Sure but it's a way to integrate science and religion and ultimately science doesn't really have an way to answer 'why' for any of this. Even if there's not an actual answer it just happens to be that way and we're a happy little accident of the universe for a lot of people that's kind of unsatisfying. Even if they're wrong to people want to ascribe meaning to their lives, it's why philosophy and religion will probably never leave us.
True, true. I didn't think it that way.
I don’t believe Apple can dictate what ProtonMail is sending to its user via email.

Requiring no app generated notification has a clear line.

Requiring no email, which is a general mean of communication, has too big an implication. What about sending a text? Or a mail? Or to a secondary email?

I’m not a lawyer, but such a clause in contract would be deemed rather unjust, wouldn’t it?

It feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Dublin has long been a cultural center, since early Christianity, but modern Irish science benefits hugely from the tax incentive to move Pfizer there.

South Korea is the successful planned economy, like Singapore; on paper it's an open economy, and people are free to start businesses, but the top level is heavily coordinated between the government and megacorps. It was a military dictatorship for years while growing at over 5% a year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Chung-hee

Another side project i build in 2 evenings.

Maybe it's of use to someone.

Yes the links are referrals.

The page is very static, i basically generated the content(domains) and verified with some service if its available.

I could create some rest service so that the page has always updated data, but for now this will do.

I could also do it for other domain types or other patterns. (if you need something let me know)
They have that right regardless, they just have to declare themselves publishers.

Charles Darwins big idea was natural selection, the mechanism by which evolution happens. It was not a new idea that species had evolved over time from common ancestors (Larmarck is well known for example), but nobody had suggested a plausible mechanism for how it worked before Darwin and Wallace.
Product, scope - and especially money.

They have 5G products/patents early, they are a 'one stop shop' for everything on the roll out. Chinese companies are cheap and compliant. 'They just say yes' and do it.

Aside from the gov. collusion, the odd trade artifact is financing.

They're offering their services along with really cheap financing - basically, pay nothing now, pay later, with incredibly juicy terms from some large Chinese state-owned bank.

What major carrier wouldn't want to roll out 5G 'for free' and pay later! Very powerful esp. in developing nations.

So without getting into issues of state security - you have once again a real problem with trade asymmetry. Usually in trade negotiations, it's against the rules for the government to intervene in a sector because said government can subsidize the sector and 'dump' on local markets. China did this with Solar Equipment for example, mass subsidizing Chinese makers and running everyone else out of business.

The cheap loans are definitely a form of subsidy and it's a really sneaky problem.

Imagine if the White House had direct ownership over all the main banks - and total control over the Fed - and colluded strongly with Cisco. The WH could order Morgan Stanley to make massive loans, on the cheap, to Cisco's customers abroad, totally undercutting their competition. In this case Morgan Stanley can pull it of because the Fed in this case would also be directly controlled, so all of this would have guarantees.

So this is not how 'free markets' work and so we generally don't trade on these terms, because the 'central authority' entity can crush domestic competition otherwise.

It's rational for China to pursue this strategy, but it's blatantly out of step with trade deals, WTO etc. It's a 'divide and conquer' tactic, which leading nations have to stand up against.

So long as China is playing 'hard nationalism' with markets, then other nations have to respond with the same mode - 'hard economic nationalism' - otherwise, they risk getting seriously damaged. This is not a situation where we can play 'open and nice' while trying to get China to play along, it doesn't work that way.

It's like they have an extra 2 players on the field. You're going to lose - you have to put an extra 2 players on the field yourself, even if it's irrational and crams up the field a little bit for everyone. It's like a strategy game.

To be cynical and we should a little - this is part of China's vassalage strategy - and how to gain major leverage over nations and major industries of other countries. This is what is happening in the 'Belt and Road' initiative and already it's looking a little toxic in some places,
particularly poorer countries. [1]

There is quite a lot of IP in the generated programs so probably not possible to share sadly.

I wasn't aware of Csmith so thanks for highlighting. My C code doesn't really test many features of the compiler so I suspect mainly of interest in seeing just how the compiler handles a really large single file.

