"How concerned are you about child sex trafficking?"

...How is this an exclusive right wing concern?

Wouldn't any notion of child sex trafficking by nature require a conspiracy or are we pretending this doesn't exist at alarming levels?
The prep juice tastes so nasty but you are right about feeling refreshed. After the colonoscopy I had intense cravings for a cheeseburger and milkshake, but let me tell you that was a mistake! It gave me the worst acid reflux. Keep in mind your insides are virgin again after the prep juice. It causes you to shed the lining of your stomach, I'll be smarter next time.

Indeed. Or even native speakers speaking our native language. A fond memory of mine is having to translate a Glaswegian colleague when we were on business in Kentucky. By which I mean I basically just repeated what he said in my "standard" English accent for the benefit of a couple of locals we were talking to, because their reaction when he first said something was along the lines of "Hell, I didn't understand a word he just said!"

> Constance Garnett, who is fairly well regarded

I don't agree with this, mostly. Garnett's level of Russian competence was solidly journeyman level work. In the original Russian, Chekhov is much more vibrant and colorful than Garnett's dickensian translation. At best, passable.

That said, she did the world a huge service. It was her work largely that brought Chekhov to the attention of the english-speaking world, but their are better options now. Check out Pevear and Volokhonsky, I find them much closer to the soul of Chekhov's writing.

Even with the source issue being the same the installation process on mac os is just extremely far ahead. While on Windows you have to give any simple tool root privileges (?!?!?!?!) for installation, with many mac apps you just drag the file into your "Applications" folder and that's it.

Reading some blog spam and learning about 'Box Breathing' really helped me. Apparently it's used by Navy Seals, but it really helps me get to sleep if I can't. Or in stressful or sudden situations, it really helps clear your head.

Just a simple breathe in, hold, exhale, hold. Taking 4 slow seconds for each step.

I was very, very skeptic of breathing techniques and meditation. However after learning this technique things kind of 'clicked' and meditation started to make sense, and see why it's thrown around so much.
Some AZs have five data centers, though I’m not sure that up-to-date numbers are published. A DC and a single AZ are definitely not equatable in this regard.
I've had the idea floating around my head for a while that instead of banning the payment, they should tax them.
If you start putting a 500% levy on any business paying a ransom the whole concept becomes a lot less profitable because assuming attackers are not settling for 5x less than what they think businesses would really pay, they'll have to slash the ransoms.
And the government gets a nice funding pot to try and fight them.
There's a ton that I agree with, but Taleb is not quite entirely right that Catholic (and other Christian) theology hasn't changed. The biggest change in the direction of tolerance might be the general abandonment of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersessionism, the doctrine that the covenant between God and the people of Israel had been superceded by Jesus.

You can still maintain the overall point, by arguing that prevailing attitudes drove the theology rather than the other way around. Supercessionism became drastically less popular after seeing the 20th century consequences of anti-semitism, moreso than pure reflection on scripture or anything like that.
The words subset and superset do not imply any temporal relationship that somebody could get wrong.

Well "not touching it at all" would've been great but I've had my main machine on Windows for about 2-3 years out of the last 14, so I don't think that's so rare.

Since 2013 I didn't even have a job anyone with a Windows machine /could have done/, because the stuff simply doesn't run or compile. (Yeah, WSL and all, the box was too slow to compile stuff natively already).
An availability zone isn't equivalent to a data center, as it might consist of multiple data centers. A better explanation for availability zone would be "a bunch of data centers in close physical proximity, exposed to users as a single logical entity".

Or as AWS explains it [1]:

> An Availability Zone (AZ) is one or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity in an AWS Region. AZ’s give customers the ability to operate production applications and databases that are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than would be possible from a single data center.

First of all, no you can't simply locate them by paying money to some all-knowing crypto god. And even if you could, the US would order a drone-strike on some apartment building in Moscow?
The edit? No. Why would it be a typo? You assume everyone's first language is English, right?

So, it really depends on your search engine. Using 3 different ones, assuming my English spelling is less than stellar, only looking at the first page:

"Prolog Web framework"

Duck Duck Go/ Bing/ Google: all prolog

"Prologe Web framework"

Duck Duck Go: 5th hit is Prolog based

Bing: 7th hit is prolog

Google: first hit prolog

So yeah - there is a possibility of confusion.

> If someone told me about that “C programming language” I could easily transliterate that as “sea” or misremember it as “B”.

If you knew nothing about programming and technology. I counter that if someone told be about "Prologue" I would assume "Prolog". I wonder why "Nim" would come in to it? I don't know about you, but I don't go around saying "I wrote apps in MFC in C++ in the 90's", or "I write ASP.Net applications in C#". I think the framework stands alone, surely? The language is an implementation detail, and I guess Prologue might one day be ported to another platform if it is really all that good?

The issue is that your position is people something like - should be intelligent enough to know what is meant by a phrase. My position is that you are massively underestimating the issue with the words basically looking and sounding the same. Your attempt at a counter is a weak argument about how people might dramatically misremember facts anyway.

