> If I was an American, I wouldn't want to be footing the bill for Global Security either.

There is a deep and nuanced conversation to be had here, though I will say fourstar already made one important point very succinctly. [1]

I will point out that it has been the position of the American people since WWII that we are happy to foot the bill for global security. So while you might not feel that way, Americans feel differently. I'll give a bit of background on how that came to be.

While Hitler was cutting through Europe there was a extensive internal debate in the US whether just focusing on defending the Pacific would be sufficient. During the time leading up the Battle of Britain, we decided the US view of security needed to be global-- if Hitler overran Britain the threat was just too large. It would turn out that the Brits won one of the most significant military victories in history [2], but prior that fact emerging American policy had come to the firm conclusion that we had to defend east as well as west. The Brits handled it, but it was tough to know that at the time.

Since WWII we have not really reevaluated this policy. Some in the US believe it is time to do so and the current election will decide much of this. But in the last 10 years we have witnessed the biggest land grab in Europe since World War II [3], so now might not be the time to dissolve the world order.

This may be more detail than you were expecting, but I hope you found it interesting. The world is a much more fragile place that I wish and at the end of the day we all need to chip in for global security.

I said it before, any education before college is training. Seems like I hit a nerve, as I was downnvoted without explanation. We all went through school and high school, we all know they only want you to memorize the answers, no critical thinking allowed The teacher almost always acts like he is Moses coming down from Mount Sinai. That was my personal experience and everyone's I know.
I think guis are more useful for things you don't do everyday.

I'm a cli junkie, but if I'm only going to do something every 6 months, it's not worth the mental effort to remember. I could be using that mental energy for learning obscure git subcommands and trying to shoehorn them into random situations I find myself in.
No, we can’t do both.

Imagine you walk into a theatre thinking it’s going to be a Hitchcock movie. After the 12th minute, they start showing Groundhog Day.

They ask you to come back the next day.

You return. Again, after the 12th minute, Groundhog Day. Again, they ask you to come back the next day.

And they don’t return the money you paid for your ticket. Or a credit. You have to pay for a ticket again. Everyday.

Now. How often are you going to keep returning to someone who steals from you and knows you will return. Meanwhile, any theatre next street is playing the Hitchcock flick.

What would a reasonable rational person do?
Gmail scanned my contents and shadow banned my emails
I used gmail to send a few emails for customer research purpose. These all are valid email addresses with people who have expressed interest in receiving research. I noticed that after some time Gmail stopped delivering but shows all emails as "Sent".

I tried to test on my another email id. It appears that as soon as I use my customer research content, Gmail does not deliver and shadow bans me. But, sending email with subject and content as "test" gets delivered.

I simply don't understand why Google is becoming such a disater day by day? Any ideas how to bypass shadow ban?

Edit: Now I am unable to receive any email on account used for sending customer research.

agree, and the author continues to use double quotes around search pattern despite showing an example where single quote was needed!

As a good practice, I always try to single quote the expression, even if it is not needed. Use double quote only when needed and even then, use it only for the portion required, not for the entire expression.

If you are not ethnically Chinese you are an underclass in Singapore. If you are not black you are not an underclass in the United States. I have no idea what it is like to be black in Singapore but for anyone else, I would think "not being an underclass" is high on anyone's list.
Where exactly I “leave lies”? That’s a serious allegation and is thrown very casually here, as if it is self-obvious.

Very good. All those lockdowns, which are privations of liberty worse than what happen under war time (while yielding way less deaths), are totally incomprehensible for people like me who lives in countries that don’t do it and still handle the situation way better. Europeans need to revolt against those measures which are clearly too harsh for the problem at hand, and which are destroying the local economies.
Never trust a clock.
Markets don't move by magic. They move by the aggregation of thousands and millions of transactions. And yeah, sellers and lenders absolutely incorporate their taxes into prices.

I see what you are trying to say about capital gains taxes not being in the "price" of securities. But they are in aggregate because taxes inevitably have to be paid. The whole market can't go up without transactions pushing it higher. And all transactions that make profit get a portion pulled out for taxes. They quite literally act as a damper on how fast a market can move.
Not an expert an the area, but from what I read the
US is a tax heaven for the super rich, Finland certainly is not. Progressive tax rates are high. There are creative ways to get your (should I say their?) income avoiding progression, then it's flat 30%.

Both are taxing the normal mortals, Finland probably slightly higher.
Once you start caring about cross-platform, incremental, distributed builds with a bunch of people committing to a monorepo those advanced features start becoming attractive. Shell scripts handle the 'run this build/test task' but not 'pull these artifacts from another set of tasks, run this task to produce a bunch more artifacts, cache them for later.'

