They said that the City would be finished if the UK didnt join the Euro, it never happened and the city actually became more powerful.

Recreating a global financial centre like the the City isnt a matter of just moving to another location in Europe. If it were that easy the Eurozone would have done it years ago.

London has the infrastructure, contacts, mentality, depth of knowledge and experience that the other capitals in the EU cant match. And why would they want to, the city is happy to do business with them. Why would the EU want to wreck a European financial centre that provides them with so many benefits?
Sounds like the majority of society is against the kind of hate and violence these people cheer for, and companies don't want to be associated with it. Is this not capitalism working as intended?

If Visa won't let you fund your hate speech, then I guess go find someone who will. If no one is willing, maybe that says more about you than about them.

Russia's military capabilities are slowly atrophying because the GDP isn't enough to support the footprint. The economy creaks over the massive expenditure, while maintenance is deferred, readiness decreases, and programs and training are halfassed.

Economic capability is fundamental to your ability to field and maintain a military.

People reliably will come out to defend white nationalists in every topic it comes up here. And people denouncing white nationalists will be voted down.
Cool, I didn't know, but doesn't that imply it's a dark pattern? How many users know about this setting? Wouldn't it be better as Opt-In, and let the App Store prompt you when you set up your iPhone "do you want to opt in to interest based advertisin/etc"? When other companies do opt-out, they're usually heavily criticized.
Is there a real discernible difference between that and efforts on politics to label trump a rapist. Both are false allegations that haven’t been proven. At least this t_d post is very clearly fake/satire. While the stuff that gets up voted on /r/politics tries very hard to take itself seriously even as they push lies.
Didn't they also have a large data breach?
I strongly disagree. We should prefer to not divide the world if we can. The sentiment "If they can be bad, so can I" is not the recipe for a world I want to build. I believe the world would regress if we kept acting like that.
The suggestion is to use F=PA to measure the car weight, where P is the tire pressure, A is the area the tires in contact with the ground, and F is the unknown: the weight of the car (measured in terms of gravitational force).

I don't think this works. To see why, suppose we make the tires out of a very stiff material. We control the pressure P, but changing the pressure will not change the surface area A. Therefore, by changing P we can set F to whatever we want, which shows that we are not actually measuring the weight of the car. The basic issue here is that the air pressure is not the only thing that is supporting the car.

I don't know how important the stiffness effect is for real tires, but I suspect they are sufficiently stiff that it matters a lot.
D skips generating a high-level intermediate representation. (HIR) D has its own, mature version of Cranelift, the DMD backend, which generates fast codegen.

Furthermore, like Rust, D has a mature LLVM backend. When compiling D programs with DMD and LLVM in -O0, LLVM only took slightly longer.

You can have freedom of speech, just do it on your own platform if you want to say such nonsense. Makes sense to me that a mainstream commercial platform like Youtube with normal community guidelines wouldn't allow this stuff.

I mean, there's some de facto holocaust apologetics in there, some stuff about arabs being too low IQ to accept the US bringing democracy through invasion, some stuff about the 2008 financial crisis being caused by minorities having too low an IQ etc etc. It's all pretty sad. Not everyone deserves a platform with extremely-cheap infrastructure to reach hundreds of millions of people like on Youtube with a message like this, easily ban-worthy if you ask me.
How big are your DBs in terms of size?
I already explained that. Building an alternative to gab isn't hard. Building alternatives to visa is a bar beyond average people or group of them. I can spin up an instance of mastodon within few minutes. I can't do the same for visa. I can't do the same for google cloud, cloudflare or any of the other monoliths.

This isn't applicable to all the situations but it is one of the factor differentiating gab from visa.

Another is the reach. If gab has the same number of users as youtube, then they should have something to let the public have a choice in what happens on the platform. I don't know where to define the user scale though. it's a hard problem. At 1 billion? Maybe when 90% of the country uses it?
Kubernetes can’t change any database’s HA or durability features; there’s no magic k8s can apply to make a database that does e.g. asynchronous replication have the properties of one that does synchronous replication. So you’ll never gain any properties your underlying database is incapable of providing.

However, if I had to run Postgres as part of something I deployed on k8s AND for some reason couldn’t use my cloud provider’s built in solution (AWS RDS, Cloud SQL, etc.) I would probably go with using/writing a k8s operator. The big advantage of this route is that it gives you good framework for coordinating the operational changes you need to be able to handle to actually have failover and self-healing from a Postgres cluster, in a self-contained and testable part of your infrastructure.

When setting up a few Postgres nodes with your chosen HA configuration you’ll quickly run into a few problems you have to solve:

* I lose connectivity to an instance. Is it ever coming back? How do I signal that it’s dead and buried to the system so it knows to spin up a fresh replica in the cases where this cannot be automatically detected?

