It’s the same mechanism over and over. If I say something on a blog or newspaper like : “user Creato makes apps that make people dumber”

It is you who have to go on the defensive, especially if it gets spread far and wide, regardless if it is true or not. But the lie is out there and your truth has to catch up.

- WYSIWYG editors (confluence, google docs, word, etc.): never does what I want, pasting markdown or HTML always fails and at some point I get bugs with nested lists...

- MS exchange: forces you to use outlook and is buggy

- Linux: Bluetooth headsets stuck to 8bit (instead of 16bit) when using them with mic, external sound card not fully supported, encryption not coupled with user login (and using suspend to ram makes it useless)

- Windows: Backups suck (built in can silently fail, no user folder etc), pushing Edge hard, not unix

- macOS: the dock, can't switch between windows of the same app efficiently, hard on exotic keyboard layouts, bad font rendering on non-retina screens
Here's an article here for someone who cares about the context (which you carefully avoided):
https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-warns-coronavirus...

It wasn't about the demographic, but about the fact that their healthcare system would get overloaded, which impacts a lot of treatments for everybody else.

Also the problem with predictions of epidemic is that if you actually do a better job than expected at confinement / protection measures, then predictions are meaningless. You "could have" a lot of bad things happen, but once you do things right, they disappear. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have done those things, it just means that people have been warned properly. He said, if they get hit severely, impact would be much bigger than in the west. He didn't say the 10 million was a done deal.
If you assume the government to be lawful and of high morals, of course. On the other hand, if your country is run by literal Nazis, the idea doesn't sound so good anymore. I hope your ancestry is pure of whatever lineage the rulers of the next fascist empire will be.
Are any of your claims sourced? You linked to documents that either had nothing to do with your claims or directly refuted them. I, on the other hand, posted a CNET article that directly supported my PRISM claim.

I'll let you look this one up yourself. It might take you some time to find it, but by doing it yourself, you'll learn some things that will fix a few other conspiracy theories you might have that you haven't brought up yet. Look for "minimization" and "Section 702." Both will be good starting points.

I read the article, then was surprised to see that the comments here are focused to much on the clothing part of the story, rather than the investment and financing parts of the story.

They way VC is described in the story seems familiar to me from time spent working for Bay-area startups, and I think the critiques in the story apply in tech as well.
Long Time Street Fighter Producer Yoshinori Ono Quits Capcom
That really angers me, and I've tripped it more times than I can count, usually by searching for very specific things. Coworkers have also run into it multiple times (before everyone started working from home, we would exclaim "Fuck you, Google!" and raise a middle finger to the screen, which was a cue to everyone else to help).

The fact that they think you're "not human" when you use a search engine for its intended purpose and show how much you know how to use it is both disturbing and saddening. I wonder if Google's own employees run into it and/or the continuing degradation of results, or if they're somehow given immunity and a much better set of results...
Regardless of the number, there was no need to invade Japan.

It was already defeated, and offering to surrender, before the USSR joined the fight.

Totally surrounded/blockaded, no allies left in the world, bombed at will, what else could it do but accept defeat?
At least in the tech world, I have found this varies massively by location. Every single job I’ve had in San Francisco has been 99% Apple MacBooks in use by all eng employees and I’ve had to fight really hard to be allowed to use a PC. But I’ve also had plenty of eng jobs outside of the bay area and those tend to be on PCs with the occasional Mac user, often stereotypically a designer. It’s kind of astounding how completely different the world is when you get outside of the bay area bubble, and most of my tech friends in San Francisco don’t seem to understand that, and give me crap for preferring to use a PC.
What do you find so interesting and where do you shop? I like Uniqlo and Muji but now that Uniqlo is available (in-store) in Chicago theres no need to buy it in Japan. I’m not particularly into fashion but I like mainstream but trendy clothes.

I think Japanese fashion is less about the clothes themselves than the acceptance to let people wear what they want and and not judging. I think it’s more acceptable to match different colors and styles.

One strap shoulder Man-bags are all the rage. They are pretty practical, especially when you can’t fit your checkbook-sized wallet in tiny pockets. But in the US it looks like you’re wearing a fanny pack.

If you saw someone wearing an all yellow track suit it would look OK, partly because someone wearing an all green version is 20 feet away.

Or business slacks tapered and cropped above the ankle — in the US they’d ask, “is there a flood?”

While the clothes themselves don’t seem much different, I prefer slimmer cuts. The US is too baggy and loose.
more like on par with them.
It seems to me that after a few negated search terms are included, they are taken less strictly; "minus" seems to mean "probably minus".
I'm not sure there is evidence for or against. The argument I would make is not about censorship but preventing people from spreading lies. Even in the US where people hold free speech as some amazingly virtuous thing there are still curbs on speech, and what I'm saying is these limitations can be enforced in WhatsApp. Maybe you think that is censorship maybe you don't.

