There is a condition called “perennial rhinitis”, which is basically caused by house dust mite allergy, and can cause many of these symptoms. Many people who have that benefit from using inhaled corticosteroids, like fluticasone 50mcg per puff, which are available without prescription in the United States. The starting dose is usually 2 puffs each nostril once daily, and people who find it helps usually find it takes at least one or two weeks of regular use before their symptoms improve or resolve, and if they stop taking it, their symptoms return in a few weeks. So it’s a treatment, not a cure! If it’s not available over the counter wherever you live, maybe discuss it with your doctor?
> ...but at some point people will realize again all the issues and limitations of that and go back to dynamic linking.

Except that for using third-party libraries and distributing apps or games, there is no reason to use dynamically linked libraries here and also in software distribution.

I guess if you talked to iOS / Android app developers who complained about dynamically linked third-party libraries that slowed app execution startup times, desktop app developers who wanted a single statically-linked executable that prevents their app being hijacked with a malicious dynamically linked library via LD_PRELOAD or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES or in general developers or users don't want to have to upgrade other dependencies using dynamically linked libraries to install your software, then I guess one can say it would be better to use static binaries here.

Who's to say that a hacker can simply modify a .dll, .dylib or .so in your game and enable developer cheats to ruin it. The authors point on LD_PRELOAD alongside with 'security benefits' is nothing more than outdated and has now been intellectually bankrupted.
that's about a class tourist though

This means the competition will have to stomach a loss per electric car sale until they catch up to Tesla’s price advantage or not be cost competitive. According to the author Tesla was 3-4 years ahead, with a growing gap given the battery day announcement (5+ years?).

This can already be seen when looking at existing competition. VW’s ID4 compact SUV will cost $40k pre-subsidy when introduced next year, vs Tesla’s model Y at the same price.

VW itself isn’t a luxury brand, unlike Tesla, and wouldn’t normally be compared. The audis, BMWs etc would likely produce a more expensive car. The most comparable luxury brand cars are Porsche’s taycan which starts at $100k vs Tesla’s model S at ~$75k, polestar (Volvos electric brand), Jaguar I-pace, Audi etron etc which are all substantially more expensive while typically delivering less range and a worse software experience (which i’d say is the new panel gap).

All in all this looks to me very much like the smart phone transition when apple and Samsung/google took over the market. Maybe 1-2 of the old guard will survive, with everyone else ending in the slaughterhouse.
The people paying to put the building up like to name things because it's part of their branding (so, a security company building a head office may call that office "shield house"), or because they're trying to tie their development into local history to appeal to planning officers (so, this building is near a bus terminal, and it's on terminus street), or because the person paying the money wants to leave a bit of legacy.
I sort of agree with that. I have some quibbles with what's taught in high school (e.g. surely basic statistics/probability would be more useful for most people than some of the math that is taught). But MBA capital budgeting and accounting classes aren't really needed. Maybe a penny saved is a penny earned could be updated to a penny saved is a penny earned plus compound interest. But the common problem is, as you say, people spending more money than they have because they want to--as aided by installment plans and the like. (And a lot of people just having genuinely little money.)
Out of interest, how did this happen without any investigation into possible consequences etc?

It’s a huge change that surely warranted special attention before making it happen?
Because most people get very little utility out of having a SUV. Why do they buy SUVs? So they can sit higher and look down upon the peasants. Then it's a race who can sit higher [0][1].

> What current is epidemics is this person fabulating about? COVID ?

Hmmm ... I wonder ... what could it be ...

And i mean, admit the article is not just about Aztecks, but also about groups dominated by them.
In NYC, most of the housing projects have names like "the donovan houses" or "clairmont estates." It might not be super common like in britain but we do have it here.
Of course not. But humans tend to follow the least action principle, and if it's easier to escape a problem, they will. At some point, trying to force them stay in place en masse will become authoritarian.
> What's wrong with housing the poor in cheap isolated areas?