I think I looked at your history, and this is not the first time you got in to a debate like this, so I'm out... it's a bad name - the creator should probably rethink it or prefix "Nim" to make it unique, but whatever.
The key here is that you will not be able to use ‘security insurance’ money to pay for ransom. What is happening now is that companies are saying: we do not need backup, let’s just have security insurance (and some minimal backup so that insurance is valid).
Looks like you're right, but unfortunately the select is cut for me[0] because my screen is not big enough.

Since the list is not alphabetically ordered (it actually is, but with the English names, not the displayed names) and it shows no scrollbar, it wasn't obvious there would be other countries up there.

As for language, maybe Google itself chose to send me to the Dutch version. Despite all my attempts, I still cannot consistently get Google to use the language I want (apart from manually choosing it by directly visiting Google with the right hl= first, indeed). Right now Google.fr seems to be in English and offering me the three languages of Belgium, for some reason.

Really afaik the only thing missing from working well with mainline WSL2 now is some UI apps using GL,etc for X11 and iirc that is being worked so no need for any WSL3. Considering i've mostly used win envs to begin with this is already good enough that i see very few reasons to ever bother with installing Linux for myself again and even those are dwindling quickly.

Wouldn't feel too bad about not completely understanding every layouting feature. Many essentially introduce their own logic. Other than the box model there may not be that much commonality between them.

My best advice is to just always go to MDN for documentation, it tends to be pretty comprehensive. And once you remember most of the possible properties and values you might not exactly always get it right the first time but you should know what to try next. Having a decent workflow where you can experiment quickly helps too.

I look at other sites' markups a lot and it's pretty rare to see a site that doesn't have a ton of useless css/styles. So quite frankly I'd question how many people truly have a great understanding of it.
If there were a list of things you need to know before talking about religion, this might be the #1 fact: it's almost never true that you can understand the religion just by looking at the scriptures. At least, it's true of the religions I know things about (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, in that order, with exponential decay in my knowledge as you go down the list...).

The funny thing is that Taleb is making something of the same point, but still makes that mistake when it comes time to talk about theology.
Thank you for question. If risk is high, why not just take Tier 3 offer? It's not free, but server is yours. $0 is only for small companies.

> she does an excellent job translating the tone and meaning

I really can't agree with this. Her translation work was journeyman level at best. I've read most of her translations, and they simply do not convey the magical soul of Chekhov's prose very well. Nothing is going to replace reading it in the original language, but Pevear and Volokhonsky get far closer in my opinion. Constance Garnet's translations still stick around largely because they are now free.
One angle of this case which is often missed is the impact on browsers. If Google is forbidden from paying browser vendors for being the default search engine, bye bye, Firefox.

A significant part of Mozilla's revenue comes from their deal with Google. I don't think a project as big as a browser could survive without that revenue.

If Google wins, Google has a search monopoly. If Google loses, they will have a slightly smaller search monopoly and a browser monopoly.
a financial model is a document that you spend weeks creating, which is then ignored in the countless pitches you will do in front of VCs, possibly shared with other companies they already invested in.
I had one a few years back and it was amazingly painful. Nonetheless I would choose it over getting knocked out.

This may sound like a strange sentiment, but years ago I broke a bone on a weekend and they put my arm in a sling at the emergency room. I got to see a doctor on monday and he said - you have to move your arm. "Move it every day, otherwise you will lose your range of motion. Let pain be your guide".

Completely different advice than I expected (I expected to keep it immobilized as much as possible until fully healed)

So I wonder if I was knocked out - would they damage something while they're looking around without my hints?
> Have you spent any time at all in a developing country?

literally been living abroad since the early 90ies most of it in either very poor or developing countries.

> They're so high on hope and change it's inspiring.

I have seen this attitude also in Japan which isn't "developing".

If one generalizes we can say all of Asia (the "Tiger" nations) have been "high" on hope. Most of the attitude of locals during a decade in Asia which I experienced was very forward-looking and upbeat. Returning back to Europe was incredibly depressing since everyone was complaining (even they had everything)

IMO it's about perceived wealth because I saw the same in Europe (Croatia and Poland have very cheerful people compared to the South of France which is full of rich French and Brits and everyone is complaining).

When I spent time in Poland between 2005-2010 there was a running joke about "Poland can't even manage to do the financial crisis properly" (7% growth iirc so Poland would be a "depressive Slavic country" where everyone is upbeat. ofc don't ask the Polish because they joke about being the only country where people are even more complaining than Brits. But if you come from France, Germany, Belgium or other very West EU countries where the attitude is hostile towards new technologies and ideas in general then Poland is refreshingly upbeat).

agree with you about a lot of this is attitude and a shared sense of trust among citizens in their systems. if we take Japan again, that same shared trust ("yes-saying", never question your elderly or superior, or blind trust in authority) is what has led to Fukushima disaster. There is huge value in moaning and being critical about all things that promise an easy fix.

That could incentivize government to do exactly nothing about ransomware and kind of legitimize it.
There's more at play.

