>This is absurd bordering on trolling. That isn't the "whole point of rights" (maybe this is what you believe, but that's an opinion, don't present it as a fact).

From the first line of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/):

"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world"

Note the word "inalienable".

Or if you don't like the UN, there's the US declaration of independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

The whole point of countries having a supreme court and constitution is to enforce the unconditionality of such rights.

Yes it's a political position held by some nowadays that human rights are just a legal fiction granted by the government or "society", but that's not how the nation's founders saw it.
I distinctly remember that Scientists researching Ebola ended up getting Ebola - and perhaps the same for Zika too. I also know many people who work in the field of Psychology whom have the condition they research to some degree.

I have zero idea how ethical any of it really is, but, it exists out there. It seems like something that should at least be declared in any research outcomes.
FYI, Intel Optane Memory is a wildly different product from the one under discussion, which is Optane DC Persistent Memory or Optane DCPMM. The former is a low-capacity consumer SSD caching software solution, and the latter is persistent memory modules in a DIMM form factor.
President Trump just issued condolences[1] to a Neo-Nazi who praised[2] the terrorist behind the Portland train stabbing of 3 people who confronted the attacker for racially abusing underage black girls[3].

Now is not the time to ignore race and hope people stop being racist without talking about it.

Stopping talking about race will not stop white supremacists from hating black people and talking about race is not why white supremacists started hating black people.

The thing about the Hong Kong annexation is that the same thing that threatens Americans' moral preferences is also bad for business; it doesn't actually matter why you value Hong Kong's legal sovereignty, because the stakes are the same.
Most of their feedback probably comes from their metrics. Things like sudden drop in the number of purchases, an unexpected increase in refinenment of certain queries, increased number of 500s, etc. In order to respond in scale you have to try to detect unusual patterns showing up in your data. That said, they do have some avenues to contacting them. There are feedback buttons in the knowledge panel and in the translations. There's an actual support in youtube (albeit it will take a while until you get to a real person) and so on. As it is, they are likely already getting more feedback than they can process on a daily basis. Bear in mind that not all feedback is useful. A big chunk of the work in any support hotline is wading through the mountain of useless feedback. I can only imagine how that'd be like at google's scale.

Note: by useless feedback I don't mean that the user is wrong because they don't understand the interface, when it's actually the interface that's not intuitive. I'm saying that people are often calling in trying to solve something completely out of your control. Just talk to anyone in support and they will tell you the craziest things that pop up. One example I've heard was a user who could not wrap around the idea that an app on the phone needs internet access to order food delivery. Something like that can easily take 30 minutes for a supporter to handle, for instance.
In India, we have something called 'Bhojnalaya' that comes close to your definition. The options are fixed for the day, the food is prepared in the kitchen and served right outside their house.

They do not, at least not yet. They may support anbox at some point, but that's not a given.

It never forced anyone to use it. C was forced into use by the popularity of unix. Java by its association with the browser at the time. Nobody would have used objective C if Mac OS X had been based on C++ (BeOS). Ruby would be a niche if it weren’t for rails. Javascript, obviously, is necessitated by the browser.
Identity politics does exist and is encouraged in Europe, it's just not based on "race" (in Europe, or at least in Germany, we prefer to day "ethnicity", as "race" has really bad connotations and is scientifically discarded as a concept).

But cultural identity politics have been going strong forever, going back probably at least to the 19th century idea of nation states. That's why minority languages often get special recognition etc.
Even if you can do a particular problem on a single machine, sometimes that isn't the right call. In a work scheduled cluster environment, a task that wants the entire machine may have trouble getting a slot unless it has the priority to preempt everything else going on on that machine. We call such VMs "picky" and they don't get scheduling guarantees.

I’d recommend ‘Money As Debt’ if you’re interested in this subject. It’s done as a cartoon but makes it really easy to understand why the world works like this and what the big problems are with it.

Namely that if money is created only when you lend it to people, but they have to pay back what you created + interest, there is never enough money to pay all debts back. So bankruptcy is built into the system. It’s like musical chairs. It has to happen.
So how will a drone attack me in my house? Mind you my house is not a hard target but is air conditioned, so I keep the doors and windows shut. How will a drone attack me in my car? I don’t have a great car, but I’m pretty sure it can outrun an off the shelf quadcopter. So assuming I’m safe in my home and in my car, I guess other opportunities exist to kill me, but you need to have an operator ready with a drone in proximity. It just doesn’t make sense.

Admittedly, drones with IEDs can be used as a terror device, to kill someone in a group of people, but as a targeted means of killing I can’t imagine it being better than a mortar or RPG.