* How do I safely follow the process I need to when upgrading a component (Postgres, HAProxy, PGBouncer, etc.)? How do I test this procedure, in particular the not-so-happy paths (e.g. where a node decides to die while upgrading).

* How do I make sure whatever daemon that watches to figure out if I need to make some state change to the cluster (due to a failure or requested state change) can both be deployed in a HA manner AND doesn’t have to contend with multiple instances of itself issuing conflicting commands?

* How do I verify that my application can actually handle failover in the way that I expect? If I test this manually, how confident am I that it will continue to handle it gracefully when I next need it?

A k8s operator is a nice way to crystallize these kinds of state management issues on top of a consistent and easily observable state store (namely the k8s API’s etcd instance). They also provide a great way to run continuous integration tests that you can actually throw the situations you’re trying to prepare for at the implementation of the failover logic (and your application code) to actually give you some confidence that your HA setup deserves the name.

But again, I wouldn’t bite this off if you can use a managed service for the database. Pay someone else to handle that part, and focus on making your app actually not shit the bed if a failover of Postgres happens. The vast majority of applications I’ve worked on that were pointed at a HA instance would have (and in some cases did) broken down during a failover due to things like expecting durability but using asynchronous replication. You don’t get points for “one of the two things that needed to work to have let us avoid that incident worked”.
"Job creators" is also a good term.
Galileo had SST( a British company) building a lot of the components . OneWeb only has a official HQ in the U.K and is just an operator, I don't any development happens in the U.K and was largely done by Airbus.

This is the crux of it and why a lot of people logically follow the middle ground such as All Lives Matter and would do so more of it weren't so viciously attacked. As soon as you get into this messy game of "but they did that to this group" and "those others did that only after this group did that thing", etc you're in a spaghetti mess and there is no way of untangling it.

We're witnessing an entirely new oppressed class of people being created right before our eyes in slow motion. When we realize that as a society, we'll have added another layer of complexity and the cycle will be even more difficult to fix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

> Less well known [than other paradoxes Popper discusses] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Emphasis mine, obviously. For the most part, political extremists in America don't seem to be at the "fists and pistols" point—at least, they generally are not actively committing violence—but they have certainly denounced rational argument by their conduct and the rhetorical strategies they employ. A liberal society needs an active and healthy immune system to prevent pockets of radical illiberalism from growing unchecked.

I'm not necessarily in favor of punching "Nazis" in the face yet, if they haven't started the violence first, but Nazism is toxic and so is the inclination to treat all opinions as equally valid. Such opinions should certainly not be allowed by e.g. any responsible operator of a social media platform.
"You literally have to send a picture of your black skin to the mods of r/BlackPeopleTwitter in order to be added to the country club."

Is this really true? I quit Reddit years ago, even though some of the tech specific subs were awesome. Just couldn't stand supporting a site where the mods were so abusive. I remember the tipping point was a guy on there talking about "Foundational Black Americans", and essentially shitting on recent African immigrants as being second tier to black Americans descended from slaves. It was so vile, and they did nothing about it. He was bullying a second generation Nigerian American about her political beliefs. The mods told me it wasn't hateful to attack someone for their parent's national origin. Which is patently absurd.

The same guy also basically stated that any human who is descended from people who came to the US voluntarily is "white", no matter their ehnicity. It was shocking they allowed this kind of bullying. Ethno-nationalism is horrifying to me.

From your source "More than 82 percent of the value of all U.S. payments goes through ACH"

Note that it's value, and not number of transactions.

Personally, I have only 4 things pay out of my checking account.
Mortgage, HOA dues, and power are all bills that require checking account transactions for auto-payment to avoid credit card fees. These are very large transactions which will greatly skew any measurement by value.

The final thing paid out of my checking account is interesting: the credit card payment. Since any money I spend with my card necessarily is repaid from my checking account, that also greatly skews measurement by value.

If I spent 50% on housing, and spent all of the rest of my money on things with my credit card, then my personal ACH value percentage would be 66%. (1 unit house payment, 1 unit credit card transactions, 1 unit paying credit card bill)

This isn't even starting with business to business transactions. I'm unsure if the source is counting it in that metric, but it would further skew any value measurement. No factory is going to use credit card when buying $100,000 worth of parts from a supplier.

All those things considered, 82% seems about right, even if you assume something like 90% of consumer transactions use credit card.
> they are trying to "protect you"

They certainly are trying to protect you but I am not naive to think it's out of the kindness of their corporate heart. It's because that's what many people want right now. Apple tried to compete with Google and Facebook at their own game, predictably lost, so changed the rules of the game. Which was a brilliant strategy and if next year they change their stance I will happily reconsider my opinion.

