> What does the Nordic Resistance Movement do?
At present the organisation’s foremost public-facing aim is to spread propaganda to the people. As we recruit activists with quality in mind, the main intention of this activism is not to persuade large sections of the population to join us but rather to ensure they have a positive image of the Resistance Movement and National Socialism so they will vote for us or support us on the day we lay claim to power in the Nordics.

LOL!
Maybe we should be, in response to knowing the viability and use of CI hacks?

Ensure you have a reproducible build, then randomly build on a different machine and compare file signatures of the results. Do it every so often with a “clean room” machine. Probably no need to run parallel infra that’s just as likely to be hacked.
They had a head start after WW 2 for sure. Earlier they were not affected by Ottoman wars like the Balkans and other Eastern Europe (the extent of destruction and de population that brought was beyond imagination), nor a Moorish occupation like in Iberia. Scandinavia was not razed to the ground and drastically depopulated in recent centuries.

Finland is somewhat exceptional among the Nordics as they were quite poor and had some shit to deal with from Russia (and Sweden) but managed to become rich and high trust.
Don't you the boring company?

I think the hyperloop is even more ludicrous given the technological problems involved in vacuum tubes. But I think Elon realises that which is why all he did is write a memo on it rather than create a company around it.

Russia stages 'successful' second launch of new rocket
Ok, sorry about that mistake.

Tesla will enter that market and they should. They want to sell 10 million + cars.

Model 3 has far more range then 250km, it had then that even when it was released years ago. Its comparable with the ID.3, more then the Zoe.
That's a nice theory but doesn't mirror my experience. Online ads will be for overpriced junk, when it's not literal scams.

The reason is it's all highest bidder, no quality control. If there was an ad network with a brand, with a reputation for only running ads for high quality products at competitive prices, then maybe I'd pay attention.

EDIT: Writing this comment made me consciously pay attention to ads to verify my thesis, but honestly the quality was better than I expected.
Someone really delivers after saying, "I could do that in a weekend." :)

> Food is essential for live, you have no food, you die. If you or your children starve you will pay anything for food. Society's stability depend of the supply and price of food.

That doesn't mean your country has to grow it.
A much better solution for individual food security is food stamps.

If your country has problems with a temporary lack of food one of the easiest things to do is to import more and if nesacery subsidize it. Famines tend to come from broken economic and political systems like imperial UK in Ireland and communist USSR, they both refused to import more food during a famine and in fact exported a lot food
If enough people abandon cities I could see this happening. Imagine how much it would cost to engage a marketing company to put your BS "message" onto a billboard and have enough people see it. Imagine too all of the added compliance costs that would come with having to deal with dozens of small municipalities, each with their own quirky laws.
Seriously? What's up with people who couldn't even list the basic tenets of various political systems suddenly being for this or against that, on the basis of name alone?

Minor rant, but the greatest tragedy of recent American politics (1980+) has been convincing people they're dumb and will never be as smart as others. It's set up a terrible cycle of (1) listen to "experts," (2) forget that one can do one's own thinking, (3) parrot expert views back to your peers, (4) feel secretly ashamed of your own ignorance, (5) become more strident in "your" views, GOTO (1).
A lot of these companies are in the “the only reason it’s a good price is we are burning VC money” and “the only reason we have VC money is our promise to grow” zone. Customers can enjoy watching the slow motion train crash.
I never claimed they have. I said they are making money with the technology, those are different things.

And you fail to respond to my actual point.
How can it get better with time if Tesla's QA is so bad that cars regularly get delivered with misaligned panels, serious faults and faulty electronics?

If their hardware QA is bad, what makes you think their software QA won't fail and one day drive you into a barricade it thinks is a highway exit?