> translations have a different (perceived) meaning

I think the problem you're running into is that you just aren't used to these words. I imagine people having the exact same complaints about a computer "mouse" actually reminding them of the animal or "paste" reminding them of glue, but once you get used to them they just become the terms for things.
Loaning money drives inflation; when a loan check is created, it spends just like cash, except the banks, behind the scene's, trade the loan checks so everyone has enough cash on hand to appear solvent.

Inflation drives interest rates; interest consists of the rate of inflation plus risk and margin, no bank is going to make a loan at less the rate of inflation. This self-regultes the rate of loans; the first people to take out loans gets them cheaper than late comers and have more favorable pricing.

Business loans drive companies to leverage capital by taking out loans using their business as collaterol in order to capture market share (and rarely, creating new markets or shrinking existing ones through technological change). If they do not do this, they will be driven out of business.

Net on net, because the markets are not expanding at pace with interest, prices rise. I like to think of this as the accumulation of cumulative interest; effectively when every business in a supply chain has to pass its labor and material through a bank loan, the end product becomes much more expensive than production cost.

Cumulative interest acts as a tax on the velocity of capital, and when that stagnates, business revenues drop and companies\people begin to play a game of musical chairs of solvency.

What this is supposed to do, in theory, is kill off rotten businesses and ownership, and provide a capital market to ensure the economy can continue expanding and when you have commonwealth companies; companies that pay majority profits to employee's and put employee welfare and interests first; this works because employee's invest in the company during downturns to reap profits in upturns.

In practice, in every downturn, wages stagnate because businesses shed labor and do not have to compete for labor during the upturn. Governments are motivated to assure labor shortages are solved because paying staff more because they demand it never improves profitability of a business and is always a serious detriment. Because wages stagnate and do not recover, the profits from upturns are captured by ownership and investorship.

This cycle, historically, is not new, and tends to repeat until the people become so impoverished they lose their concept of self repect and dignity and actually think burning things and killing people are effective means to solving their problems which tends to break down systems of government and force governemnts to devolve to basal forms such as tyrranies, dictatorships or autocracies out of necessity.

E.G. Many western countries have negative fertility rates despite being the most technologically advanced societies in recorded history, and the way governments are assuring labor shortages do not occur is through replacement-level immigration which further radicalizes politics (it provides people making arguments about genocide with a lot of convincing empricial evidence in favor of their argument).

From the article, it seems to be a graph detailing how much they pay with all exemptions applied. Which, according to the article itself, only about 4% are eligible. The article doesn't seem to state how much the partial exemptions make up of the final price either. Could be 1% of the exemption, could be 99%.

> For example, Europe's Statistical Office Eurostat says the average power price for industrial consumers in Germany was about 14 cents/kWh in 2017 – the highest in Europe. But the following graph also reveals that German companies with maximum exemptions would pay the lowest price in Europe (energy price component):

> Out of 46,400 industrial companies active in Germany, 96 percent paid the full surcharge in 2017, while only four percent benefitted from exemptions, according to the association. At the same time, 41 percent of electricity used by industry is partially exempt from the surcharge, while 43 percent is not exempt at all. The remaining 16 percent of the power originates from own generation facilities, part of which is also exempt. The utilities forecast that German industry will use a total of 246 TWh in 2019.

And I was actually talking what the customer is paying, because that is what is relevant to most people.
What you're missing here is in reality, your life experience, outcomes and how you are treated in society can be very much a consequence of your "identity".

All groups are advocating for is equality of treatment from institutions and from society at large.

Is that too much to ask?

Once we get to that place there's nothing more marginalised groups would love to do then to stop being defined by race.
Serious question: The people who are sensitive to the DST swap, do they avoid crossing into other time zones and sleep there, as that has the exact same effect on the clock.
Programming and English a natural match, no. Programming and a global language, or the global language as a natural match, maybe.

There's nothing super special within English itself that makes it particularly well suited for programming, but the fact that it's the global language of business, tourism, air travel, diplomacy, etc. makes a good case for it. English has far, far more non-native speakers than any other language.
It's not exactly a great year for extrapolating trends about what people are doing with their time. I wonder how much of this is 2020-specific and not just due to the natural cycle of AI winters.
> Ignoring this fact and doing things without political discussion is what we call authoritarianism.

This is a broad statement and makes me think of how readily people talk about "fascism" and "neo-nazis" nowadays with little regard to whether the people they're describing bear any relation to Mussolini or Hitler.

TLDR: gasbags oppose scientists brewing their own vaccines for specious reasons.

"A second misconception is the idea that this is research that could benefit others."

