I am not an expert, so be kind, but I think you got a thing or two wrong:

- Germany imported close to 110bn m^3 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/332218/gas-trade-imports...)

- a typical big LNG tanker has a capacity of 266,000 m^3 (
https://www.wartsila.com/encyclopedia/term/lng-tanker)

- 110.000.000.000 / 266.000 = 413,533 trips or 1133 tankers unloading every day.

Against the 90m m^3 "whole world fleet capacity" that's still a factor of 1222, so every single LNG tanker would have to do the USA <-> 4 times every day for this to work.
accuRx | Software and DevOps Engineers | London, UK | https://www.accurx.com/careers

At accuRx, we're building a world-famous healthcare communication platform. Our mission is simple - to change lives by bringing patients and their healthcare teams together. Our technology is revolutionising how technology is adopted and how care is delivered in healthcare.

Established in 2016 and now with £9m in Series A funding, accuRx is one of the UK's fastest-growing tech startups. In two years, we grew from only a few GP practices using us to over 50% of practices in England. Today, over 95% of GP practices rely on us to communicate with their patients. We've just launched in hospitals and are already used by over 15% of hospitals in England. Our vision is that anyone involved in a patient's care can communicate with each other.

In response to COVID-19, we spent March and April working tirelessly to release new features to help frontline staff. This includes a video consultation solution that went from zero to 35,000 daily consultations in the space of 8 weeks. We spent November and December building a vaccination booking system that has already saved frontline staff many hours and helped with vaccination uptake for vulnerable people in the UK.

I live in a vibrant residential Chicago neighborhood where developers are constantly tearing down old houses and building new ones. The largest two demographics here are small children and Polish speaking construction workers.

I migrated a side project from Flask to FastAPI recently. It's deployed to GCP Cloud Run with a Cloud SQL database, and integrated with Auth0 and Stripe. I use tiangolo's uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi base image.

It's been really nice for me. As easy as flask, plenty of docs for real world applications, and the performance is great. The emphasis on type systems in the docs was ideal for me.

I was deciding between this and DRF after wanting something more opinionated than just Flask, and I'm really happy with my decision so far.

> I've often wondered if there is a population of users who simply hate ads to the extent that any impression will be net negative value to the advertiser

Yes, I would characterize myself as such. The best products gain their exposure through word of mouth, and don't need paid advertising. Incessantly raping my eyeballs with your brand would just make me hate it even more. Especially so if it's happening on my own electronic devices against my will.

But then there are people who legitimately want to be advertised to — I know some personally.

> I think people want something more transparent which outright removes them from the services they use.

These are called ad blockers. I use them in some form on every device I own.

Every state in the United States is its own little experiment in democracy, and every law passed therein experiments with someone's life, somehow. That's not a reasonable barrier to change.
The most interesting part of the article, to me, is the estimate that 2/3 of college students cheat. I think it's surprisingly plausible. Personally, in one algorithms class I took, I was tasked with peer-grading ten other students' homework, and at least eight of them were clearly copied from the solution.
Another (atypical) way to look at it is to consider the dual meaning of the word "compensation".

What is such high _compensation_ for?

It's possible to interpret it as compensation for the other things that you could have been doing instead; which in your case, you are: so congratulations :)
Well, Germany never had fossil fuel since coal wasn't feasible anymore. And even if, German deposits were too expensive to exploit.

It became quite political due too, IMHO:

- the US wants to sell fracking gas

- the previous US admin wanted to show strength against Russia

- it somehow became a controversial topic in Germany

- Eastern European countries are afraid, maybe rightly so, that now it would be easier for Russia to cut them off (as they did with Ukraine in the past) as soon as Germany and Western Europe wouldn't be affected anymore

Russia, and the USSR before that, pretty much respected contracts. The exception being former Sowjet countries not being part of the EU and NATO. And the conflict between the west and Russia affects Ukraine the worst. These diplomatic aspects, intermingled with economic interests, have been badly handled by Germany.

That being said, it wouldn't be the first pipeline through the Baltic Sea. There is already a Nordtream 1.
Ah. I misread you. I thought you were saying card “discounts” were illegal, not that TOS against those kinds of clauses were illegal.

> these rules have curtailed individual liberty for the benefit of the whole group.

This is certainly varying over countries and debatable.
This kind of thing usually tends to be some sort of configuration error. Rare these days, but not entirely unheard of, and more likely if you build drivers from source.

I'm curious how will it be different from the experiment that's been going on in Seattle for the last few years? Has hard drug use decreased there? Are there fewer needles on the streets?

> Usually high-level German politicians retire and stay out of things.

Not really, at least not in the last 15 or so years. It has become pretty common for senators to later end up in similar (through less powerful) positions then him.

