"Backward" has negative connotations here, in the west. But generally, the abbreviation "OBC" (Other Backward Castes) is used. From my personal observation, SC/ST/OBC folks are as caste-conscious as anyone else, but have successfully translated their caste identity into political power in India. In fact, it is fair to say that people from these categories (who comprise a numerically significant portion of the population) have a pretty good grip on power at every level of government, down from your local municipality ward up to the offices of the Prime Minister/President (do you know that the current Prime Minister of India is from a OBC)?

Generally, in polite conversation, no one ever talks about the other person's caste. A lot of the time, this is unnecessary, though. There are tons of caste signifiers, such as your last name, your skin tone, your language (both speakers can use the same language but the set of words used and usage/abusage can tell you a lot about the person's background. Like how you could tell a cockney from an upper-crust West Londoner.) Don't even get me started on food. If you are a "pure vegetarian", then it's a very good chance you are high-caste. With the professions also, things are changing a bit more quickly, but age-old divisions remain. You would be hard-pressed to find a Brahmin working a construction site (there's a good chance a Brahmin would be in an air-conditioned office drawing up the plans for said site); almost zero chance you'd see an upper-caste person going out fishing to sell the catch and make a living, and so on.

If you participate in a conversation with a group of Indians who have just met (at the workplace, say), just observe how they interact: they will put out direct or subtle questions like: "Where are you from originally?", "Where did you attend college?", "What do your parents do?", "Are you vegetarian or non-vegetarian?"... It just goes on and on. You can tell a lot about a person within 15 minutes of meeting him, if you have been raised in India.

EDIT: BTW, the terms "Scheduled Caste", "Scheduled Tribe" (perhaps even "Other Backward Classes") were introduced by the British! The British bureaucrats who ruled the country had an obsession with making tidy lists to categorise people (hence the "Schedule" in "Scheduled"!) and came up with the (original) lists of these castes and tribes!

But this is my point; biofuel makes a ton of sense for aviation. Biofuels would be used in cases where there is no realistic alternative, particularly with airplanes. It's more practical and likely to succeed in this domain than hydrogen, and isn't a total pipe dream like battery powered planes. In other domains, like grid power or automobiles, solar/wind/etc are the way to go (I never suggested we run power plants off biofuel!), but there is still a fuckton of coal and natural gas plants that need to be replaced. Trying to also replace jet fuel with synth fuel at the same time will only set back efforts to close coal and natural gas plants. If we already had a surplus of clean electrical energy then things would be different, but we don't. Every solar farm dedicated to the production of synth fuel is a solar farm that isn't replacing a coal plant.

I just don't see any way that synthesis of jet fuel from atmospheric carbon makes any sense for anybody but a nuclear Navy.
The financial activity is not generally corrupt, it is the act by the which the money is obtained that is corrupt.

The immense pressure of money laundering comes with a lot of consequences to the cost of transactions, the utilization of commercial banks as part of monetary policy, etc. This is one of the core reasons why bitcoin exists, to precisely avoid these kind of banking issues.

Moreover its over-sensationalized with the conflation between money and wealth. All the dollars stashed away in a cayman islands account is doing no harm to anyone: its depreciating as it is as a holding. Money has no effect unless its spent. And whatever is spent is just as good as regular consumption.
It's not even in the interest of government to get the money back: if a few trillion dollars were suddently released into circulation you would have inflation and would not be able to print money that gov is already spending.

Following the money to fight crime has been a ruse.
I said freer, not completely free.

And by free I mean the amount of people who currently use for example WhatsApp, which allows us to freely communicate with others. Even my mother is using it! Ten years ago she hadn’t touched any kind of tech.

Don't be sorry for the name. It's fine. If you called your compiler "Stanley Kubrick" someone would complain because it could be confused with the famous director. If you called it "BR549" someone would complain that it's not really HeeHaw. Because it requires little imagination, little effort, and provides an air of superiority, people are likely to complain about any name. Good luck.
One month is about right when you add it all up. Not fun.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have only found this to be an issues with version 12 and on. I have examples from version 9 & 11 that work as expected (both before and after video assistant was introduced). And I'm able to reproduce the issue with the video assistant turned off.

Of course, none of that is to say it's not related to the video assistant in some way. I just don't have evidence of that yet.

I think we agree and we understand the license.

I was trying to clarify the point that the GPL is binding for the licensee, not the copyright holder, since that seemed tonbe CursedUrn's doubt.

You are right that plain vanilla GPL (rightfully) places restrictions about what you can link to from your program.
Why are they being applauded for this? Having a perpetual license available for purchase at any time should be standard practice, not exceptional behaviour.
Maybe, but it's pretty common for people to keep up with former coworkers and happenings in the company, especially since he was an early employee with (I'm assuming) a fair amount of equity.

I could see an employee giving him that data out of concern, but that's a fair point.
wow! fascinating read...