This sits wrong with me, but thinking about it: I rewrote the sentence about containers in my comment three times before posting it and it still doesn't sound compelling. Maybe you have a point here.

You can even set Safari to automatically go into reader mode for all websites (I do this, then whitelist the sites/webapps). 9 times out of 10 this is much more readable and is darkmode by default.
FYI, the details are very plain in the article. Enforcement falls clearly short of "plotting to overthrow the government":

In Marseille, a man who swore at a police officer who was about to hit a woman with his baton during a protest was himself beaten, held in pre-trial detention for 24 hours, convicted for contempt and fined €900. He also had to pay €1,000 in damages to the police officer, while no action has been taken against the police officers.

Protesters have been arrested and prosecuted simply for carrying goggles or masks to protect themselves from tear gas and rubber bullets.
Yeah, I think type instability is definitely the biggest culprit when someone's ported over some Python or Matlab code for the first time and isn't getting as much of a speedup as expected. It isn't hard to fix, you just have to know about it (and how to check for it with `@code_warntype`).

That and perhaps the excess unnecessary allocations from array indexing on the right hand side of an assignment, if you don't know about `view`s.
According to my company, this arrangement has - quote - "severe tax implications" not just for you, but also your company, so make sure they are onboard with the arrangement.

In the most basic terms, the problem is that some tax is withheld (i.e. paid to the tax agency by your employer in advance on your behalf), and that must be done in the appropriate country.
I was able to get a waiver to the 2 years home residency requirement. Since my position wasn't sponsored by my home country I went with the "NO OBJECTION" route. The US part of it went very smooth, it was my home country part that required to demonstrate, to my home country government, that they hadn't payed me to come to the US (lol). But other than that the process was easy and worked fine.
Anybody have any idea why this isn't enabled out o the box?
Yup, you're right. The real median personal income in the US, today is $35,977 -> https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

Unfortunately I'm having a hard time finding the median number of annual hours worked. But using the average hours worked, that puts the median worker at $20/hr.

Obviously not perfect unless we can get the median hours worked.

Also, like other commenters have said, I don't think anyone has ever claimed that the bulk of productivity gains will go equally to the minimum wage as the median wage, since the latter is usually pretty low leverage work in general.
For me, personally, part time work would be the dream. I used to contract and would do year long projects and then take large multi month breaks between. Neither "mode" was optimal. Work periods are obviously stressful and its hard to find free time. But the rest periods also got a bit old after a month or so, and even when we were traveling to cool places, I would find myself grabbing the laptop and coding just for fun and to keep my skills sharp. A part time scenario seems like the perfect in between.

However, I never saw a place where it could work. For one, if the rest of your team was full time and you were part time, you would automatically be less productive and useful than the rest of your peers.

With your Monday / Friday scenario with no meetings, it seems like the people that only worked Tue - Thur would have their schedule disproportionally filled with meetings, and have much less time to get stuff done. This could work for a manager type role, but it wouldn't work for an IC.

I feel like part time work, much like remote work, might require an all-in buy in from the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future companies go "all part time" and have their whole organization be tuned for part time productivity.
Consciously.
You might mean C# here instead of Java? I don't know of anything similar to Julia's multiple dispatch in Java land.
This is a tangent but is the meme about programmers being dependent on Stack Overflow really all that true? It's something I've heard about a lot -- I've been coding for fifteen years, professionally for seven, and certainly I have used Stack Overflow occasionally, but I go to the language documentation a lot more often, and honestly write a lot of code without looking at more than the source of the libraries I'm interacting with -- which are often proprietary so SO wouldn't be any help anyway -- or the standard library.

Who's on Stack Overflow all the time? I've never even made an account. I guess I referenced it more often when I was a younger programmer but never all that much..
I think it means when you store the state of the active REPL, allowing you to close it down and resume it later with the same context.