The thrust of the article is that no one should really be living in those places.

Living in an isolated area is fine if you have access to transportation.

The implication of the article is that there isn't adequate public transportation and the people don't have cars.

Basically, if you house someone in a place that sets them up for failure, how grateful can you really expect them to be?

> If they're not working, they don't need to be occupying more valuable locations near town.

The lady in the article said she couldn't work because she spent half her day getting her kids to / from school. That is different from being unwilling to work.

Maybe the residents are unwilling to work, but maybe it's a matter of them being too far away from jobs to realistically get one.

> Where's the exploitation?

The implication of the article is that the exploitation is by the property developers who converted the office space into something that qualified for government housing money, but wasn't really suitable for people to live in.
> Worth noting that there wasn't some big price reduction happening from solid appliances 20 years ago to crappy ones today. Price remained roughly fixed, but appliances started to suck more and more.

First, the "solid appliances" weren't 20 years ago, but more like 25-30.

And though there wasn't a big price reduction in the interim:

- Refrigerators are more energy efficient.

- Refrigerators have larger internal volume for a given size.

Equivalent improvements have been made to other appliance types such as washers and dryers, but not stoves, as far as I know.

Those improvements are largely orthogonal to declining design and build quality, but it should be noted that there are at least some ways in which newer appliances have been getting better (that aren't just gimmicky features) while prices remained the same.
Fair enough if you put it like that.
We are talking about things like fire safety and crime.

A friend of mine is renovating his place in Scotland and the planning process demanded that a bedroom must have a window to be avaliable as a fire escape and the kitchen must be isolated with a fire door.

Now there appear to be apartments without windows at all, with narrow corridors, clogged with bycycles. It sounds like Grenfell Tower N2 coming right up - half the people inside won't make it out alive.
One major disease atleast did jump to Europeans from the new world: Syphilis.
Develop critical thinking. For example, examining a news article. Why is it news? Who is reporting it? What is the intent of their reporting? Etc.

Develop inquisitiveness. Related to critical thinking. Always be asking 'why?'.

Develop grace, encompassing manners, humility, self-control, compassion, etc.

Learn how to interact with government and institutions. For example, how do you even hire a lawyer? When should you?

Personal finance, as others mention, but I see a great many false prophets in that area. IMHO there doesn't seem to be any proven method. One rule I follow is 'never borrow to consume', though that may depend on how enlightened the society you live in is. Everyone needs to eat after all.

For practical skills,

Cooking. It may become obsolete in future, but being able to cook a basic meal is useful and satisfying.

Gardening, basic farming. Again, eating a lettuce you grew yourself is quite satisfying.

If you didn't get a standard western upbringing, then all the basics; learn to swim, ride a bike, tie a shoelace and a necktie, basic knots, basic music/play an instrument, host a party, basic painting/drawing, sportsmanship, read, write, at least, algebra, etc.
I was also thinking of Canada, France, and Brazil. But nobody9999 is right, for the most part it's not a right in the world.
This, again, proves that as an educated society we need to decisively counter the for-profit lies of influential corporations. There is a fundamental problem that may cost us severely in the not too distant future.

Fossil fuel companies have paid large sums to lie about the effects of their products on climate change, just like tobacco companies have directly killed innumerous people by lying about the negative health impact of cigarettes for decades. Nowadays, the evidence that these companies collaborated on misleading the public is openly accessible but back in the 70s or 80s YOU were the enemy for trying to warn about health dangers. Climate is the same now, propaganda has done its work for a long time.

And again, the same cancerous people jump on the bandwagon of an increasingly aware public and try to profit off the new movement by ways of green-washing and other pseudo-helpful bullshit.

These are significant problems where short-term profit motivation is more influential than long-term sustainability and "positive" development of society. Our only hope is the few people in human society who are motivated enough to study, learn, read and act for the greater good.