"Bugorski understood the severity of what had happened, but continued working on the malfunctioning equipment, and initially opted not to tell anyone what had happened."

"The left half of Bugorski's face swelled up beyond recognition and, over the next several days, the skin started to peel, revealing the path that the proton beam (moving near the speed of light) had burned through parts of his face, his bone and the brain tissue underneath.[3] As it was believed that he had received far in excess of a fatal dose of radiation, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow where the doctors could observe his expected demise. However, Bugorski survived, completed his PhD, and continued working as a particle physicist.[4] There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity, but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly.[2] Bugorski completely lost hearing in the left ear, replaced by a form of tinnitus.[5] The left half of his face was paralyzed due to the destruction of nerves.[1] He was able to function well, excepting occasional complex partial seizures and rare tonic-clonic seizures."

$1 hearing aid costs about $20...... what?? Clickbait.
People are raided all the time for sharing illegal content, whether the act of sharing violates IP laws or the content itself is illegal.
The $2T focuses on "high-risk individuals from around the world, in some cases even after they had been placed under sanctions by the US government."

So this isn't new "they're not taking this seriously" allegations; it's a methods leak. As a aggressively-pro-transparency advocate, this seems like... a reasonable thing to keep secret, no?

Am I missing something? JP Morgan did the right thing; HSBC was _already known_ to be failing to stop fraudulent transfers; and there's no allegations of impropriety on the part of the government.

Seriously: what's the motivation behind the leak?
Many news outlets try to do this, but not all of them. There are some that strive to be fair and prioritize informing rather than inflaming their audience. The problem is that there is more money in the latter and many investors are greedy.
Quite, it's not that I'm against open source for FLOSS, there are a lot of hard working selfless people doing great work. It's the self righteous lecturing side of it that does so much damage to the movement and disrespects people.

Related to hearing problems there is also a thing called"Auditory processing disorder":

Individuals with APD usually have normal structure and function of the outer, middle, and inner ear (peripheral hearing). However, they cannot process the information they hear in the same way as others do, which leads to difficulties in recognizing and interpreting sounds, especially the sounds composing speech. It is thought that these difficulties arise from dysfunction in the central nervous system

I very much agree, but...

Joe Rogan's podcast is anti-science crap. That it moved to a walled garden, restricting access to it, I find that as being a gift to the world.

Applies equally to heroin. When are we legalising it?

Also not a lawyer but it appears the bar is that "(2) the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database objects, such as through use of the Timescale Data Definition Interfaces, in a Timescale Database utilized by such Value Added Products or Services."

For Timescale this may not be as relevant, but I do wonder how a license like this would be applicable to systems like Salesforce, which allows you to define a schema of custom fields, or for someone using an Entity-Attribute-Value type of schema. What is a database operation - is summing over a dimension a database operation? Where does data end and schema begin? These licenses are entering uncharted territory.
1000% Agree with everything said here.

Microsoft makes is stupid easy to use Azure, but that doesn't preclude how easy it is to use other hosting. It's like, you can have an iPhone and a windows laptop, but it doesn't integrate AS well as iPhone and a Mac.
That's because of the market lock-in and power of both companies, you can't use any of the Apple stack and Android without the Play Store is a commercial death sentence.
Would you feel the same way when we finally manage to get liability laws for security exploits, like we are now discussing in Germany?
> That is not a conclusion of intersectionality.

Could you explain more? Because it seems to me that's how it's used in practice. See for example the sympathy shown to Kashmir's fears of demographic change [1,2,3], and the condemnation as racist of the UK's same fears [4].

> the idea that group organizing is neutral or blandly positive

Again, depends on the group. For example, white privilege is seen as negative, but it's just white group solidarity.

I think that your use-case would be fine.

Most people don't seem to realize that the idea behind this kind of legalese is to prevent companies like amazon from offering something like "elastic timescaledb" which is mostly an operated timescale service, eating TimescaleDB's (the company) revenue stream. Or similar things happening in either Google cloud or Microsoft Azure.

I can't really blame for that.
I bought an Apple phone specifically because it's not open.

I think we should be allowed to have that as much as we're allowed to make a completely open and modular device. I like having the choice to have a locked down, simplistic device. The fewer openings, the better for me there.
Not sure about the first part...How is Python's approachable design "so limiting" to all those dimensions?

Nobody writes performance-critical code in pure python.

Not sure how "tooling" is bad, what would you say is limited there?

Package management, again, what package management problems are unique to Python? Many people say this but it seems the problems they bring up are not unique to pip or the python ecosystem, same problems are found with rubygems, npm, Maven, etc...