Much like a "save point" in video games.
Yea, I have trouble understanding how this is any different than how people purchase things in person. When you go to Best Buy and buy a TV they obviously aren't going to let the TV manufacturers advertise that you can buy the TV for cheaper directly from the manufacturer.

Obviously it's not a 1-1 comparison, but Apple is giving the apps a similar platform to sell their product.
That's not what Apple insisted, if you have IAP you can't have a button below that says "or buy direct 30% cheaper". It's either IAP or no mention of payments.
I never made this connection before, but given they use Mycelium Networks it makes complete sense.
The theory rsynnott is referring to is what you'll find if you google "colonial borders"

For example, some people have pointed out when European colonialists set borders, they were more concerned with natural resources and the opinions of competing colonial powers than with what the locals thought of the borders.

Some people go further, thinking in at least some instances colonial governments intentionally created the situations for internal strife, as doing so could make regions easier to control. Set the borders so that area is 75% Religion A, 25% Religion B then you can appoint powerful local deputies from Religion B. Your powerful deputies will never support a popular revolution, as it'd make them lose all their power.

Later the colonial power leaves, but the borders stay in the same place - along with a generous helping of resentment and fear between the groups - and the stage is set for internal strife, political blocs formed along ethnic lines, and so on.

And if European colonists produced messed up borders, why couldn't Ottoman colonists have caused the same effects?

That doesn't mean ethnic diversity causes the problem - but there are several elements that set the scene for problems, and ethnic voting blocs are an easily measured component, though not sufficient on their own.

Had similar problem with The Times in the UK, but it seems it's pretty common for newspapers.

The online subscription could only be cancelled by telephone, on a phone line with small and inconvenient windows of opportunity, with long waits. When you get through, you have the normal retention/upsell attempts, and then are told that it will take at least two months to process your cancellation, and that you will continue to be charged in the meantime.

It was easier to cancel my card, at which point they somehow managed to withdraw access as soon as the first billing failed.
> It seems awfully dangerous to think that we should pay people less because otherwise things would be expensive.

You're assuming that's why I was asking.
My guess is:

1) Because it is not a widely accepted POV, although there is overwhelming evidence for it.

2) Because Classic Islamic philosophy is often seen as mistaken by Scholastic philosophers (even if Scholastic philosophy would not exist without Averroism) and those philosophers are the precursors of modern philosophers.

3) Because Ancient Greeks are considered Western but Islamic caliphates are not.

4) Because the Crusades were associated with significant revisionism, including book burning of Arabic books, which makes it harder but not impossible to susbstantiate this POV.

5) Because some people (usually the far right people that listen to historically inaccurate podcasts and radio shows) believe that the West civilized the world and a POV that sounds opposite to that and credits their religious/ideological adversaries cause them to become very, very upset.
Here is Aristotle describing evolution through natural selection some 1300 years before that (in Physics book 2).

Their ad "platform", i mean the page where you go to buy an ad was a joke until very recently. broken images and stuff. a kid could do better.

Not that they need to change, i like the simplicty of their ads
It is extremely simple to do that. But you won't accept it. You would say the gas canister containing oxygen to be "unproved", or the ignition source to be "unproved to be so", or the camera to be "unproved to truly reflect the reality", or the container in which the gases are put in "unproved to be empty".

You do not really care about knowing, you care about being right. And there's nothing I can do for you on this regard.
Even if I see something interesting in an ad I won't click it. I much rather just google it and get info that way.
"Its for your own safety kiddo. Those stuff are dangerous and will harm your device"

When companies use the same logic of spreading fear to manipulate and ultimately control as the war on terror/war on drugs from Bush/Nixon, you know something is really wrong.
> It feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Lawsuits against Apple's App Store policy enforcement are already in progress, but Apple has the best lawyers money can buy, and rulings are years away.

If a substantial part of your business risked being terminated at the click of a button by some unelected person that you have never met, with no proper way to appeal such an unjust decision, you'd probably think twice about doing something that could be misconstrued as intentionally violating App Store Guidelines too.