Also on that point, the freedom of speech in the US is strongly correlated with conspiracy theories, if only because 1) you can freely spread malicious lies and 2) it can be in a lot of people's interests to do so. I think it's always been in people's interest to spread lies, but I think recently in the very partisan climate in the US the media (and I'm including social media there) have happened upon the discovery that spreading this misinformation is actually very very good for business. It generates outrage in the opposite camp and keeps one side of the divide entertained.
Words which almost weren't heard at all because some parts of the Japanese military attempted to prevent the surrender from being published.
That doesn't really fix the total bandwidth capacity issue though.
The desire to own all the information to own the whole world.

And it's obvious that this is not "his" statement, but a statement from the mouth of a puppet who is absolutely dependent on spreading the agenda in order to maintain his status quo of an "independent billionaire"
The piece itself seems fine? It being a book announcement and introduction to an maybe underrated, less known artist.

The title might well be overblown, but there is also a good chance that it wasn't set by the author themselves.
Is it the nest thermostat, or is it the nest app?

If its the nest app, does it offer Facebook login?

If its the nest app and has the Facebook SDK, that's why.
That seems to mirror the trend for "cultural marxism", a term frequently used by the alt-right, so that trend chart may not show what you think it does.

It’s worth noting that many in Japan sincerely believed it was the best way to end to the war.

I’ve changed my opinion on this topic many times over the years. Today I think it’s just arrogant to say it was obviously wrong or obviously right. Reality is too complicated. Counterfactuals abound.

One dimension that people haven’t discussed in this thread, is that ending the war with atomic bombs and napalm prevented a bilateral invasion of Japan, which would have led to a Korea or Germany-like partitioning of postwar Japan.

Instead of a speedy recovery and track to self determination, there would have been 50 years of Cold War tensions, perhaps proxy wars.

But maybe not! It’s very complicated.
That's what came to mind for me as well. :)
> We have hundreds millions of people basically teleporting between continents every day

That's hyperbole. In 2019 there were 4.5 billion passengers boarding a flight[1]. Divide by 365 days and you get on the order of 10 million per day, most of which will not be intercontinental.

I don't disagree about the amount of air travel nowadays facilitating pandemics, just wanted to get the numbers straight.

I would not use this method for N95 masks with plastic exhalation valves due to potential melting of the latter.

That’s an over simplification. My job is owning part of an open source stack. There’s countless fun projects in that which aren’t a necessary part of my job but are fun to do out of hours and and still happen to contribute to my employer’s larger goals. Eg, refactor some subsystem to make it faster. Everyone wins, and because the source is open any future employers can see it also. Plus I enjoy working with my coworkers and learn a great deal from doing so: it’sa good environment for such projects.
Yes, but maybe the bombs would have had the same effect, if dropped on actual military targets (or even unhabitated land, but close enough to demonstrate the power) instead of an civilian city.

(a city with military production, sure sure, but they were choosen not because of military value, but because they were relatively undamaged, so the effect of the bombs could be studied. Concern for loss of japan civilian live was never an issue)
covid-19 has changed the ability to tell truth from lies in 90% of world's population for good, this one is for sure.
Same. I pretty much spend the whole day with our daughter between cleaning, preparing food, feeding, and playing. My wife had multiple consulting roles that required her to be on calls frequently. It's chaotic when both of us have conflicting meetings. I honestly don't know how other people are managing. My working hours are 11PM to 5AM every day for the last few months in addition to attempting to be responsive on Slack and attending required meetings during "normal" hours. Some days I'm only operating on 1-2 hours of sleep. It's not really sustainable or healthy.
Is there actually a page that says "too precise to be human" or are you just assuming this is what triggered the reCAPTCHA?

If there is such a page, can you give an example query that would trigger it?
Singapore is already supplied with energy from ships (natural gas). So energy density will determine how many ships would be required. Depending on conversion efficiency, we are talking 50-150x as many lipo ships as natural gas ships.

If Singapore only needed one natural gas very large super tanker, we would need to increase the global feet of super tankers by 7-20% just to ship electrical energy to Singapore.
You misunderstand - the belief is not that the US could have won the war even without the bombs, but that "bombs vs. invasion" was a false dichotomy, and that Japan would have unconditionally surrendered around the same time without the bombs, or perhaps even sooner had the conditional surrender they were already seeking been on the table.
But in that case you've already lost all freedom.

I've written an article for people who aren't developers, but are looking to pick up coding skills to apply to their domain.

It covers super practical stuff step-by-step, and links to the resources you need.

On the Europe side of the map, I find the same practicality in clothes when I shop from Finland. They too have all the brands one expects to see, but Finnish people (please any Finn comment/suggest) are super practical when it comes to clothing. Finns and Danes are my idols on simplicity, practicality and a hint of elegance.
> How is the US government better?