"Senior scientists benefit from many layers of privilege: investment in their education, expertise in specialized areas, and access to information or materials. Arguably, these privileges come with a responsibility to use expertise for the benefit of society. "

Seriously, while there may be good reasons this behavior is unethical or bad or whatever, the clowns who wrote this disjointed nonsense are apparently unable to discover them.
I really don't think that having yet another process to skip the code review is the way to make it easier to use. Besides, the tooling won't support opposite workflows so this will have to be hacked in somehow (typical git commit hooks that randomly block commits with no explanation unless they have a magic word in the message).

If their team is small (less than 5 developers), don't make code review a hard blocker, there's never anybody available to code review.
at least some is pure 2020. we want to hire, we can’t right now.

Yes when it became apparent that BTRFS was not ready RH did that. It was a slight surprise when it happened if I remember correctly.

I said RHEL v9 OR 10. I guess 9 is unlikely but 10 is a number of years off. If BTFS is a sucess on Fedora and stable then they will surely consider it. That is the point of Fedora...
> or by (in rare cases) delivering on highly visible and truly remarkable results for the company.

One example I know from the 80's: you're a director of a factory in some South-American country that produces something. It's making a loss of a few million dollars per year, and everyone at the parent company for which this factory is simply a small business unit thinks it will amount to nothing.

In two years, you've turned the situation around and are profitable with 1 million dollars per year.

The company promotes you to your next role and your successor shows how difficult your challenge was, as it's losing a few million dollars per year again.

The trick in this case: be competent, and become friends with the local South-American director, as upon arrival you realize that the company you're running is actually owned 50% by the company you work for. The other 50% is owned by some South-American company and the whole reason it loses money is because they cannot connect with the South-American director.

True story, can't disclose sources, but anyone who has seen the 80's might know similar stories.

That was then though.

Because that's how bottle return works in developed countries, which is a proxy for it being trivial to detect if a returned bottle is good.

Whereas the suggestions in this thread that I've been replying to are going to involve some combination of a massive ramp-up in customs inspections, as well as local recycling facilities where returned Li-ion batteries would need to be manually inspected. It just doesn't seem worth it.

Apple doesn't make any guarantees about it, but typically the _three_ most recent macOS versions receive security updates. Right now: 10.13, 10.14, and 10.15 (plus of course the 10.16 betas).

The real problem for many developers is that Xcode typically requires a fairly recent macOS version. Compiling for iOS is the one thing that developers absolutely _need_ a Mac for, so it's unfortunate that Xcode also forces you to be an early adopter on top of that.

The three standard deviations (or three-sigma) rule of thumb / guide relies upon a normal distribution to yield the 99.7%/0.3% probability tails. Humans are terrible at gut-feel statistics and probability due to a number of cognitive biases that seem nearly hardwired into us from birth, though. And exogenous factors can distort the normal distribution. This is just the normal landscape of highly complex interacting systems, but command-and-control style leadership's coping mechanism for simplifying complexity smooths out this information into lossiness.

A lot of what people ascribe to tail risk, upon closer examination that brings out the nuances instead of smoothing it away, are not three-sigma events. They're just three-sigma for the duration of now-typically very short job tenures. Of leadership.

What we have here, is a failure to communicate complexity.

Get some Royal Dutch Shell-like cross-disciplinary Long-Term Studies-like [1] groups going on globalization, and they'll probably eventually figure out that globalization will accelerate human encroachment upon habitats, in turn accelerating introducing novel bugs into our civilization. Up until recently in the span of homo sapiens history, while we've always encroached into habitats, and ran across new infectious agents, without quick global travel they would usually wipe out a locality and leave the modified habitats intact for nearby people to take over. So the diseases would usually wipe themselves out, and seemingly "retreat" back into the well they sprung from.

It should come as no surprise that we see increasing spread of infectious agents as globalization mechanizes the modification of habitats, and swiftly moves along the disease into the Amazonion flow of worldwide travel today. And we see an increased frequency of outbreaks of both old enemies and novel vectors.

It might not come as a surprise to Sagan fans [2] that a large fraction of the US population's reaction to these complex systems is superstition and irrationality.

In France, we have a tool called WinDev which isn't used very much outside of France. It is a proprietary abomination used to create graphical applications (and with sisters tools WebDev and WinDev mobile for web development and mobile development). It completely locks the programmers into their shitty very closed wall garden (for example, you're completely locked into using their own proprietary version control tool and absolutely cannot use an alternative).

Anyway, the coding in their applications is done with their very own proprietary shitty programming language: WLangage (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLangage). This language has the particularity of being available in three localizations: English, French and Chinese. And you can mix all three in the same codebase for some extra fun!

It's not very well known outside of France so it's not very surprising that this language isn't cited on the wikipedia page you linked.
