> "Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum, "My God, the floor's immaculate! Lie down, you hot bitch."

This is technically true, but most men and women will probably be significantly less interested in making love to you if you're living in a filthy home.

Sufficient and necessary conditions and all...
I think the thing is to go back to the point of the retrospective which is to improve how you're working. You can do that with a regular meeting but that's not the only way to approach things.
That aljazeera link doesn't sit right with me.

I mean, just look at that first picture. It's a small child sitting in a sandy place with a stainless steel bowl with porridge like food inside. There is no civilization in sight. Maybe some village houses, which represent the bare minimum shelter needed. So now you get to ask yourself, should I feel pity or should I recognize that this child is not living in an environment that is conductive to escaping poverty? If I do take pity, will people pity me if I do a hike without food and end up starving on some forest path far away from civilization? I somehow doubt they would pity me.

My point is, this problem is fundamentally unsolvable without either bringing civilization to these people or bringing the people to civilization. Taking pity on them doesn't do anything except maybe convince yourself that you did your part.

Fighting against world hunger feels like a worthy goal that is fulfillable but it isn't. You don't solve world hunger by feeding people, you solve it by restructuring society.
More like.

I'll pay you minimum wage, but charge you exorbitant amounts for board and lodging and you have no choice because it's the middle of nowhere.

Or for the extra dodgy types, cash payments below minimum wage because they know international workers are less likely to know their rights and be aware of what the minimum wage is.
Google pay looked cool but I never bothered because I knew google has this bad habit of messing up perfectly fine things that just work.

Meh, I guess I was right.

So at this point I just ignore new google stuff.

Even assuming that they're any good, google itself will mess them up eventually.
In my very own experience in a very different country I found if a mouthpiece tries to tell you what to do or think, as a first approximation it is better to do the exact opposite. People usually don't need to be told to look out for their own interests and thus no one pays for it.
Who was kicked off Youtube for that?
At least in Bavaria, it's perfectly acceptable to have a beer mixed with lemonade ("Radler") during lunch.
So far it feels like Western europe is becoming a fashion house / museum / resort / rich oligarchs clubhouse for the rest of the world. Which, while may sustain high enough living standards for them for some time, looks tragic to say the least.

10 years ago I'd have said Eastern European spirit may turn the ship around. But today I'm not so sure. It feels like too many people got comfy enough and sign off on Western's idea. The sad part is that we're still pretty poor and that comfiness will be gone even faster. Both in terms of wealth and geopolitics.
> Riot's Valorant rootkit is active from boot and actively monitors everything you run and will block things it doesn't like or doesn't recognize.

Honestly, if I was responsible for building an anti-cheat system this is the way I'd go about it. Anything that can run that you don't know about (e.g. because it ran before you started) is a potential risk.
Because AMD has a tiny market share. Trust me, if AMD would be on top, it would be riddled with holes, just like Intel
>riff raff

The expense is less trivial when you are a startup trying to understand a market, and you have many market segments to explore, and all of the regulations are ISO documents.

I’m sure you didn’t mean that a startup is “riff raff,” but it is true that pay to know laws create friction against new entrants when you have to spend thousands on standards just to understand what the law requires.

It’s also true that new companies aren’t always experienced in these fields. Does that make them “riff raff?”
I'm sure U.S has more valuable targets, but it's not the document itself that has to be fake in quite a few countries out there, you would also need forged chips etc. that go with it. Rogue employee is way easier than going this route. Self identification in the USA is way behind the world, the archaic voting system is a good example of it.
Some of Australia's visa's require that the applicant spend a few months working on a farm, usually fruit-picking. These workers are still entitled to the same minimum wages (as far as I know) and other protections, in theory.

(Australia's geographical isolation makes it difficult to attract seasonal workers, unlike throughout Europe where traveling for work is comparatively cheaper and easier.)

However, farmers have always benefited from the fact that people wanted the visa more than the didn't want to work — many workers are taken advantage of. Now that there are none of these workers, farmers are having to complete for labor like anyone else and that is costing more than they intended.
Which is...?
> COVID showed Europeans how dependent they are from China industry and US tech.

I absolutely agree with you here.

> Most Europeans know that Europe is declining and sinking slowly.

Sorry, you lost me here. Outside of the nationalist far right, I never hear people saying anything of the sort. How are we "declining and sinking"?
Is it preposterous?

We don't have enough information on the actual exchange, or the context from this article.

"a colleague told them that their skin was much darker than she expected."

That might be benign, or hostile, or just candid and clumsy. It's hard to tell.

It's also not clear whether Google was asked to put forward a defence to the accusations made in the article.

"Google said in a statement that the company is committed to supporting employees who raise concerns about workplace treatment."

Again, the article doesn't provide enough context for us to know. Was the statement in response to a request to answer the allegations in the article, or was it a generic statement made without the context of these specific allegations?

