Beth Gibbons is not a name I usually see called out as a solo artist -- to be honest, until today I didn't know she had done any solo work, despite Portishead's Dummy being in my most played albums every year since software started keeping track of that kind of thing for me.

Thanks for causing me to Google that. Now I've got something "new" to listen to while I make breakfast.

Hmm I did not think of that. My rant was mostly about scams where you know it's a lie eg. a fake virus and then you proceed to convince someone they have to pay you money to fix this problem you made up.

But yeah I see your point about the need to make money too in this particular situation(what I'm talking about) it is a fast way to make a lot of money.
As an occasional CSS user, I second that. Every time I have had to use CSS for anything more complicated than diddling item appearance has led to a lot of time on Stack Overflow trying to find answers to questions like "why did my height change work on this element but not that element?" or "how can I center this text vertically in this space?".

I don't use CSS frequently enough to not forget these things by the next time I need it.

I'll still probably forget parts of Flexbox between the times I need to use CSS, but it will be things like forgetting like what spacing modes are available, which is easy to quickly look up.

Flexbox is now my turtle [1]. Well flexbox and grid.

Have you tested this with compiler frameworks like Svelte? Would this be compatible?
I think this is a culture problem in fornt end dev in general. Front end devs learn frameworks, not technologies. It's very much focused on getting started as quick as possible instead of taking the time to read and understand the tech they are working with. Even though, as your story shows, you can get things done quicker when you know what's going on.

The only European countries where costs are as high as the US for tech salaries are basically Switzerland and Norway. In the rest of Europe you have access to a very qualified workforce for less money. But they also have more protection than in the US (fewer unpaid hours, more holidays, no cheap dismissal…).

You might have a point if one of the reliable features of privatisations in the UK over the last few decades hadn't been a steady stream of ministers pushing through privatisation - often at significant public cost - and then parachuting straight into the board of the privatised company.

This is a bazillion times worse than cash in an envelope, because it's straightforward larceny of public resources, papered over with some thin PR nonsense about "efficiency".

This current government isn't even pretending to do anything else. There have been so many no-bid contracts for "PPE supply" handed out to cronies with no PPE experience - and no PPE delivered, while lethal shortages continue - that there are are now formal legal challenges working their way through the courts.
> unless they find a way to deal with this issue.

Cheap human labour from impoverished parts of Asia and Africa is one very possible option. The supply chains are already there.

I personally know a few people from villages in South India, who had been trained in that kinda job - dressing up in heat-controlled suits, driving sand-buggies and operating large-scale-wipers and cleaners - to keep panels clean. A similar one is in India too. And some of those firms put in place a locally adapted solution - which involves a lot of wastage of resources of other kinds (water, manpower).

I've only worked for larger-sized companies, but it's funny how pervasive this strategy is. When you're negotiating for something (a raise for instance) the conversation is always a personal affront to the individual responsible for approving the raise. but... when they're negotiating with you it's a holistic-embodiment of citizens united.

That's a radically misleading comment. It covers much more than layout, and the free content on the site is incredibly helpful and compelling. The full version more than justifies its price.

Is it unique? Didn't Gustl Mollath [0] also end up in a psychiatric facility and it started with him claiming that a bank was evading taxes? He was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility.

This resonates with me as an american.

I dont think there is any amount of money i could offer to safely escape a drunk driving ticket, however the ceo of my company was the head of the board for an security company, and we were forced to use their products despite an unimaginable amount of flaws.

The second the security company was sold we were allowed to drop every aspect of that company, 10 huge enterprise products, and the entire IT and Security organizations both agreed that throwing out the whole years roadmap and working to switch vendors as soon as possible was the best use of our time.

Thats a small example of pure and utter -yet legal- corruption. There is no world in which that vendor was the right choice for a single product let alone 10. Except the world where the CEO could make the productivity of one company fungible with the revenue of another.
> consider the length of time it took for the US SEC to catch up with Bernie Madoff

Because it's critical to force a negative example about the US into a negative story about Germany.

Psychologically this happens so frequently (read: in all cases) because it's a suffering relief valve, it actually makes people feel better and relieves their mental anguish, so they're quite compelled to do it. That relief is so effective it's very difficult for people to resist. It's why whataboutism is so extraordinarily popular in general.

Gravitational slingshots are a method were you accelerate and end up slowing down but I don't think it's fair to say that you "just accelerate to reach a lower orbit", since your acceleration ultimately ends up being either retrograde for very low fly-by orbits or on the normal/radial axis. Or possibly even prograde.