In these scenarios the lines between build system, package manager, and task runner all become pretty blurred. Haven't found an all in one solution that I would call "portable" yet.
Yes, I am a selfish person. You are free to pay my share of the taxes to increase the budget from 360 million/year to $600 million/year etc. Have a nice day.
Housing is literally exclusively a supply and demand problem. If you want rent to go down, allow more building. End of story. There's actually nothing else to it. Lower property values caused by an increase in supply will yield lower rents because rents are generally indexed to mortgage rates which are indexed to property values.

The problem is twofold.

1. Americans view property as an investment while also wanting it to be affordable. These are mutually exclusive. If you want something to be a good investment you want it to become less affordable over time.

2. Renters tend to be younger, transient, non-voters with weaker ties to the community. Landowners tend to be older, established voters with strong ties to the community. This means the city council panders to landowners, and they pass policies which prevent development.

SF is the worst for this, the city is basically unchanged since the 1970s to the absolute and sole benefit of landowners.

There are wonderful examples of cities which pretty much default-allow building housing, like Tokyo. Tokyo is incredibly affordable, downtown starter-home/condos cost $200K USD, and people in Japan do not view property as an investment but rather as somewhere to live. More like a car.

Yes, prop 13 sucks, yes a land value tax is pointing in the right direction, yes rent control isn't helping, but none of these things are a substitute for the simple unit economics of supply and demand. Anything other than permitting tons of new building is at best a band-aid over a hole in the dam.
What are tech industry salaries like in Singapore compared to Silicon Valley FAANG companies?
This might be (very) pedestrian, but the first question that comes to my mind - What is my work situation expected to be? Am I going there to work, or is the expectation that I’m independently wealthy, or joining up with a local employer?

Here in Seattle, despite the University of Washington turning to online instruction for courses, the frat houses were all open.

It's a shame that the university failed to consider teaching the most important lesson of all - social responsibility for your fellow neighbours.

Yes, that is definitely possible and might make for a fun project. Use stego to make the livestream look innocuous and apply heavy ECC, further resisting censorship and arousal of suspicion. I think this is the closest I've seen to a public implementation of that idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12166332

You'd still need an uplink but the upload bandwidth usage is a fraction of the download one for typical Internet usage.

Perhaps the chat/comments (once again with heavy stego/encryption) would work?

From page 6 of that (awesome!) article: After some messing around and guessing VSC parameters, fwtool could all of a sudden also read and write the flash of a HD attached to the PC it's run on.

So a remote attacker who already had root access to run fwtool could do it.
I never understand why people quickly judge/look down upon people who just want to try new tech, or even use something because they want to.

Done. It's an email server. The person shipping the car takes a photograph of the odometer, emails it to the recipient, and then the recipient compares the photograph of the odometer with the car odometer. Any tampering which could be performed on the photo or its timestamp could be done equally to whatever log is entered into the blockchain, and the recipient knows that the photo must have been taken before the date when they received the email.

And if you use gmail, it's free.

These things need to be less politicized and erratic if they are going to work.

Why are elementary schools closed across most of the US, while bars and restaurants are mostly open for reduced in-person service?

Because the teacher unions and dining industries both have enough political power to get their way. There's no rhyme or reason besides "might makes right", and the rules for businesses seem to change every week, so the growing public frustration is very understandable.

I'm proud of these students. It's unconscionable that their institution did not inform them of these installations ahead of time. I've been a student who had to walk a couple miles for groceries, and I held my walking routes to be sacred during that time. If someone put a wall between me and fresh fruits during an exam week with no warning, I would have rioted too. And I bet my grandmother who lived through the Blitz would be rooting for them despite her zeal for giving things up for the public good. The British Bulldog spirit recognizes a difference between austerity and autocracy.

From the Wikipedia article you linked:

>One boy, Karl Gruber, from an impoverished family with six children, became a favourite. The two studied Latin, Greek and mathematics together from four to seven in the evening, then dined in Wittgenstein's room.

This seems like classic grooming behavior.

I thought this was not a true statement but there it is, in the ToS:

Participants are responsible for the travel expenses to Finland and for any insurances the participants are willing to take.

Participants are responsible for the living costs and all other personal expenses during their stay in Finland.

All fun & games until you realize:

- The cost of living is on par with some of the most expensive cities while being a small town at the ass end of Siberia.