Would you get in an airplane that had daily software updates? It has more capabilities right?
They are a google search away. I mentioned Berlin because I live there and looked at them before. I guess cyclists do these maneuvers because they're legal and standing at the back of a queue of cars is not a safe place to be for a cyclist. I'd rather touch a mirror and fall than be rear-ended by an inattentive driver.
Actually more than 14x. Because you control the environment you can provide them with ideal conditions which should speed up the growth cycle.
gmail is down
I think my biggest issue with the film is there's the scene where he finds the mole, then the next scene is after the mole has been arrested and plans are underway for what happens to do next but Smiley and the mole are just having a quiet conversation about tidying up matters in the mole's personal life. If you're not paying attention, it's easy to miss the climax and reveal has happened.

Toby Esterhazy does mention that he tried his hand at playing the English gentleman, and was quite done with it. I would like to have known some more background of Toby. Especially, how Hungarians came to Britain in the mid 20th century. Not quite totally unrelated is the Monty Python sketch on the Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook, which also alludes to the wave of Hungarian migrants:

The Porsche Taycan has been specifically engineered to do that sort of thing over and over.The issue there is that I really don't see a reason to get a taycan over some american muscle, a 500hp mustang is like 1/3rd of the price of a base spec Taycan and will do the exact same job. It's not like army bases are short on fuel either.

> How does the internet 'alleviate issues of information asymmetry'??

Through threads like this. Many people thinking of entering Lambda school will google it, find bad reviews and critical discussion threads and reconsider.

"Alleviate" does not mean "eradicate", surely it's easier to evaluate schools and holiday homes nowadays, compared to 1980?

Top Most Common Java Vulnerabilities You Need to Prevent
I use them heavily. Also, check out ]] [[ and ]m (jump to end of function).
I was quite shocked to read about this sort of behavior from the founder (this is from the Reddit thread, so may be wrong):

"Caleb Hicks was asked why he wouldn't give students a survey on how they liked the changes and he said he "wasn't going to run the school on a survey"."

What a way to respond to your users giving you feedback about the direction of the process/entity they bought into.

> Java was full of AbstractSingletonBeanFactory classes long before unit testing became a thing

You're right that Java had some long class names to start with, but I think it was mostly Spring that introduced the PerhapsOverlyDetailedClassNamingConvention.

Spring's introduction and subsequent wide adoption was a big driver of TDD's growth, which encouraged all those interfaces and mocks.
Hasn't the UK been exceptionally successful over the past few centuries?

Laws of physics do not obey congress, they will pollute unless we make them nuclear.

And some countries are not even near an ocean.
For places like, say, UAE it could be national security issue (you are 9 meals away from a revolution). It's a great back up in case of natural disasters.
I don’t think LED lights are the ultimate solution. They could use light pipes during the day when it’s sunny to route sunlight from outside and distribute it inside possible using fiber optics.

I remember people highlighting this being only a draft and complaints are inappropriate only weeks ago. Difficult to fight legislators and naivete...
The only difference is that people can opt in lambda school but they don't get to choose with progressive tax rates.
The voluntariness of a transaction makes the difference between a payment and theft, between consensual sex and rape.

Progressive taxes will just punish high middle class people for creating more value than low middle class people, making it harder for them to join the class of actual rich people who can structure their income so as to pay minimal taxes (like big corps do).

In the general sense, no, not yet, of course, but in one sense, Zig is probably more production ready than Rust, for example on embedded systems with obscure architectures where OOM-safety is essential.

Here is a talk on using Zig in exactly this kind of environment in production:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=124wdTckHNY

It also depends on your project's timeline. If your project will be stable in a year or two, that might well coincide with Zig's stability program.

If Zig's design goals suit your project then it might be worth investing for the long term and gaining deep understanding of the language as it grows.

My responsibility on this planet as a person in tech

I always thought that recommendation engines should be customized and adjusted by the user. It seems that social platforms are forcing what they think is relevant on me, and I have stopped using some social platforms for this reason. In some cases, I wrote scripts to fetch content (e.g. tweets, rss feeds) and apply my own methods to track topics, or bust the bubble. When the timeline started to show irrelevant topics to my interest (that changed over time), or non-eye opener topics, I usually start leaving the platform as a user.

Yup, suffering it right now.

For the past few months, I’ve been doing a lot of self-discovery. The goal was to decide what I want from my life.