Basically, using a flyby to apply retrograde speed is not much more than accelerating prograde and then using the gravity of a planet to A) move your orbital position without a speed change and/or B) redirect your acceleration.
Have we been working on the same team? :P
The worst part (or best part of the joke) is that with a mathematical PhD you're very ill equiped for a discussion with your typical sales rep.
Yeah I agree with your conclusion. Instability in the present is due to western interest maintaining their dictatorships. Instability in the future will be as the western policies shift and they cut and run for whatever reasons. I’d like to think that will come when we realize the immorality of our policies but it will probably just be when our interests shift.

Maybe that’s why Israel is ramping up their annexations and colonization of the West Bank. If the west loses interest in the Middle East they may lose interest in maintaining Israeli geo-political supremacy.
I'd wager these are less cases of individual corruption than party-corruption aka horse-trading for influence and decisions.

A classic problem parties have is that they need to take care of their party militants and their families. This typically creates economic activities (insurance, banks, investment funds, charities, community organizations, ..) that are aligned on party lines.

These companies are part of the party infrastructure and are used as power-bases to influence the party as well.

It's called patronage and is rampant in western democracies.

No - it'll increase, actually, as regional leaders take more of a zero-sum view. View them as paramilitary proxies and it makes more sense to fund them in your neighbor than fight a well-organized neighbor.
In this case it looks like `T = Maybe T` is isomorphic to a coinductive natural number type, where `suc = just` and `zero = nothing`. You can see an example implementation of it in Agda: https://github.com/agda/agda-stdlib/blob/master/src/Codata/C...

As to what is the practical implications of a Conat class? You can use it pretty much anywhere you use natural numbers, except it gives you less guarantees as it can be infinite.

To be honest, looking at the code again, I cannot be sure if it's coinductive or inductive. i.e. I'm unsure if you can construct:

something : T
something = just something

which would be an infinite stream of `just`s.

If that's not possible, it'd be isomorphic to natural numbers we know.
The same way you punish other crimes.

Corruption is crime, not vaguely acceptable opportunism. It has very direct negative social, political, and economic consequences. The fact that someone is robbing people using a company and/or a political organisation instead of guns and knives isn't an excuse - especially not when the sums involved can be so large.
This is a bit off topic, to put it lightly, but seriously, please read your comment again and reconsider how you talk to and about people. It is clear you have supremacist disdain for the creator out of a self-generated sense of superiority, but reality is that it is something you can or cannot use, so just ignore it if you don't like it. Maybe, if you are so much better, you could even provide some mentorship or guidance by providing constructive, i.e., useful, criticism; if it is warranted. But try to maybe address why you are the way you are instead of trying to degrade others as you externalize your issues.

I believe you should be able to say what you said and it should not be removed or even lashed with downvotes by the archetypal rabid reddit type mob, but I hope you really consider your words.

Even if you are correct on the face of it being just another one of those horrible bootcamper, why would you want to lash at someone who is trying to do things, who maybe didn't have the opportunities you had, or is just trying to improve and get feedback. Not everyone is as perfect as you.

With that; let's see your framework that is perfect and far better than Shoelace.
That high testosterone levels are a poor predictor of aggressiveness but almost universally present in violent criminals doesn't tell us much.

That behavior affects hormones, again, is interesting but doesn't tell us much.

What we're really discussing here is whether significantly cutting off testosterone would reduce aggressive behavior over time. That the relationship between testosterone levels and aggression isn't perfect is a nuisance.

For example reducing testosterone would reduce bodily strength significantly. Would that reduce aggression? Perhaps. Reducing testosterone is sometimes shown to increase empathy. Could empathy help reduce aggression? Perhaps.
You could then argue that it's "not testosterone" and one should refrain from physical exercise and attend psychological empathy training to get the same effect. Logically it's a valid argument but practically speaking it misses the point.

The data we have from chemical castration of sex offenders is very solid. There are people criticizing it saying that something else is at play[0]. But nonetheless it's very effective in practice.

The data from animal experiments is strong too. There's definitely a profound change in behavior. Again, it's sometimes called into question over some oddly specific behaviors but it seems rather uninteresting to me.

In your later comment you mention some experiments from a long time ago on violent criminals but I have a hard time finding anything that isn't about sex offenders or animals. So I'd appreciate a link.

As far as theoretical arguments against it go, I'd say the strongest is that high levels are simply a proxy for some irreversible virilization that happened earlier in life. Which would much better explain why both criminal male and females are relatively high T.

