That's a real stretch. "Voluntarily" and "authoritarianism" are opposites.

But that's beside the point. I'm not saying anyone is unwelcome or should leave. In fact, I think it would be best if people could coexist in the same organization while agreeing to disagree.

But the fact of the matter is that these people already resigning. So instead of just doing nothing after they resign or working for some company, they should create their own group that's more in line with their ideals.
I suppose I can understand if some people are put off by it, but I do not think that I should have been told this in front of the entire class like that. I have not felt more ashamed in my entire life than I did then. She should have talked to me about it in private, perhaps after lesson or something I do not know, but not shaming me in front of the entire class like that.
> those who had the Aeron chair

I was always a “pay for your own telework stuff if you want to telework” kind of person, but after teleworking for a year in a crappy chair, I really wish my org would buy me decent office equipment. I took a chair and a desk for granted. And it seems like a good deal for orgs if employees all start buying their chairs and desks and whatnot.

Four Must-Haves Before You Advertise Your Startup's Product
Interesting post, but I disagree with the conclusion that with a bit of work AI could take down the best Geoguessrs. The best players already take into account all the metadata like camera quality and distinctive features of the Google car. Furthermore, they would surely have an edge in urban locations where proximate locations are visible in street-signs. I could be proven wrong though, and it would be super interesting to reverse engineer AI guesses that turn out to be surprisingly correct based off little info.

To see just how good the top players are at instantly recognising a country using these clues, then check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmoAYpTJuA . Or maybe don't if you don't want the game spoiled!
>>High denomination bank notes are very useful for tax evasion

How so? And if this is an actual, real problem...then stop printing them? What's the point of making currency that normal citizens have issues using?

I just don't undestand it on some fundamental level. Where I'm from(Poland)_200PLN(about £40) notes are very common in circulation, and if you were to pay for a 5PLN loaf of bread with a 200PLN banknote I can guarantee literally no one would bat an eyelid. It's a common and completely normal banknote to use.

Yet in UK, where people make more money on average and also buy more expensive things, the £50 is some alien piece of paper that most Brits have never even seen. The only other place which treats its own currency with such disdain is Germany where I saw signs on petrol stations sayng they don't accept 500 Euro notes. Well if you don't, then why even have them? What's the point? The government should be going after all retailers who don't accept any official currency, because that seems like the very basis of working currency system.
What are you talking about? The US doesn't give carte blanche either. Discrimination law exists. Other labor laws exist. Exactly as this article refers to as being 'not carte blanche' in the UK.

'At will' in the US and the 2 year qualifying period in the UK are practically identical, apart from that the UK has a 2-week statutory notice period. The protections that remain in both the US and UK are almost entirely about protected classes. Even the classes themselves are virtually the same.

"Have they been there less than 2 years?" is the first thing legal will ask you when you want to sack someone in the UK. It's a wholly different status to being protected after the period.

On Linux, you'd have to do some kind of GNOME integration I am not familiar with. The Windows shell integration is a very handy API, although you have to do the usual digging for explanations and examples.
I am greatly opposed to mass surveillance, especially when justified by some immaterial bogeyman such as "stopping terrorism".

However in this case, illegal immigration is a legitimate problem in the US with actual statistics to prove so, and it seems that they are only targetting individuals that they actually suspect of being criminals.

If law enforcement has genuine belief that I am a criminal then why would I be opposed to giving them data to absolve myself?

And yes of course this has the potential to be abused, but is there any proof of this in the article? It seems like one specific individual was targetted, and they had the courtesy to notify them that this was happening.
My parents had a saying when I was little: “every rule can be traced back to at least one asshole”... I believe google had some incidents (people) that resulted it needing to dial back the openness...
HPE vs. Mike Lynch High Court case – complete recap
I'd speculate differently. Americans commute by car, audiobooks are convenient to read while driving. Japanese commute by train, which is much more suitable to looking at a book (paper or electronic).

Also, Manga is massively popular, and that form doesn't covert well (or at all) to audiobook.
Well, obviously I'm joshing a little, since there are certainly more than three worth the listen, and no "top 3" can be definitively argued. For example, I actually prefer Karajan's 1951 recording with the Philharmonia, and of the more sprightly renditions I go for the Christopher Hogwood (1997) with the Academy of Ancient Music, which is salient not merely for its instrumentation but also the interplay of the ensemble.

Nevertheless, for my personally selected essential version, I'll always nominate Erich Kleiber (1950, Decca) with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Once heard, never forgotten, it is spine chilling.

His son Carlos's is better known, but I think it's a goofy misreading.

Bonus: the Liszt transcription for piano reveals fascinating details that otherwise tend to submerge in the symphonic effusion. There's a pleasing version on Youtube purporting to be from Glenn Gould, but note that the provenance is disputed.
There exist cellular and wireless cards for PCs too, and still a Linux PC is on our side. But if that's somehow not enough:

You could use proof-carrying code or reproducible artifacts to keep the radio stack out of the users' control while still making it obvious what it is that radio stack does.

The BIOS analog would then only accept radio code that behaves in a particular way, but it would be clear from the (open) source that the radio code is not spying on you.
To answer your other question: stories are pushed off the front page either by users flagging them or admins manually removing them. In any case, I'm interested in stories with a lot of activity that get thrown off the front page. I often find them insightful and it would be a pity if they were lost.
Yeah, it's a common joke in German that you can't tell someone's gender by looking at their face:
the nose is female ("die Nase"), the mouth is male ("der Mund") and the eyes are neuter ("das Auge") :D
Just to add to this, simplified forms are mostly confined to Joyo kanji. The old forms do, however, exert their existence even in modern kanji as sub-pieces of (mostly rarer) other kanji---e.g. 専 used to be written 專, which still exists as the right half of 慱.