That's kind of hingey if you ask me.
I’m glad they’re doing this. We need all the altruism we can get in the world.

Though I do hope they know they’re joining a very old club, not starting a new one.
Using actual timbers in a place like Canada should be the norm. Many of the biggest trees are left after a clearcut because they're just too big. When everything around them is cut they tend to die quicker (due to exposure). If they do get cut and milled, they often get processed into dimensional lumber (2x4s) instead of being used as timber.

A better example for a typed function would be something like:

function Request(string method, string url, RequestOptions options) : Result {...}

or

Result Request(string method, string url, RequestOptions options) {...}

Here, we know `url` is a string (rather than the parsed object), we know all the supported options (they're members of the RequestOptions object/enum), and every value in the return value. Some might suggest even making `method` an enumeration.

If the function name was better, you could call that function right now without needing any more information.

Also, especially if you're a fan of defensive programming, most of the basic argument checking is performed at compile time, leaving the function body cleaner.

Based on your example alone, perhaps you don't have enough experience with typed languages to appreciate the benefits. I don't mean that in a belittling way, but more of an invitation to learn more about the craft.
Yes. But for all personal data the purposes for which it may be used is limited: generally[0] only the original reason for collecting the data or the legal basis for keeping the data dictate the uses. So anything kept for use in filing taxes or other bookkeeping obligations must only be used for those purposes.

[0] it is possible to use data for other purposes than originally collected in some circumstances, but I'm not sure if there are many legal precedents for that yet.
Note the opening five words:

"Advertising is a marketing communication..."

Your tone is unnecessary and off-target. The above quote from line one is exactly what I said.

You don't just wake up, roll out of bed, and advertise. Well, you can but waste a ton of money. In any case, that message needs to be crafted. That's marketing. Advertising is how you disseminate that "plan."

Logo - marketing, not advertising.

Style guide - marketing, not advertising.

Positioning of the brand - marketing, not advertising.

And so on.

Marketing is the plan. How you wish take and place your brand / product to market. Advertising is the communication of that to thd market. Advertising is what happens when the meeting ends and its time to engage the market.

Marketing = what we have to say and who we wish to say it to.

Advertising = Got it. Let's see what tools we have to best make that happen.

No dreams. That is how it happens.

Nobody is being crucified. Nobody said they can't solve it at the source. They seem to want to solve it, at least outwardly. You're forgetting that only this forum seems to have the capability of reach, to reach those who are empowered to fix the problem.

If it was just a problem for this one person, well that would be a real anomaly. But adding a filter rule to always block is ignoring the problem, in the context of my work-life analogy, not fixing it.

It's really funny... there are big cultural "differences" everyone knows -- like driving of right vs. left side, or whether once you walk in a building and up a flight of stairs, you're on the first floor or the second floor.

But then another one is that in some countries, every building is legally required to have a name... and in others it's not.

I'm from the US where the idea of giving a "name" to an average building seems bizarre -- it makes as much sense as giving a name to your sofa or to your mailbox. The building has an address, so what does it need a name for? (Unless it's a famous landmark or corporate skyscraper or something.)

But then I moved to Brazil and son of a gun, every building (even small apartment buildings) has a name, the same way a corporation is legally required to have a name. I still don't quite understand the reason. But it's similarly "common sense" there of course it has a name, it's a building! I suppose in the same way it's common sense that roads have names too, or something.

Just another one of these entirely arbitrary yet funny cultural differences.
Oh sure, it doesn't change the law. My point was rather, that the law should distinguish how people come into the country.
The focus on effective altruism (e.g. quantitative optimization of QALYs) is fairly novel and not very similar to religious tithing or other historical donation behaviors.

In fact, very sincerely, giving charitable donations to ineffective causes like religious organizations, youth sports, “the arts”, is actively harmful, because of the opportunity cost of omitting the same donation to more effective charities.

For example each dollar donated to local youth soccer is exactly one dollar’s worth of malaria net protection or waterborne parasite protection denied to people around the world. Zero hyperbole.

