Eh, there are feminists that embrace sexuality too, so I don't know about all that. Personally, I think it's one of those rare situations that's not divided politically. I think there are entire subcultures in America that just don't appreciate sexuality very much.
Where does the belief that corporations are somehow perfect at doing cost-benefit analysis come from? Has anyone worked in a place where that seemed to be the case?

We're talking about an issue that has been loudly complained about for 7 years (and I am evidence that it makes people play the game much less often than they would like to) that some person without access to the source code was able to identify and fix relatively quickly, it would be surprising if it took an FTE 1 week to find this with access to the source code.

This is one of the most profitable games ever, they could hire an entire team to track this down for half a year and it wouldn't even be noticeable on their balance sheet. And I would bet money that it would have increased their active player base (which they care about because of the micro-transactions) in a noticeable way, as long as players were aware of the improvement so they would try it again.

> absolutely no information about who I just paid or how much I paid them.

That's unfortunately how the contactless payments protocol works. Chip cards don't have a display, so user-visible on-device payment confirmation was never a design goal.

There's been some attempts in introducing it (apparently with mixed/bad results, since it's not a thing anymore), but it's ultimately not possible: Since the final payment amount is often not known at the time you tap/dip/swipe your card, what you'd see on your phone would differ from what is ultimately charged.

Arguably, not showing an amount rather than an estimate that will usually be either way over or under the actual amount is better.

Food consumption changes: Pre-pandemic, a good amount of meals would be eaten out of the house. School lunches, breakfast on the way to work, lunch break at the work cafeteria or a fast food place (sure, some folks bring lunch, but many places don't offer a break room that is adequate).

All of this - and things like toilet paper - shifts to consumer goods instead of bulk goods, which takes different equipment and processing in factories, often at different times. A portion of school lunches in the US are the result of government subsidy foods: Cheeses, potatoes, and so on are very low cost to public schools.

In short: Consumer foodstuff demand has increased.

Additionally, more folks are spending a bit of time with food, changing the demands. Plus, home and slightly depressed/anxious with newly found free time means you have more time to eat - and many have taken up eating more.

And then you do have crops that couldn't be picked, disruption in shipping (food travels far), and disruptions in factories that complicates things.
Here in Europe, Huawei and Xiaomi are two of the most popular phone brands I see in shops. Even if the government isn't actually buying them to issue as "work phones" for employees, those employees are certainly buying them for personal use, carrying them to sensitive places, and leaking their own life details.

You'd have to be a complete idiot to believe that the CCP isn't happily digging through all the data they send back.
1) tenants moving during a pandemic are sketchy

2) there was a federal law that you can't evict during the pandemic. It was struck down last month, but changes can be slow. In Portland, $400 million in residential rent is owed. Doubtful if that will be repaid.

3) If rent went down in rent-controlled areas, then renting now could lock in low rents.

4) What we learned during the 2008 recession, was that banks could outlast the recession and drag their feet on regulatory changes (watch the Senate hearings some time. The bankers just play rope-a-dope, "noncommittal", and I'll-have-to-ask-my-boss for hours and days on end.) Anybody with large amounts of capital can just wait out the market.
> the Dutch cabinet offered it's resignation peacefully to atone for a scandal it wasn't even directly responsible for

I don't think that's true. Mark Rutte was prime minister during the escalation of the excessive fraud hunting, and has been directly involved with parts of it. He undeniably carries much of the real responsibility.

He's also not a great example of a politician taking that responsibility; he has a tendency to smile problems away.

That said, you're absolutely right that neither the Dutch not any other European country is anywhere near as corrupt as the US, where corruption seems to be baked deep into its political system.

No, but local authentication before authenticating any payment is possible within the limitations of the protocol.

Amount and payee authentication is unfortunately not. It would require updating all payment terminals in the field – the last time we tried that (i.e. introducing chip support) it took literally decades (and we're still not done).

Jobseeker agencies paid by the Federal government to 'place' workers, this doesn't factor in the jobs actually being suitable or useful mind.

The workers on unemployment are also required to apply for a quota of jobs or risk losing their benefits, even though there may actually be no new jobs to apply for.

I think the only way to solve them, pay all employees way above market. If you do that, it doesn't matter the money to pay the receptionist comes from entertainment accounts.

Another hard to solve issue is envy. A manager in the company might want to have their own receptionist.

In a hypothetical world where all parties are totally OK with a boss sleeping with a receptionist - sure, why not?
There is a difference between being required to collect data that they wouldn't otherwise need for a legitimate business purpose, and being required to provide access to data they've already collected to their government. I'm no expert but it seems like a Chinese company could design products that don't collect a bunch of extraneous information, without violating Chinese law.

> I agree with Google here that you should assume good intent

That’s probably because you can afford to.

Imagine you’re someone who had to file a grave complaint but the person got off the hook because “it was a one time thing, it’s his first offense”.

It’s important to document all microagression if you really want something to happen out of these complaints.

The accuser maybe felt the perp would likely be a repeating offender and is not open to feedback, so the effort to pile up complaints got initiated. This is how it’s done. I’d be happy to work with this person.

This is unironically good advise. On Wikipedia, "assume good faith" is even a rule. This is because many of the talk-page conversations derail due to nothing other than editors assuming bad faith about each others contributions.

I believe it's the market/censorship dynamics driving this; films targeting China and India (which is most really big budget Hollywood films) have much tighter control because the target markets accept less.