And people don't have to know explicitly every feature and how it's achieved technically. The phone is now almost a commodity, like toothpaste. You buy one because that manufacturer built a trust. You probably buy Colgate, Sensodyne, or OralB (Crest). But not because you carefully analyzed their chemical composition, or pored through study after study. You just trust one, a friend or dentist recommended it, it just works for you, and so on.

That protection the phone affords you may not be immediately apparent but enough people start noticing eventually even if they don't understand the underlying technical part.

I find it odd people aren't bringing up the obvious motivation for this. Simply calling it racism seems obtuse.

Anywhere race is a topic and anyone can join, but there is no verification of identity, trolls can claim anything. How do you think it feels to be a Black member of a forum and see a White person who is taken in by a White troll pretending to be Black? Conversely, how do you think it feels to be Black and be arguing with someone White who is sure you are a White troll pretending to be Black?

It's not a trivial problem, and it's inherent anywhere your online identity isn't linked to your real one.
^This^ is the reason that I have watched a grand total of less than a dozen movies on a computer or phone, ever. The experience just flat sucks.
No, racism is a system of oppression. You have adopted a narrower and more convenient definition that is not shared by the majority of the people that study this subject and its history.

Equating people saying "whites can't dance" with the homicidal criminals engaging in the kind of brutality and dehumanization I described above is intellectual dishonesty, at best.

They mention customer support so many times in that article, but it's a grocery list app! When is the last time I asked for support for the sticky note attached to my refrigerator? I don't doubt that there are indeed customers who need support from time to time, but surely it's a small minority.

These seem to just be contrived arguments to protect their customer data selling bottom line.
I may not have made it clear enough, the Spectator was just an article I found equally flawed as TFA but from the opposite perspective. So basically I agree with the faults you found with that article.

We are absolutely seeing an uptick in cases. Compared to early April we are also testing a lot more, and I’m not sure that the average positivity rate across the US is higher now than it was, e.g. April 1, but at a local level there are definitely places where this is true. Certainly positivity rate has increased dramatically since, e.g. June 1 in many places. We don’t see a concomitant increase in death rates because most cases must be in the 20-30 yrs age range, probably due to that age range predominantly being the ones going out in large groups over the last month.

I think everyone is looking for the right balance of policies that minimizes overall suffering and loss of life. I’m not sure which European countries you would consider having locked down “early” rather than “late”. The decision to open economies at this point seems purely a political one and no longer based on objective facts like hospital capacity.

I think the simple fact is the US saw a surge over the last month because millions of young adults held truly massive rallies. If rallies subside or the population becomes substantially infected and then immune, case counts will fall rapidly. That age range is largely unaffected by SARS-CoV-2 and the US doesn’t have a large number of multi-generational households, so luckily I think the case counts amount to a lot of smoke with little fire.

I think he nixes your case at the start, when he goes through the sanity check thinking about the flat tire. Also, I think your rigid body case use the walls of the tires to apply force to the care, not the force from the pressure to keep the car static, which is why it fails.
It wasn't supposed to be a "gotcha" at all. Any reasonable person would have agreed that silence isn't an expression of complicity with white supremacy, or of sexual consent, or a love of progressive metal.

I used to be a compiler maintainer because I was the maintainer for a large scientific suite -- i.e. I was on both sides of the fence -- and I haven't really changed my opinion. The arrogance I've seen has mainly been from scientific users who lecture you about the code you've worked on and the language standard, neither of which they know. A classic case is ignoring the Fortran storage association rules (that happen to have some significance in GCC history).
Build a Hamilton Song Recommendation SMS Bot with Machine Learning
Sure, except there is no documentation for it. From the article:

"For example, Apple vaguely states that you can implement Sign in with Apple on Android, but there is no direct documentation on how to do it. We understand that Apple probably doesn’t care much for Android, but if they are going to provide a login system, and are going to force developers of multi-platform apps to adopt it, then providing no real support for a major platform that these multi-platform apps run on is not acceptable."
Not an Apple use but I had a question. If one signs up with Signin with Apple, how can that user move over his stuff to say an Android app? Or even Desktop app? (Or does the Apple ID keep track of all this anonymous id to app mapping?)
The quickest way to realize the contribution: Imagine the tire is made of steel so it does not deform when the air is let out. This would be terrible to drive on, but it would not require inflation even though it's hollow like a rubber tire. A rubber tire will usually not "go flat" even with the rims/wheel installed even without pressure (aside from atmospheric which is present when it's put on the rim). So some load is supported by the structure of the tire itself through the side walls. How much will vary with the tire.