Also, there are lots of cases where the "simple" modern form doesn't really seem all that much simpler when viewing it in a typeface. My ad-hoc hypothesis is that these simplifications were considered with handrwiting in mind, e.g. 戻 (modern) vs. 戾 (original).
I think that was, at least partly, his intent. He even stated in the letter accompanying his first cipher that it would contain his identity, then when it was deciphered it said "I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NAME BECAUSE YOU WILL TRY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP MY COLLECTING OF SLAV(E)S FOR MY AFTER LIFE".

Closest thing to foobar2000 is Clementine, an Amarok 1 fork...

The media library features are almost as good, if not for a nasty bug where using the filter in the library "tree view" can lock the app for many seconds for no reason. The normal search window/panel is not affected and is always instantaneous tough.

I've tested dozens of media players on linux, most choke on my huge library, but clementine is perfectly capable. It also has the same feature of adding new files automatically via inotify, along every other functionality you specified in your post!

It also seems to be lacking maintainers.. it has been on the same run of rc releases for years now! That means that bugs have creeped up unfortunately, but honestly, nothing better for people who really cares for their oversized music library.
I love the idea. I can only register if I am in USA?
The public in general does not have a voice. If you defend Stallman directly under your real name, you will be canceled as a fellow traveler.

jwz was not talking about the age, he was talking about the issue of ignoring bugs to the point where they reach decades old, and often even then persist and go unfixed. Some bugs live multiple decades, across three different issue trackers, having to be reopened each time.

The fun fact is that he wrote this in 2003, about the GNOME developers. Not much has changed in 20 years, it seems.

It's quite simple really: small scale logistics (per restaurant) doesn't work and it especially doesn't work for low value transactions.

It's either too expensive, not reliable ("we ran out of delivery people, please wait 2 hrs") or just not available at all.

Sharing the delivery network across restaurants theoretically allows it to spread the load and solve those issues.

The problems come when one company is in control of that network and has a profit motive. The solution here is for restaurants to band together and take control of their logistics.
You also have to add the inherent instability and fragility of the JIT supply chain system.

Most JIT supply chains can't be deviated more than about 5%-10% variance of volume without becoming abruptly nonlinear. Normal JIT is dependent on being within a narrow range of linear operation. Add positive and negative feedback loops and you have a super fragile system that can be easily disrupted.

Sure, but that's not what was said above:

"The cities we live in are hundreds, if not thousands of years old. The idea of that a 15 minute city has any bearing on real life is sadly laughable."

The two sentences don't make sense together. Those old cities were "15 minute" cities by necessity - easy long distance travel wasn't a thing until the industrial revolution. We've since redesigned many of them for car use, and in some cases realized the mistake and redesigned them again (Amsterdam, for example).
That's accurate of other countries. Excess death outside of 75+ people who had a few more years left is zero.

I'm exaggerating slightly, but after going on holiday to Switzerland, the coffee vendor doesn't need to give any change for a thousand francs.

(Serious price comparison: I walked over the St Bernard's pass from Switzerland to Italy. In Switzerland, we paid €6.50 for mediocre commercial ice cream. Over the border in Italy, €2 for the most incredible gelato. Although it may be that walking down a mountain to get it improves your perception of an ice-cream.)
However, eventually I also want to install updates. Unfortunately, on numerous occasions these updates have rendered the system unbootable. This is not a worthwhile tradeoff.

Are these "updates" or "upgrades"? If the problems are with updates, I would say that your experience is not typical of most Linux users.

Its a shame that you are having problems because the modern Linux experience is pretty slick.
After seeing every single member of the Fortune 500 shill for BLM last summer, this analysis rings true. Corporate power doesn't care about black lives, as several of the most adamant BLM shills run business models predicated significantly on black lives dying in cobalt mines and/or the associated sectarian wars over resources, or on busting unions of largely African immigrant labor.

Similarly, it's laughable to think that the FOSS community members who work for Apple, IBM, Amazon, Google, or anyone else on that list would give a single shit about some socially-inept guy making awkward passes at women while they quietly endorse whatever China feels like doing to the Uyghurs or Hong Kong dissidents, and quietly cover up the endless sexual harassment scandals of their own C-suites.

It's never been about social justice. Social Justice is a convenient tool they've found to further entrench their naked power. Don't think for half a second that they wouldn't immediately ditch it to support Hitler Part Deux if their internal strategy analysis indicated that doing so would gain them more power, control, and profits.

On topic: I think the comments already give a broad overview of what to expect, and not the idealized but non-existent average. Though a lot posted here seems to be quite generic; I know some issues first hand though I never worked at a company that could compare to Google on matters of size (similarities might be related to the composition of employees and the maturity of the product and processes).
(Not a lawyer but from my 1 module at uni) I belive that you are correct on both counts. Scottish bank notes are NOT legal tender anywhere and on one has to accept them except the issuing retail bank.[1]

So retailers can reject them for the same reason as when you see something labelled with the wrong price. The shop keeper is under no obligation to sell it to you for that price.

What you actually see is a reference for you, the customer, to initiate an offer to buy something at that price.

If the shop keeper doesn't like the look or you money or the price your offering he can reject the deal.

As far as legal tender goes that only applies to the settling of debts and a retailer could reject an offer to sell they don't like even if you do offer legal tender.

Even Bank of England copper coins are only legal tender up to something like the value of 20p. So you can't take a truck load of copper coins to your landlord to pay for rent in arrears.