Every source that I can find says that US calculates its GDP based on the "expenditure" approach, meaning that it measures spending, not income. Eg: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gdp.asp

Secondarily, capital gains is not really the same thing as income (at least, not in the tax code, and also not in GDP calculations), and most of his $60B "income" is increases in Amazon stock price. And even if it were actual cash income, the GDP difference between the US and Europe is still fifty times larger than that.

Look: I was an American by birth, but I moved to Europe as an adult. I get the attraction, and I'm not trying to bag on Europe. But it's simply false to suggest that America is not overall richer than Europe, or to say that America's extra riches are all concentrated at the top.

Of course it might be any of those things. Any comment, even one that sounds completely innocuous, may have subtle malicious connotations that people without context cannot infer. As the Google HR person suggested though, we should assume good motives where we don't have evidence to the contrary. You can't effectively work with other people if you're always assuming what they say is a veiled insult.

If there is context that makes this clearly malicious then the article should provide it. It's not reasonable to assume that context exists though. While it is reasonable to acknowledge it might exist - there's no evidence of it. Perhaps a teapot is in space orbiting the sun by itself.

This way of using Wayland and VM's seems very interesting and useful. What I'm wondering though, is whether it would be realistically possible to also expose some kind of GPU acceleration to clients in VM's, for example by means of a virtual OpenGL adapter such as VirGL, which itself uses virtio on top of the host GPU driver. This would not get you anything near the performance required for games, but it should be way better than software rendering inside the clients. Do you think something like this would be possible already?
I'm not debating that. I'm just saying it would not have been a multi-megaton hydrogen-bomb-like explosion physically destroying not just the plant, but the surrounding city as well, like the characters said it would be on the show.
The Mystery of the Missing Sockeye
I have come to the conclusion that western Europe's next year is either the same as this year or a bit shittier. Its a bleak outlook, while my mom came from Asia, I'm actually thinking of moving back to Asia, given I'm not rooted yet. All I really see is Europe becoming hotel Europe for rich Americans and Asians.

I'm pretty sure in Asia they see next year will be better then this year.
I can see it in my own family members back in Asia. They went from generational housing to each uncle and auntie having their own house, nieces and nephews having finished college or university able to afford a better life style then my aunties and uncles could. While I see my little brother and many others struggling to afford a good enough place to buy or rent because of the fucked up housing markets back here in western Europe.

In your opinion, does US need China against Russia?

In my opinion, not since 1989 when USSR crumbled.

Also, it's irrelevant, George Bush is quoted directly that US will intervene to defend Taiwan, same policy was from Reagan well within cold war. So I stand corrected, it does not matter if US needs or not China, it will intervene.

It sounds like the team is interested in adding more automated tests, but are blocked by static singletons, which have high performance but also high coupling, resulting in poor testability.

Android allows app to read gps status, do background stuff that is impossible on iPhone:

- you can't upload photos using e.g. Google Photos or Nextcloud in the background

- there are no custom apps that could do phone tracking (it is available to find my device) e.g. like GPSLogger on Android

Can you integrate a ~smart/dumb watch to do action that you want? (e.g. send a http request, make a call)?

Basically iPhone doesn't have Tasker like functionality and for me that is a no go.

Also is there a way to search for an app that is installed or should I still browse a long list and play "finding nemo"?
The new Google Pay won't work with Google Apps for Your Domain / Google Enterprise / Google whatever they are accounts, which I think means my new pixel 4a will lose NFC payment capabilities soon.

I'm devastated.

I've owned virtually every Nexus/Pixel phone, and have been an android user for 10 years. When I purchased my original Motorola Droid (after standing in line outside the Verizon store in 2009) I also decided to pay for gmail via (what was then branded) Google Apps for your Domain, under the assumption that if you're paying for it, you have more control, you can move the email address away from the custom domain, etc.

I've been nothing but happy with it for 10+ years. Sure, every now and then some newly-launched google product wouldn't quite integrate well, but especially over the past 5 years or so it has been "just another google account".

When I try and install the new Google Pay, I receive an "Account not supported: Enterprise accounts are not supported on Google Pay, please sign in with a personal account" message.

I really hope this is fixed soon, or an error, or there will be some alternative. I literally have given google money at every opportunity, but soon they will take away my ability to give _other people_ money with my phone.
I've seen a lot of otherwise reasonable threads get bogged down by "lowest common denominator" replies, especially ones that don't require reading the article and could really be posted in any thread matching the right keywords. Such comments are *really* easy to make and frequently do "well" in that they attract votes and comments, drowning out the rest of the discussion. Do you have ideas on how to combat this? Obviously moderator intervention would help, but it's not possible to be everywhere, especially in the first couple minutes of a post when the temptation to leave a lazy comment and the cost to the overall direction of discussion from such a comment is the greatest.

I don’t mean to downplay this, but it’s similar to the migrant worker booms across the globe over past decades.

For example, people from Central America trek up at risk of their lives through dangerous drug lord territories to get to US states where they can work illegally for less than minimum wage, then send that money back to their families because they can make much more doing that than they could at home and may have no other choice.

The working and living conditions can be terrible, and answer is not to deport them or make their conditions worse; that hurts the host country as well as the workers and creates more division. Similar workers boosted the US culturally and economically because industry and governments embraced them for labor and taxes.