I blame Apple for the lack of clarity both in their rules and their enforcement. I don't blame ProtonMail for trying to adhere to Apple's arbitrary rules that often make little sense.
Yes. I (US East Coast) work with Europe a lot and that difference (6 hours) feels to me about the limit of frequent ongoing realtime communications. It means you've got a nice window of time that isn't too early for the US or too late for Europe. More than that and someone's taking 5am calls or 10pm calls.
> Wages are a function of the scarcity of labor

This assumes an unconstrained "market" for the exchange of labor and wages, just as the claim that "prices are a function of the scarcity of goods" assumes an unconstrained "market" for the exchanges of goods and money.

But this is not the only model for economic exchanges of labor, goods and money. The Romans, for example, did not use market pricing, but instead were primarily a "cost-plus" economy (you paid the cost plus a known margin).

I know it is extremely hard when most of us have been embedded in a neoliberal, market-centric culture for our entire lives to think this far outside the box, but there really is no law of nature that says that what I pay you to do work for me must depend on how many other people could do the work.
So... Apple has a say in how or when a company communicates with its own customers inside of an app the company developed and customer chose to use simply because that app is running on an iPhone. This is asinine.

Depending on the conditions of your spouse's J-1 (if they were sponsored by the home country, etc) you may be able to get a waiver to the 2 year home residency requirement, see the "waiver" question here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/ex...

I successfully got a "no objection" waiver.
Yeah, as far as I could tell when shopping for exchange plans, they all mostly cover the same stuff, and once you pick the company and HMO/EPO/PPO the metal choice definitely doesn't change what's covered or the provider network.

At that point, different metals might hit the out of pocket max sooner, but I just went for the one with the least total of premiums and out of pocket max, which was also the one with the least total of premiums, so I save money if I don't use it or if we hit the cap.

I remember turning in a rather embarrassing paper in college because I wrote it from beginning to end on my computer, instead of writing the first draft longhand, as I had always done previously. (Okay, full disclosure: I wrote it through the night before the day it was due. But that wasn't anything I hadn't done before.)

I'm older than the "digital natives." I was born in 1967 and went back to college as an adult. This story I'm telling happened in the late '90s. But, in retrospect, I really felt my typing speed was faster than my thinking speed. Pencil-to-paper is a much slower process and seemed better suited to wrestling with complicated thoughts.

I would say I've since adapted and can write first drafts at the keyboard. (I'd say I adapted before I got out of college.) But longhand still seems more intimately connected to my brain.

Saying "everything is political" is putting everything up for grabs for state (or mob) control whether you said it aloud or not. Doesn't matter if it's a tyranny by some generalissimo or amorphous mob of twitter gibbering nitwits or tiki torch bearing numskulls.

If "everything is political" there is no room for private life, which is the only life that matters.
Hi Peter, if H1B holders who obtained work authorization in 2019 becomes full time student to pursue a MSc for 2 years, graduates in 2023, will that work authorization still be valid for them and allow them to seek employment in the US in 2023? Does it matter if the study happened in our outside of US? Thanks!

Right, but that contradicts the parent assertion that it's outright illegal. FWIW I'm not sure I buy that - there are way too many services and companies, large and small, that don't have this symmetry of subscription.

That contradicts with the article. The article states that the Muslim scholar theorized that god actively mutates the animals that want to adapt, i.e. god didn't just invent "the mechanism" of mutation, as you say.
Thanks! I'm trying that now as an experiment. :)
If you're essentially correct, then technically they're not "paranoid delusions", but from outside it can be hard to tell.
Funny. The other day I was wondering what ever happened to iot and all the hype. Then I realized that it is here and so ubiquitous that I stopped thinking about iot at all. Been in a Best Buy lately? Looked at Amazon's product line recently? There is WiFi and Bluetooth in almost everything now. And lots of people have dozens of devices in their homes from doorbells, scales, blood pressure monitors, speakers, coffee machines, door sensors, flood and freeze sensors and oh so many cameras. People love this stuff and it's not going away any time soon. If it was cheap enough, they'd put a screen on every last can of coke and show you personalized ads.