Are they still doing the candidate thing? Adorable.
Much of the time, when companies say things, it's because they're not true, but they need you to believe they are. The things that are true don't need as much saying. The stated aspects of a company's culture are no exception. If they say their culture is one way, it's probably because it's distinctly not.
I've flown internationally a LOT. My only time ever being on a 747 was on BA, and it was really amazing being on a double-decker with the business lounge area. The 747 is truly a remarkable plane, and one of the most comfortable flights transatlantic flights I've ever been on. I'm sad to see it go. This follows on the heels of Delta here in the US retiring the Mad Dogs (MD88 & MD90) as well as their 777 fleet. Lots of shake-ups in the airline industry, I'm not sure that all of them are good.

There's broader context to all this. The central banks knew that their system would break down eventually due to inflation, and so one way to extend its life was to offshore manufacturing to make products cheaper and more affordable on a weaker dollar.

To keep everything from imploding on America, manufacturing had to be wrested from China at the same time the Federal Reserve was shut down.

I absolutely understand this point. It's the most frustrating thing about this decade of the web or, really, ever since browsers disabled popups.

However, I don't think this is a case against JavaScript as much as it is about poor web design practices. This is what happens when websites force feed visitors garbage to get clicks and when developers add things without regard to performance.

This is a nice summary for those who either don't have access to the FT coverage or are out of the loop:

When €2 Billion went missing at Wirecard:

https://finshots.in/archive/wirecard-accounting-scandal/
€61k before taxes isn't really a relatively average income in France. A junior engineer (with a Masters) starts around €35k ($40k) before-taxes. Country-wide median salary is €28k ($32k). But across all those salaries it doesn't change the fact that around 45~55% of the employer's cost isn't going to the employee.

And yes, taxes and cotisations are very high. On the other hand they cover most higher costs and risks in life (education, health, basic retirement…).
Other coronaviruses can infect the nervous system. In fact, there were papers out in 2018 describing neural infections by "human coronavirus".

Cytokine storms and their associated effects (like clotting ,etc.) are also present with other viral infections, like with the original Spanish Flu H1N1 strain (during the infamous "second wave").

"Regular" pneumonia can severely weaken you for months or a year, even if you have antibiotics.

This virus is absolutely not a magic virus. It is novel, but it is still a coronavirus.
I love 3B1B, but it's a little disingenuous to attribute small integer ratios being are consonant to our brains/taste because of the simple polyrhythms. Our brains never receive the waveforms in that way; the ear performs a mechanical fourier transform, first. Small integer ratios mean many harmonics overlap, so the frequency-space signal from the ears is also relatively simple. The simpler the picture in freq-space, the more consonant (not necessarily more beautiful or pleasant, but specifically consonant)

Unfortunately, that reality is a very poor setup for the math he wants to demonstrate -- he needs to imagine someone for whom all ratios are consonant to motivate the measure theory question. So I'm not sure music was the best road to the goal.
What rights did the employees have to give up for these severance packages?

Non-disparagement agreements for sure, but what else?
Wow, I didn't expect this to get such a huge thread.

Just wanted to add a few comments. Yes, I realized after I wrote it, the chief economist guy definitely didn't swim across the entire straits. He deliberately asked to be posted to Kimen or (maybe it was Quemoy), anyway they are very close to Xiamen on the mainland. Allegedly, he actually paddled by holding on floatation ballons or something.

My comment about only going so far in the U.S. has more to do with the executive and political leadership roles in the U.S. and not about compensation (which is far higher in SV, though I am not sure how comp works at top SWE roles in China). Very few Chinese top performers make it to senior executive roles in the U.S. much less, much less the big chairs (CEO, board, etc).

Also I was more talking about hardware talent then software. I think in terms of software the quality on the mainland is already quite good, at least in certain domains, but all the hardware comes from the U.S. if you think of NVIDIA or this semiconductor duke out, the weakness is hardware. So if you have "special hardware" talent you are feted like a debutante in China.

Anyway, as someone who has been around the block a couple of times on both sides of the Pacific, I see no happy ending to the current situation. I have said this multiple times in other threads, we used to think economic engagement will turn the Chinese system more liberal but I think what is really happening is that it is turning the American one more authoritarian and state driven. If we look at the policies of the Trump administration against China, it's basically the type of economic statecraft China uses herself. So great, if you are anti-Chinese that's rich irony, but I think ultimately, there will be no winner and the process of fighting China will make America become just like China.