Which government is telling you where you can shop? In what way do they do that?
Preface: I think this is probably giving the colleague too much credit, but with that thought in mind...

I learned the hard way once that even a (seemingly) innocent comment about a friend's tan could be perceived very adversely, due to the fact that their culture had "being tanned" == "being dark(er)" connotations which were quite negative. It's a particular point of view, not one globally shared, that being tanned (or general malleability of skin tone) is a discussion point/something of casual interest.

These day I find it's best to simply mind my own business about others' appearances unless they're very close friends or family.
I'd argue it's working as intended and it's the US who's the outlier.

Regulations usually pop up because systems, left on their own, tend to evolve towards a spiral of undesirable social dumping and other negative outcomes. We tend to focus on a minority of arduous regulations, ignoring the majority of them that make our lives better.

High taxes, when distributed fairly, are a good thing - talent and hard work gets you to upper-middle class, but really high incomes are mostly down to luck. Now, the move from taxing incomes to taxing wealth is long overdue, but that's a different discussion.

Difficult access to capital - can it be that Europeans are simply less exuberant, less gullible, and assess startups more realistically? Getting seed funding worth of lifetime income of a median person, for a dubious idea without any reasonable business model - that's the anomaly, not the other way around.
With this approach nothing else will be there besides Adsense. And when Adsense's eventual, but certain death spiral starts, there will be nothing to gently pivot to.

Not so fast. Can a landlord refuse to rent to someone because they are black, because they have children, because of their political affiliation?

Once sex work becomes legal, then it has to abide by the same rules as everyone else.

They are going to get a lot of customers that many of them would probably not want to touch if they were not getting paid to do so.

That is a very popular topic among the far right. I guess that is just a completely random coincidence, and nothing at all to do with it being hateful.
You gotta feed people to be able to do the restructuring. Your logic is hollow to someone starving.

Also impressive you’ve attempted to resurrect the idea of “civilizing” people.
Yeah agreed but the home need not be spotless clean/sterile. Let me take that back, cleanliness with a certain vibe is perfectly fine. Like some homes you walk into, you get this amazingly welcoming and warm vibe, and the home will be spotless. This is very rare though.
Most sterile homes you enter, are devoid of any warmth.

Depending on your interests, embedded systems programming might be an opportunity worth pursuing.

In my experience, it's much more a stable "stack" than most other areas, and there are plenty of programmers who continue to work (and get well paid) as they get older.

Investing some time with a Raspberry Pi and a couple of micro-controllers at home will get you started on the skillset, maybe some Open Source contributions as a way into the community?
We have a similar situation in the UK where minimum wage is payed but work and living conditions are horrendous.

No locals will do the work because... Why would you. Living in a caravan for the whole summer and working 12 hours a day isn't a good deal. Maybe its worth it if you intend to move back to a county where you get much better purchasing power?
But if it doesn't support the narrative it's weird to point out that the kitchen isn't messy. Maybe they got home after a trip/mission? Why would it be messy?

Gpay is also extremely easy to set up in India IFF all your government data is in order. Your bank accounts must have your phone number and Adhaar UID linked. This is usually properly setup if you have a good/proactive bank, because they will pester you to link your phone and UID.

With the above in place, it is just a matter of inputting your phone number into gpay, and it will send and receive a flurry of SMSes, figure out all your bank accounts and their details, and add them into the app. Very seamless and kind of scary.

60 deg is not a sauna, it's a mildly warm room.

I was actually surprised when moving to Sweden that saunas are typically no more that 65-70 deg and that everyone wears swimwear. Completely different to e.g. Germany.

> I don't get how food consumption can increase in a pandemic

There are a lot of people comfort eating and generally grazing out of boredom. I'm sure I've been eating a little more than I should with the crappy foods. Plus, people are saving so they are probably buying more foods to stock up on and thus throwing it all away.
Nokia & associated businesses, don't forget that, too. Nokia itself was a decent chunk of the Finnish economy plus it enabled all sorts of associated businesses.
The first happens in The Netherlands on large scale, since they deregulated job agencies. There are 1,000's of shady ones, where administratively all is fine and dandy, but in practice foreign labour is paid far below minimum wage + they are often threatened to not speak up, passport taken, etc.

This, btw, happens all across the EU is my impression. Modern-day slavery very much alive globally even!

In addition to supposedly paying them minimum wage - the farmers employ a racket where they charge the poor souls exorbitant rates to stay on the farm as it is rural and there is no other accommodation thereby bringing the effective minimum wage down significantly.

A lot of the time paracetamol and rest is the correct intervention. You wouldn't believe the number of people who see their GP because they have a cold, hangover or graze.

I now live in a region where there aren't really public doctors and people demand more The consequence is that doctors almost always prescribe a bag of various antibiotics and other pills to counter the side effects just to make patients feel like they got their moneys worth.

What do you mean by 'resurrect the idea of “civilizing” people'?