It isn't that much better, and I think most on this site would agree.
I assume the use high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission using coaxial cables. Then the electric and magnetic fields are confined between the inner and outer conductors. The outer conductor basically acts as a shield that prevents electrical fields to escape. The magnetic fields also cancel out each other.
This low power argument makes far more sense than the high-bandwidth cases normally thrown around, especially because a lot of iOT can be outside where the signals aren't blocked by walls or near a for purpose commercial antena. I can imagine some server based interactive gaming/UIs only if the rest of the backend also improves. Fast refresh VR could be another use-case, if they didn't get so heavy and hot for other (non data) reasons.
Not to mention that having 25cl of raki after lunch isn't really a sustainable day-to-day habit unless you are on the beach :)
Yup. This is currently developed in a feature branch.
I think, the general idea is to make this very accessible. But obviously, there will be a price to pay: buy this Matebook - no Wifi, but hey you can get this very sweet, data-limited 5G plan for only USD50 a month. Get an unlimited plan for USD300 a month. Or: buy this car, with superfast 5G V2V – oh, there's a USD1000 licenses included; well, nevermind. (and remember, some companies would have liked to use Wifi for V2V, which is freeish...)
"Based off" would be more correct.
As a workaround and under search tools one can enable the “verbatim” option.
TemplateHaskell and QuasiQuotes are very closely related. They're where that square bracket syntax comes from:

[whamlet|Hello World!|]

I would say that they're closer to the situation you're concerned about - they're very much like C++ templates, and equally controversial for exactly the same reasons. Still, I don't usually think of C++ templates, or Haskell ones, as being a different style per-se, just an advanced feature to use sparingly, mostly just when they'll save you from writing a bunch of boilerplate.

For completeness - Overloaded strings are the Haskell parallel to Python's b-string, f-string, u-string, etc. TypeFamilies are "let me write functions over types", which sounds like it would be dramatic enough to introduce a different coding style, but since it, like other extensions, needs to play nicely with the type inference, it doesn't conflict with other extensions, so things mostly just work as you'd expect. Since extensions generally work nicely together, most people just turn on "the usual" extensions for the whole project (all the more reason we need a new standard), and only add explicit pragmas in files to call out heavyweight things like TemplateHaskell. In tutorials you're more likely to see them all listed at the top, though, to be clear about what's being used.

High fashion sets the trends (and the 6 month cycle) that the fast fashion outlets follow. When talking about negative influence on society and the environment they're pretty inseparable.

I agree I could have made the distinction between high and fast fashion clearer in my comment though.

For the record, the handbag example is an extreme outlier and not at all illustrative of the how the industry actually functions (makes money).
You also have to consider the author is located in Switzerland, which has a much different construction style when compared to, say, California.

In order to actually lay wiring underneath a masonry wall, you need to rent/own a wall chaser, be aware of where existing cable runs are, and be prepared for a lot of work: prepare the room for dirty work (cover the floor and furniture, isolate the affected rooms from the rest of the house), do the actual cutting work, lay the conduit, re-plaster the entire run, re-paint it (sometimes re-paint the entire wall if you don't have a good color match), clean up. You're basically looking at an entire day of work if you're doing this solo, plus prep. And it's pretty much never doable in any rental.
I’m always slightly surprised by anecdotes like this from so long ago. When I tried using MacOS Classic speech recognition 20 years ago, it interpreted every command as “Tell me a joke” including the line the user was supposed to say to make the joke script continue.
> the data clearly shows the benefits of growing up in neighborhoods with high income earners, and the disadvantages of growing up in neighborhoods with low income earners

Of course being in a wealthy area is better than being in a poor area. But does the existence of such areas benefit society? What would it look like if more neighborhoods were mixed income and public resources were shared equitably?
Is this the quote you based your classification on? Seems like he is talking generally about the threat of a pandemic causing 10 million or more deaths. He also mentions Asia.

"This is a huge challenge, we’ve always known the potential for a naturally caused, or intentionally caused, pandemic is one if the few things that could disrupt health systems and economies and cause more than 10 million excess deaths.

This could be particularly if it spreads in areas like sub-Saharan Africa and some Asia, it could be very very dramatic.

We’re doing the constant science to provide the tools to do the diagnosis to provide vaccines, to provide therapeutics and hopefully contain this epidemic, but it’s potentially a very bad situation."

I recommend you read a bit of stasi:

Also Bill Gates wants full government control because he is practically within the circles of government, obviously he would benefit from such agreements, but same cannot be said for plebs.

Anyhow, even if people like Bill Gates might benefit from such undemocratic agreements, tide can always turn against them and this level of censorship and surveillance can be used against them even more effectively than that is currently used againsts plebeians.
On a slightly related note, fun tip. If you have a ‘dead’ laptop or mobile phone battery that’s too dead to even recharge.. I have ‘jumpstarted’ some by connecting to a li-ion cordless drill battery for a few minutes.

I’ve managed to get a few old mobile phones back to life using this method.

Remember, it took not one, but two atomic bombs dropped on cities for Japan to surrender. And even after that, there was an attempted coup to continue fighting the war: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident

There only existed two bombs at the time. Had the bombs been dropped as a show of force, it is very likely the US and Japan would have to suffer through a costly invasion anyway.

No, this has been the case for a long time, years anyway. I don't know if it goes back quite as far as when they removed the '+' operator tho.

But bejesus, this drives me nuts! If I know the double quotes function even exists, then Google should know I actually want to use it as intended - it shouldn't decide "yeah, but maybe you'd like these irrelevant results too!"
I can't imagine living in a country with chief executives as diverse as Donald Trump, Barack Obama, FDR, and Ronald Reagan, and still being naïve enough to think there's no problem with the government controlling communication.
