & sales/marketing (or even internal business leadership).

One of the very most frustrating things for an exec is downtime. The next worst is inaccurate time estimates for IT work. If you don't have at least some experienced architects/developers, it's normal to find yourself in the position where nobody knows what they don't know, and that's a bad look for everyone involved. It's also why a lot of bigco's have been outsourcing internal appdev to MSPs over the last 10+ years. It de-risks projects, eliminates skilled labor shortages, and ensures reasonable QoS... in theory. It doesn't always work out that way, but that's the objective.
My initial experience with Paper when it came out wasn't super positive.

I actually like Signal, and would use it a lot more, but don't because of one feature - link previews.

That depends, there are multiple considerations:

One is access for "everyone". Many don't need that.

The other is access to a large enough labour pool.

That said, the easiest way for government to use government departments for district development policies, is to simply move them.

E.g. this is where the Norwegian equivalent of Companies House plus assorted similar registries is located:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Br%C3%B8nn%C3%B8ysundregis...

If you zoom out you'll notice there are no major cities nearby.The nearest major city - Trondheim - is ~6h-7h drive South. It's smaller than Nottingham.

Norway has "just" relocated government departments out of Oslo as an intentional policy for decades, and it takes effort but it generally works quite well.

Transport policy then follows depending on how this changes transport patterns, rather than lead.

As someone living in London, I wish the government would stop spending money on transport to/in central London, and instead would invest elsewhere, such as the Leeds-Sheffield-Manchester triangle, and expanding the region around Birmingham to create better counterweights to London.

And to the extent any investment is done in the Greater London region that it gets limited to better connecting the circle of towns on the outer rim of London.

A bit self serving, as I live in Croydon, but one of my pet examples is that Croydon, Guildford, Woking and towns in between are all within easy commuting distance by train and there's track between them, but there's either no direct trains or nothing suitable. Committing to a commuter time-table between groups of towns in that situation for enough years to allow companies to risk opting for these towns instead of the centre of London would do far more to alleviate London of commuter traffic than the same amount spent on line upgrades.

But all of the upgrades in London just draw in more traffic until things are just as bad again, but even more expensive to fix.
I disagree. I know someone who approached a company and said "I will work as a free intern for 3 months. If you want me to simply get coffee I will. It will be the best coffee you have ever had." 3 months later he had a full time offer and is now doing very well. Working for free indefinitely is bad advice, but offering a "freemium" model is rather savvy.

I don't think it depicts (conveys, draws from?) a specific stereotype. It's just self-disparaging humour.

There's an opposite self-stereotype, captured by the phrase "Polak potrafi" (a Pole can do it), which actually emphasizes resourcefulness as a national trait. Although it's often tainted with irony, or at least implies that the creativity employed isn't really by the books, etc.
> CPUs as turing complete, programmable machine are a strict superset of what brains can do

In what way can this be proven?

It's very tempting in an era of tech-centered growth to think of computers as the solution to everything, but we are barely even beginning to understand the brain. We know computers fairly well and can talk about them, but how can we make such a claim when we don't know the other thing we're talking about?

In fact, the brain created the computer, didn't it? Therefore, from that standpoint it is arguable that the brain is a superset of the computer. It's not something I really believe in (because my opinion is that you can't really equate things that are of entirely different units, one of which being unknown), but just a "devil's advocate".
As far as I understand, the prevailing opinion is that the brain is a physical object and that its operation does not involve currently-unknown laws of physics (because we have a good understanding of what happens at the scale of an entire atom or above).

A Turing machine can run a simulation based on such physical laws to any desired level of precision (which is enough, because as mentioned in TFA, processes in the brain aren't individually very precise). This is true because of the nature of these laws, which are mostly just asking you to integrate differential equations. If you accept this, then it should follow that a Turing machine can in fact simulate a brain: just run a physics sim on a brain's initial state.

(I do realize that this is far outside the realm of what's doable today, but it seems to provide a solid justification for why it's conceptually possible).
In this case, the loss is very one-sided, most people/countries benefit from this.
It's because we hire "software engineers" but we actually want them to be "business hackers", but lie to customers and regulators about the quality and integrity of the product.
Then we mock them for trying to do the job they were hired for.
The fact that pogrammers bias toward rule following (the computer doesn't react well to people bluffing) is part of the conflict.

AT&T prohibits commonly used passwords, which includes a lot of curse words.
I'm not telling you specifically who, obviously, but we have 3 clients that order a post from us about once a month for at least $1,000. The posts typically are:

- 2000 to 2500 words
- FAST (48 hour) turnaround
- ready to be published without more than a simple read through
- voice consistent with other posts that we may not have written for them
- well cited or referenced

The clients are
- b2b environment selling into the enterprise
- companies that generate b/w 10M and 100M in business
- tech companies that have a disproportionally small digital marketing team thus the need to outsource.