Let's be honest Germans goverment is supper screwed over currently by laws which allow forms of lobism which should be treated as corruption and handled with multi year prison sentence.

There is a reason why Germany is on some corruption indices pretty high in the top (of most corrupt countries).

And the trade-off of type inference and 'you have to hint here' vs compile speed is also well worth it. Like other comments here, I usually add local names or types to signatures 'for readability' (esp. to future me).
But Thursday is when they stopped trading GME. I can't believe that people would be stupid enough to go into RH to trade when the entire WSB is talking about how RH screwed them.

Star Raiders: Atari's “killer app”

I think it's a poor argument. "Germany, which was halfway a Soviet satellite state, bought fuel from the USSR forty years ago, therefore all German purchases of Russian fossil fuels are perpetually justifiable."

What kind of world do you live in where you resist a clear need for self-preserving adaptation to the new reality, simply based on past behavior during a time of upheaval and fragmentation?
The USSR also has not used gas deliveries as a lever against Western Germany at all.
I would guess that Merkel is regarding energy prices as a factor that is driving prices for all dependent products. I guess she is probably trying to optimize this expenditure for the economy of her country.

Meanwhile drug users who often don't want to stop will now move to Oregon.
Unless administered by the government drug use, in the common parlance, isn't government experimentation of peoples' lives. People are experimenting with their own lives when taking drugs/narcotics.

The reasons to decriminalize drugs, or not, from a government perspective is policy that can be typically measured as cold numbers. Such numbers can include:

* cost of drug treatment / rehabilitation

* cost of lost/missing work

* decreases in numbers of incarceration

* changes in traffic fatalities

* changes in rates/frequencies of drug consumption

Then there are second and third order effects are large policy changes that aren't immediately clear such as related petty crime, homelessness, changes in education attainment, changes to medical insurance expenses and so forth. More complicated than that are social changes that everybody wants to guess at, but are really a wild card.

Portugal has had great results with drug decriminalization, primarily that demand dramatically tanked. It isn't clear similar results will be achieved in the US due to cultural differences, but I applaud Oregon for being a test experiment that other states can learn from.

Please note that I have not stated any personal opinion for/against drug policy changes.

> Go and Rust encourage use of static method calls

Not having worked in Go or Rust but having done a lot of work in Java and C/C++, I'm curious how this works out in practice. My experience with developers who default to static method calls rather than objects in Java or C++ is that they also default to static (and therefore global) data as well. Of course, you don't have to do that: you can pass pre-transaction data structures to the static functions and let them operate on them, but that's what object-oriented programming is for in the first place.
It's funny, because Merkel's party is actually pushing for the decision about what counts as "hatespeech"/"terrorism" to be made by the platforms themselves. The CDU wants there to be nothing edgy at all. Pretty similar to China's "social credit dystopia" moral panic, actually. Just different means.
Interesting. When I took modern foil fencing classes, it wasn't dangerous in the slightest. The training foils (the long thin bendy swords that people usually think of when they think of fencing) are extremely flexible and have a button on the tip. You score a point by pushing that button against your opponent in a score zone of their body. You wear an electrified vest over your torso with a long wire leading back to the score machine, and when the opponent's sword tip touches your vest it completes an electric circuit. If that circuit is completed at the same time the opponent's foil tip button is depressed, they score a point. Both people have full cage facemasks, and there's almost zero chance of injury short of tripping.

Epee fencing, on the other hand, uses a heavier, stiffer sword, so when you poke somebody it can bruise.

Sabre fencing is the third modern fencing style, and allows you to score points with the blade (slashing) instead of just the point as with foil and epee. I've never done it but have heard it is the most physical style of the three.

This photo is of an epee match, but displays the still considerable flexibility of the weapon and the electrification wires that trail behind each combatant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89p%C3%A9e#/media/File:Fin...

> It’s not the reviewers job to decide if you created a “good” keyboard, just that your app generally does what it says it does.

From KeyboardCleanTool’s webpage[1]:

> In 2011 Apple rejected the app for the Mac App Store because apparently it's "not useful", however I often use it to clean my Macbook Keyboard without producing annoying input.

App review does make judgements on the usefulness of apps (and in this case they are wrong, because plenty of people use that app).

the gist

> In this short report, we show that the antibody response to the first vaccine dose in individuals with pre-existing immunity is equal to or even exceeds the titers found in naïve individuals after the second dose. We also show that the reactogenicity is significantly higher in individuals who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the past. Changing the policy to give these individuals only one dose of vaccine would not negatively impact on their antibody titers, spare them from unnecessary pain and free up many urgently needed vaccine doses.
"Hey Boss, this system that our team selected and configured, behaved as documented but not in a way that protected our customers' experience.