This is what I came up with.
Key Google services such as Meet and Auth are down
Lead was in petrol for several decades.
Youtube is also down for me. I noticed a similar down a short while ago as well. Are google services losing stability or is it just a coincidence?

I think this is a great idea (it's one I've had myself and I might execute on someday), a few questions that I'd also think about?

- who are the biggest non-Ghost ghost hosting companies?

- how would you scale bandwidth costs?

- how will you reach this customer in particular?

- how would you scale support load? the users with the least time and money often have the most requests and need the most help

You might benefit from looking into/reading up on the microconf community, they're the kind of community of bootstrapping types that might help you get more insight on when/how/what to think about.
Here's Popper in his own words:

"Less well known [than Plato's paradoxes of freedom and of democracy] is the paradox of tolerance: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force…" (The Open Society and Its Enemies, ch. 7, note 4)

What's clear from this quotation is that Popper advocated neither unlimited suppression of all wrongthink (as the gleeful Nazi punchers sometimes misrepresent him, and indeed advocate themselves), nor the opposite extreme of unlimited tolerance of any political speech so long as no violence has yet been employed (as the more libertarian among us sometimes misrepresent him).

And that's the key to how I'd respond to your point about the "general level of ignorance". I think you may be right that the general level of ignorance has not worsened. It is in any case quite difficult to measure such a thing. But the prevalence of misinformation specifically about foundational matters of democratic governance, such as whether one can even trust the elections themselves, being promoted by actors with open disdain for open society, and a clear intent to end it, is the precise sort of situation I believe Popper had in mind with this passage.

>A lot of IT workers think every instance of a hack is an example of underfunding the IT department,

Again this is also drawn from a place of experience, many of us have seen first hand organization refusing to put in the money needed to properly secure systems until AFTER their is a compromise, and then the money is only allocate for a few months to resolve the exact compromise that impacted the organization never really changing the security posture of the company / organization.

This pattern is repeated over and over and over again
Yeah, drive and youtube seem to be down as well
Drive too. Status board still green though.
Wow, I never knew, thank you. These pictures look lovely, now in space like this one might actually focus :)

Which makes me think - what was the motivation to be a pilot of one of them, if the risk is so absurdly high? Prestige of being one of the very few certified to fly it? Did it come with better compensation? Or could you be ordered to fly it if you were good enough, no choice given? Or a combination of all of these?

this is the most frustrating part of the whole ordeal, many indie artists had their digital albums on GPM and youtube music is not a replacement because you can't buy albums on it.

Media should not be controlled by large entities but you can't say free speech for documentary producers but not for owners.

Well, a normal university provides much more support than Lambda school seems to do, lectures, graded homework, labs, exams etc, so my point was that if Lambda doesn't provide that and is only really a way to teach yourself, then 30k is too much.

University of course also provides a lot of things not directly related to the teaching, the student experience, a network, for some people the first experience of living on their own etc.

Learning to program is more like an old fashioned trade than a profession. I don't mean that in a derogatory way. I mean that what should be happening is apprenticeships.

If "industry is crying out for more people", then it should be investing in that in the same way it does in every other part of the supply chain.

They should be hiring and training programmers, not externalizing their costs.
I'm able to access GMail and Maps but not Youtube or Drive.

Yes, it would stall development of a lot of business. Many of these businesses are not necessary. Humans would start a different path of looking for what's actually useful rather than falling for what's out there -- or at least that's the dream :)

[edit] Onto your second point, that you need ads to promote price competition, I don't think so. There's almost no advertisement in many kinds of services like e.g. hair salons, but they still very much compete (price included). Also, huge majority of professional trainers do not advertise anywhere in my area, and yet we all compete on price and our customers know the range of prices that are reasonable. So information about price etc. flows quite well regardless of ads.
Other crops are not just scaled up versions of salads. Bulk foods (wheat, potatoes, sugar beets, cassava, rice) cannot be grown efficiently in such vertical farms, at any scale, with current technology. Having lots of multi-story greenhouses does not contribute to developing the sort of radical innovative tech that would be required for staple foods.