- The incredibly aggressive Finnish income tax (and high tax on everything basically) means that no matter how much you earn at the end of the month you're basically broke

- Helsinki features in the top 5 of world's coldest capital cities. In winter you can expect down to -30 and a whipping wind from the Baltic sea. Summers are only 2-3 months when it can be pleasant.

On the plus side it's actually quite international. Some 20% of Helsinki residents are foreigners. So you can easily get by by not speaking Finnish. It's also very walkable and public transportation is adequate so no car needed (also that'd cost you an arm and a leg)

Well, thank you. And, I appreciate your honesty.

I would not be surprised if you already know what I think on the matter. You seem to have a strong grasp of how to do it well.

I am able to navigate back on my browser, but it requires an extra step. I am not terribly competent, and I've lots of things to work on. I think the backbutton overriding is a small price to pay. I realize it may bounce some people, and that's okay too. I think my empathic interlocutors end up requiring foolish degrees of curiosity and even tolerance for far larger hiccups and problems than that too.

Tangent: stepping through the history of the story river can be useful for this kind of object, and I like that it can be easily and fully downloaded for private offline reading/searching/modification too. It's not meant just for the web (and its conventions); I aim to distribute however I must.
I find stories like this (and also reading newspaper stories from elections in the Tammany Hall period) strangely reassuring.

Democracy can go terribly sometimes, but the real problems start when you try the alternatives.
Being woke doesn’t translate to voting for good policies. You’re even more susceptible to voting for heartstrings boondoggles when you’re extra woke.
Social problems exist in degrees. San Francisco, with the most stringent land-use restrictions in the US, and largely as a consequence of that, the highest rental rates in the world, experiences the problem of homelessness to a much higher degree.

Why thry offer this without any cost?
Part of the reason is that ensuring things work for a different CPU architecture is simply a non-trivial task. There are libraries with hand-written x86 assembly, and others in C/C++ that depend on x86 intrinsics to perform acceptably, and then there are those that work accidentally on x86 because of how compilers implement some undefined behaviour for x86.
Ww2 in Europe was largely won by the USSR. Britain and the US opened a western front quite belatedly after years of begging by the USSR, after the Soviets sacrificed 15+ million lives to turn the tide, and after a lot of wasted time focusing on minor gains in North Africa (at Churchill’s insistence). Combined US and UK military’s deaths were less than a tenth those for USSR. We love to pat ourselves on the back with movies about D Day though. (They should be about Stalingrad.)

Finland incidentally was a key ally for Hitler in his attack on the USSR.

SF does have a huge homeless population. Yes it go's to homeless shelters and other charities/programs. We sometimes forget that not all homeless are chronic homeless which is what most people associate as homeless.

Someone may be having hard times making rent and go to a church or other organization for financial help and other services. Battered women, at risk children also exist and may require a shelter with more security or women only shelters - which are funded too. There are many other services that exist that use that funding.

I didn't see waste. Actually, I would go so far as say most charities that receive federal and state funding rely on reporting to receive those grants and funding and things are very transparent. HMIS is the tech side of things that build the systems to track and report on everything.
Another basic problem I run into is that grep returns whether it found a match or not as its exit status. This means if you, for example, run a script with bash option

set -e

Then the session will exit unceremoniously on any grep that doesn't match. This often catches you out when you say, develop a script without -e and use it for a while, and then one day someone deploys the same thing with -e enabled because they think it will be more robust if the script terminates if a command fails - and boom, now suddenly your script is randomly broken depending on text matches of the files it is processing. It is even worse if you are sourcing the script somehow from within an existing session and it terminates your interactive shell!
This is a sufficient argument for no hyphen at all.
It seems a little unusual. I can't quite tell what the difference between this and just flying to the country and working remotely would be. According to the terms, you pay for accommodation and everything in the country, as well as your flight there and so on. Maybe it's just sort of an in for permanent residence?
For just routine cleanings, sure. If you need work done it can get real expensive.
Post the headers of your emails? This is a fun allegation.
You probably explicitly broke some T&C and your account is heading to being closed. My guess would be, a recipient objected, and the s/w is closing in on you.

Don't get me wrong - the situation sounds terrible and I'm sure the US health insurance system is pretty bad for a lot of people (at least it sounds like your friend got the treatment and can go through bankruptcy to clear off the debt) - but from OPs perspective, being covered by insurance on a good income - being in constant fear of medical bankruptcy sounds bizarre to me.
I'm on the side of health precautions for this epidemic, but in this particular case, the fences not only look very oppressive from a psychological point of view to me, but could also potentially represent a fire hazard. There has to be a better way.