Maintainability is a responsibility of developers and not a programming language, and unmaintainable code can easily be written with any language. However I'd argue Python should score positive points for maintainability; one of the languages I feel most comfortable picking up old code from someone else and groking it easily.
I also wanted to find an open source project at the beginning, but it was not suitable.
I get what you’re saying, but in practice I’ve been using Python for a while, since 1.x, and I haven’t run into many of those potential issues. Some people have, obviously, and I wouldn’t discount them. I think the differentiator is that while Python isn’t great when you care about every scrap of performance, there are a huge number of problems where that isn’t a requirement. For instance, my employer’s web stack is built around Python and profilers show that we spend less than 5% of a request’s time running Python code. The other 95% is waiting for database queries and stuff like that. For us, Python is an excellent fit because it’s really good at the other parts of API server development and we’re nowhere near CPU bound. And turns out, a lot of websites have realized that they’re in the same boat.

I wouldn’t recommend pure Python (that is, without Numpy or Scipy) for machine learning, but it’s great in its own niches which are actually pretty enormous.
I had never even heard of Pandora. A quick check seems to suggest that they are America-only, Alexa rank 800, while Spotify is international, rank about 80. As a European I hope I am excused.

Yes, Pandora seems to be older. How intense the competition was when it started I have no clue. I'd say it was bleeding edge in either case, in those days broadband internet was not so widespread, not to mention mobile data.

You're not disagreeing with the conclusion, you're disagreeing with the premise. If someone accepts the premise then they should also accept the conclusion.

Personally, I agree with the Freedom House and the Economist hallmarks of democracy. Therefore, the conclusion is significant to me.

Is that due to the division taking place like the parent mentions, or something else?
That's a fascinating story, and I hope it bears fruit. It does seem quite sensationalist, though, so we'll have to see.

How big of a proportion do you think that 1.2 billion is when compared to total amount of taxes avoided? I'd be willing to bet less than 1%. The company that was center of the documents no longer exists... and ctrl+f this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_the_Panama_Papers it seems only one person from Venezuela was arrested (and his mom, but she was allowed to go home due to health reasons).

So it seems what I said is still correct... almost no repercussions for white collar crime across the globe. I'd bet it still occurs rampantly.
The other comment mentions computed Goto's. I have used those with big success when writing streaming parsers that work per-char (like a typical JSON or csv-parser). I can't remember exactly, but I think switching from a switch statement to computed gotos cut something like 10% from execution time due to better branch predictions in the CPU. That is pretty huge, considering it was a pretty small change to the char dispatch.
> How much could this reduce the total environmental food print of cattle? I.e. including all the energy used to grow the crops they eat, the deforestation to make room for the crops + cattle, the waste the cows produce.

Quite a bit. Most of the deforestation you are mentioning happens for monocrop cultivation, from which livestock consume (mostly) the leftovers. That's usually hidden in data by using total weight, but the reality is that 86% of the dry matter consumed by livestock are not edible by humans [1].

[1] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22119...

>All improvements are good, but I'd like to know if this is more than a distraction to make people feel better about continuing to demand products they know are damaging the environment (e.g. Amazon deforestation).

Both are compatible. You can be against the Amazon deforestation and pro-reduction of emissions of current cattle. Most of the beef consumed in the US (~90%) is raised in the US.

> Industrial farmed animals aren't eating grass, they're eating crops like soy. If you find soy milk and soy-based meat alternatives decent for example, consider eating those directly instead of products from soy-fed cows - it'll be vastly better for the environment with seaweed or not.

Ahhh... No, thanks. It will also be vastly worse for my health.

Sometimes there are advantages to centralized DNS. Wouldn't this make taking down botnets' c&c servers that much harder?

1. I could be wrong, but I do not consider Apple to have a "monopoly" here due to the quality and availability of Android devices.

That's lovely and all, but that has never existed? I don't understand how you would even accomplish this.

> I don't want to be taxed by entities worth trillions. Before they stood up the walls, I could reach all the people I wanted for free. Now they've turned us into poor serfs.

What does this even mean?! You could never reach "all the people" for free?

If you build an OS + hardware, how are you assuming apriori that you have users and also developers who write software that targets your platform? But anyway, the answer is no you should not be legally mandated in your case of boutique products.

The rules are different when free-markets fail, and one product or service dominates the entire market segment or exerts a large influence on the market (as determined by a legal authority).

The entire purpose of government is to serve our needs, if its no longer doing that we should amend laws/rules/policies as necessary. Everyone should be free to make an argument for their case.
For more than a few cases in the switch:

If the case values are dense (such as just the integers from 0 to 9), the compiler will turn it into a jump table.

If too sparse for jump table, then typically will be turned into a binary search tree.
Lets replace "Apple" in your response with AT&T. "You think you know better how to run a successful phone service than a company with the most successful one?". No, I don't exactly, but I have enough common sense to see that they are doing wrong.

And sure they have the most successful (and only) app store compared to the only other app store.

But yea fragmentation/choice is just awful and without a doubt will lead to a less rich experience... totally

Your reply comes off as very authoritarian and controlling. If you like the app store then you should have the choice to use it. What you are saying is that devs shouldn't have access to other options because you dont understand why they wouldn't use the perfect one already there.