It’s especially bad for something like youth sports where there is virtually zero potential for a dollar invested in it today to create returns that more than offset the competing opportunity of spending the same dollar today on e.g. malaria nets.

There’s just no effect of marginal sports donation, for example like helping a kid develop who then goes to college and invents some humanitarian technology or something. The chained probabilities and risks just render that sort of donation as pure waste in today’s terms.

It would quite literally be better to put that money into economic purchases rather than donations instead of wasting it on subjectively preferred charities.
My first thought is leveraging an electric fence like a trip line. The line has to be cut or tripped for something or someone to get in. I’d be very surprised if you can’t find a remote voltage monitor that can tell you real time if the fence lacked adequate charge. Heck, you could run a wire from the fence to an accessible location to manually check the wire with a fence tester and it its light goes red, you know the fence is down.

I'm not sure why you're arguing with me. I didn't claim that atoms are conscious, nor did I claim or imply that the consciousness of a complex organism emerges from the consciousness of its sub-atomic components. If consciousness is gradual – and I believe it is – then it's possible that insects are not conscious, and simple consciousness only starts at the complexity of, e.g., a reptile's brain, or somewhere along the development of a fetus.

To be clear, when I say "closer to a sub-atomic particle's consciousness", I mean "not conscious at all". Hmm, I admit, that sentence could be misunderstood. Sorry, that was my fault.

Most people here are not familiar with laws in Thailand and should not assume that every country has exactly same laws.

I’m not taking a side here on purpose, because certain laws would apply to me then.

a) yahoo article is biased and incomplete. Don’t take it as the truth.

b) if a official report (complaint) was filed at police station then the person who complaint was about must appear at that station so they can make their own statement into same journal.

c) since company is on an island it’s normal across the world that jurisdiction of that location applies.

If other articles are to be believed (posted by others here already), the company had sufficient reason to proceed as they did. https://mothership.sg/2020/09/sea-view-resort-defamation-law...

It’s not likely that the guy will go to jail. Most cases are arbitrated before they go to actual trial.

However if the foreigner were found to be in violation of the law he most likely won’t receive the maximum punishment.

A lot depends also how he reacts at court. Could go with a slap on the wrist or much worse.

Completely unrelated to this case but relevant
- some companies do go overboard with defamation lawsuits but it’s quite rare actually. Lots of Thai people and foreigners write negative reviews and nothing happens at all

- it’s not unheard of foreigners to go ballistic due to language and cultural difference. However also Thai customers do happen to sometimes get overboard and cause problems unnecessary

- The situation is really dire on islands. I went to another this weekend and most resorts and restaurants/ pubs had shut down for good. The remaining open ones aren’t operating profitably as there is are less than 10% of regular domestic and foreign tourists there.

- Lots of visitors have also less money to spend. Salaries have been reduced and many people lost jobs. Tourism sector was hit the hardest.

- There is currently no way for foreign tourists to enter Thailand. But we do see Thai and foreign people traveling within the country. Not so many but also not none.

I really invite everyone to get familiar with laws in Thailand and with all the details of the situation before taking sides.
These different sources are classified as Scope 1 2 and 3:

- Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
- Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy.
- Scope 3 emissions are all indirect emissions (not included in
scope 2) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream
emissions.

So grain purchased and shipped to the animals is measured under Scope 3. Powering the lights and machinery on the farm is Scope 2.

It's tricky and inexact to do GHG accounting, but the same methodology and emissions factors are used everywhere so at least it's comparable between companies and products.

We technical people should really start to understand that we're not the average use. Not even close.

I'd have no problem in mutilating Windows enough to make it usable, and keeping an eye for when it tries to do something nasty.

But the average user won't, and will have a computing experience filled with unnecessary advertising, encumbered by background processing and bandwitdh usage (telemetry collection and other windows background stuff that are not end-user activities).

It's just awful.