Example, in early March we wrote a series of 3 blogs posts about security challenges for transforming your organization to WFH. $2500 for a total of ~6000 words, ordered Monday morning and delivered Wednesday night.

> In $current_company, I was surprised that none of the basics were there. All agree to do these things, but with the slightest bit of pressure those principles are gone

This is the normal. I think I have never be in a project with the "proper" stuff from the start.

I have applied what I can, not even asking (because the answer will be "no?"), so the fact that:

> All agree to do these things..

You are set! that is the key!. Now, how do this successfully?

Pick only 1 thing to solve (like I say, almost daily, to Stakeholder of the projects "One problem(or miracle!) at time").

The first is "use source control" OR "use a task manager/bug tracker".

For a project with more non-developers, the second will be MORE useful.

The key is use the most simple thing you can get. I use pivotal, ignore it for all the SCRUM stuff, and only use it to list the task to be done, task doing and done, and train everyone with this ONLY rule "Put what is more important from top to bottom".

That is literary, the only process that I use with others. With non-developers, I not even try to expect them to label correctly bugs vs features, and most of time I rewrite the task myself (for clarity).

But man, people, specially non devs, love to see the progress of the project! This relieve so much presure is insane.

So the key:

* Pick only 1 thing to improve at time

* Use the more simple tool/process possible

For example, use git, only 2 branches (master, dev)

* Accept some imperfect inputs from people that are not skilled in the trade

"My users will never reporte correctly a bug, so I rewrite the reports after talk to them"

And for others "the devs never put a good message in commit", then

* Pick only 1 thing to improve at time

if are in the phase of "at least using git!" not sweat it. Maybe gently remming them

And probably:

* Have a mega list of good things to do in the task manager, and cross milestones with the team. Celebrate when done!

Because in capitalism, someone will commodify everything?

> Where does the funding for the antifa actions come from?

It's unclear what you mean by "antifa actions".

If you mean protests, they're not funded at all. People who are anti-fascist attend these demonstrations because they feel personally compelled to speak out about racist injustice.

If you mean things like bail funds, organizations working on racial justice and other causes attractive to anti-fascists... we donate to them, at least those of us who have the means.
That depends on what institution is moving. Some just need a good link to Manchester, and so will be more willing to move. Some need to get everywhere and will wait. It depends on what the pros and cons of each city are.

As to if enough will move given any particular link, that is a hard question requiring complex studies and so cannot be answered.

“programmable machine are a strict superset of what brains can do”

As others already replied, that’s a statement that isn’t universally accepted to be true.

As an example, there’s consciousness. People disagree about whether it exists, whether it’s (fully) ‘in’ the brain, and on whether computers could in theory be conscious.

There are people who answer those questions with yes, yes, and no, and, since we don’t even have a good idea about what consciousness is, one cannot reliably argue that they are wrong (also not that they are right, of course)

It's not an organization. The literal only feature and requirement of "antifa" is being anti-fascist.
From consumer perspective - yes, that'd probably bring in more customers who're currently using free tier. But on the other hand a plenty of customers will switch over from more expensive subscription to a cheaper one. They may win some but they'll lose some too and it's hard from outside to say what would be the final numbers.

Humans are interesting because we're one of the few semi-social animals. If you're tribe/village is whipped out, you'll die soon too. But just because your group flourishes doesn't mean your genes will even be passed on (like they would in an ant colony). So we have all these behaviours (like empathy and cooperation) but they're finely balanced and complex (unlike an ant that will die for the colony without hesitation). The lack of top down control and the requirement for cooperation means communication abilities are vital and have to be complex and suddenly you have a brain that needs to simulate other brains (empathy) and consciousness is born.
Back in the day, I needed less than their minimum tier offered, and sent support an e-mail, because I heard they would give you an exception if you asked.

They were able to give me a cheaper plan with a smaller capacity. A little later, my storage tier was less than the amount they were offering for free, and they stopped billing me.

I don't know if they're still willing to do that, but that gesture earned a lot of goodwill from me.

The OP is Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, a China reporter that's likely on the CCP shitlist. Most likely there are actions specifically targeting her account that she's conflating with general policy. Also she could... just be embellishing. As someone who follows the space, her reporting is occasionally very questionable. But my money is her account was being monitored there's a trigger to ban if she takes account changing actions. This way CCP can slowly weed out foreign reporters instead of blanket ban.
This is still a feature. It's actually "Copy dropbox link" but it's very much still there. Here's a screenshot of the feature I'm sharing with the feature itself: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2wju3uzvz2jont/context%20menu.png...
The default state is that statistics bureaus can be trusted to report mostly correct numbers even if they spin them (e.g. report employment vs unemployment according to what's better).

So if someone says "they are fake numbers" they should be ready to corroborate that with evidence, it's not on the people who believe the institutions to prove that they are correct.

Much of the power given to the President here seems to be from legislation itself or lack of legislation altogether.