1) our train length is limited - see the parallel comment. UIC limits our trains to 750m top, we don't have the space required for train yards that can handle longer trains, and the signal blocks are too short apart to handle trains longer than that (basic railway safety, a train must always have enough free space in front so that it can brake from full speed to zero in case of crossing a red light without crashing into the train in front). US trains run in multiple kilometers of length, so they have vastly greater capacity.

2) our car height is limited because our networks are largely electrified which means you can't double stack containers on them

3) our infrastructure is densely packed which means that you can't just run a train uplink to a random warehouse, and for those industries that do have a train uplink, the shunting required is expensive (need to maintain locomotives and trained drivers, which are in rare supply compared to truck drivers).

> Being government subsidised, often nationalised, there's no innovation anywhere, nobody cares, all the usual problems of socialised infrastructure

WTF? That's just flat out wrong and ideological. There is no real innovation anywhere in railways, the only thing that the US makes different is that freight trains are prioritized and longer, but that's hardly innovative (and again, as Europe is smaller and denser, impossible to replicate).

With smaller innovations (I'd call these "improvements") the situation looks different - e.g. the digitalization of train control aka ETCS, automated couplers, more efficient/silent braking systems... the tech exists, vendors exist - but good luck getting all the private freight companies to on-board to that new tech, as they don't want to bear the cost of progress! That, and solely that, is why Europe is still stuck with screw couplers and dumb freight carriages.

If there are any lawyers here, I'd love thoughts on whether these tools (used in employment/interview settings) violate 29 CFR § 801.4 - Prohibitions on lie detector use. (I know this article is about schools and in Canada). I've been thinking these tools do violate, but never filed a case alleging it (yet). Specifically, these anti-cheat "algorithms" seem to be "a polygraph, deceptograph, voice stress analyzer, psychological stress evaluator, or any other similar device (whether mechanical or electrical) that is used, or the results of which are used, for the purpose of rendering a diagnostic opinion regarding the honesty or dishonesty of an individual." I mean, the entire purpose is to determine if the prospective employee is honest. Any thoughts?

> Distributing software on Windows is something anyone can do very easily, without relying on a third party package repo or maintainer.

Is that so? Last time I checked you had to choose between 3 installation approaches and then choose a 3rd party installer (all of which have bad UX) and set that up.

Fragmentation exists on Windows too, it's just internal.

> However, what we should really be doing, in my opinion, is something like AppImage (or NeXT Application Directories , or RiscOS AppDirs, etc.) combined with a sandbox-by-default similar to what exists on mobile, but without pops or the ability for the application to tell when it has been denied a permission.

You're probably taking about Flatpak and Snap. One has great marketing but is not usable for ethical/practical concerns while I haven't had a very good experience with with Flatpak (its "runtimes" are basically extra Linux distributions).

The thing with the prosthetics is that I feel like there's hundreds, if not thousands of companies and individuals working on them, but there doesn't seem to be any convergence, or more importantly, mass production - meaning that prosthetics remain expensive and made-to-measure. This is a thing with a lot of things that look very high-tech or science fiction.

This is nothing but praNayaama packaged in a fancy journal paper. It's been practised in India for > 4000 years as part of Yoga.

One of the earliest recorded mentions is in the Bhagavad Gita (set in 2500 BC). In it, Krishna tells Arjuna to calm his mind, focus his gaze on the tip of his nose, and concentrate on his breath.

One of the greatest practioners was Sri Aurobindo who practised this for 8 hours a day for several weeks. He then reported a radiating energy through his body and wrote "Savitri" - 24,000 line poem in English while hiding from the British in French-occupied Pondicherry.
Oh ...Sky.

For those not intimately familiar with the UK ISP industry, allow me to fill you in.

Sky's home-broadband service was a spin-off from Easynet which was a spin-off from UKOnline (Easynet's business broadband went Interoute -> GTT).

UKOnline were a fantastic ISP back in the day, really, really good.

Then Easynet bought them. They kept the techies, which meant things still got fixed correctly and in a timely manner.

The shit didn't really start hitting the fan until the Easynet spinoffs started. Once the residential customers moved to Sky and the business customers moved to Interoute ... that's when the service levels dropped off a cliff.

As for who to use now ?

Well, others have mentioned Andrews & Arnold.

I would concurr. They might me more expensive than the rest, but they employ techies who know their stuff. And if their techies find out you are a techie, they will treat you as one and have a proper conversation, you don't need to beg and scream to speak to a level 3 tech .. at AAISP, most techs are highly knowledgeable.

Not only that, but the Andrews & Arnold management and monitoring system is one of the best I've seen. They've got these fancy graphs they generate 24x7. And you can see the full activity log in relation to your account (even down to notes left by Openreach engineers when they came to fix your line).

Not only that, but Andrews & Arnold will do things other ISPs won't do. You want some static IPv4 ? No problem. You want a /48 IPv6 ? No problem. Want to manage your own PTR records ? No problem.

For home users and small businesses who can't yet afford a leased line, Andrews & Arnold is the dogs bollocks.