It smells remarkably like you're trying to manufacture a culture war out of whole cloth when the the comment you're replying to was talking about "bringing civilisation" which is quite clearly being used in the with the meaning of "infrastructure", not the meaning of "white western culture".
A married couple was in a car when the wife turned to her husband and asked, "Would you like to stop for a coffee?"

"No, thanks," he answered truthfully. So they didn't stop.

The result? The wife, who had indeed wanted to stop, became annoyed because she felt her preference had not been considered. The husband, seeing his wife was angry, became frustrated. Why didn't she just say what she wanted?

Unfortunately, he failed to see that his wife was asking the question not to get an instant decision, but to begin a negotiation. And the woman didn't realize that when her husband said no, he was just expressing his preference, not making a ruling. When a man and woman interpret the same interchange in such conflicting ways, it's no wonder they can find themselves leveling angry charges of selfishness and obstinacy at each other.

As a specialist in linguistics, I have studied how the conversational styles of men and women differ. We cannot lump all men or all women into fixed categories. But the seemingly senseless misunderstandings that haunt our relationships can in part be explained by the different conversational rules by which men and women play.

Most cereal, corn, and even some fruit harvest is highly mechanized, whereas many other types of produce require manual labor, so it's really not surprising.

In Europe, there are seasonal harvests that require surges of workers, who are sometimes legal and sometimes not. For example loads of foreign workers flock to the vineyards in France, Italy or Spain to collect the grapes for winemaking. It's around 3 weeks of work, obviously not worth a permanent contract.

There were very few restrictions in those countries by the time of harvest (September) so wine prices, to my knowledge, have remained largely unaffected, but if it happened otherwise, winemakers would have been, without doubt, lobbying against the restrictions.

"A married man with a family will do anything for money" - Talleyrand
It's interesting work. The results show a marked contrast with equivalent information for Intel (think uops.info, Agner Fog's work or even the Optimization Reference Manual).

Most obvious is separating general purpose register stuff from SIMD. If you have a mixed workload, this means M1 is much wider in that sense (although note that the SIMD registers involved are 128b as opposed to up to 512b).

Intel's execution ports tend to be special flowers - there's almost always stuff that can be done and can't be done on any given port. So, of the execution ports (0,1,5,6) each one tends to have some special flavor that the others don't share - and there are often complex "oh, you can only do 2 of those or 3 of these". There's a very small list of operations (generally logic and LEA) that can be done on all of 0,1,5,6.

By contrast, most of the M1 things, you can do across every unit that is capable of doing it. Want to do 4 SIMD math ops? Go for your life! It's certainly easier to remember and understand.

I imagine the counterargument on the Intel side is that it's unlikely you need that many of some given operation - so they are saving area to not make every port omni-capable. This works pretty well (right up to the point it doesn't).

It will be interesting to see how the comparison between Intel and Apple plays out in the near future. M1 is a tour de force of balanced design, but I wouldn't count Intel out - especially if they can get their process mojo back (a lot of M1's current advantage is being able to invest transistors in a balanced and sensible way across the entire pipeline due to a better process).
I knew backpacking was a thing, but I thought it was quite confidential. I didn't know that the farmers heavily relied on them to harvest
If you like Mito, here are some other, similar tools that you might like:

Open-Source:

- dtale: Very similar to Mito. On top of mito, it provides basic data exploration and can also be launched from within VSCode. Also exports pandas code but not inline into a cell.

- pandasgui: alternative that does not export code, yet.

Not Open-Source:

- bamboolib: very similar to Mito e.g. also has code export into a cell. The basic version is free on local Jupyter Notebook and Lab. bamboolib does NOT allow inline writing of Excel-style formulas like ROUND(A1, 2) like Mito does. On top of Mito, it supports more pandas functions e.g. also datetime handling. Data explorations for the whole table and columns. It has a plot creator for creating Plotly graphs. It does not log any user data - neither about feature usage nor about the actual data. It also works in Jupyter Notebook. Enterprise customers love the ability to extend bamboolib with plugins in order to add their own custom plots or data transformations. Also, bamboolib supports data loaders e.g. to load CSV files from a GUI - Mito currently seems only to work when the data already is available in a Dataframe variable. With bamboolib the user does not have to code anything in order to spawn the UI. The user can just type the name of the dataframe. For Mito the user needs to type mitosheet.sheet(df_name). bamboolib is more mature because it is roughly 2,5 years in development and has many enterprise customers like Spotify, Bain & Company, Procter&Gamble and 2 of the top 10 global asset managers.

Full disclosure: I am a co-founder of bamboolib

Have you ever left a city? Even in some suburbs it's possible to take a picture of someone with only a few houses behind them. In my smallish town, only tens of thousands of people, I live next to the busiest road and I could find an equally barren background about three blocks away.

Not living in an urban environment is not devoid of civilization.
