Your comment and the original post do not provide evidence to prove any of your points either (either way).

I am saying: why hasn't a strategy like this been tried before if it seems so obvious to you both?

I see it as a sign that an expert in one domain believes they can solve a complex issue in another domain without much effort. In other words, as mentioned above, I see them/you as having fallen victim to the fallacy of transferable expertise: believing they/you can solve domain specific problems in a domain in which they/you are not an in expert in - as made obvious by the fact that this proposal is stated without any links to current research/plans (which undoubtedly do exist).

I think the above is important to point out, mostly as someone who fell victim to both, and who wants to warn others who might still be unconscious perpetuators of the Californian Ideology. It's dangerous. This excerpt does a good job at explaining it (although for a proper tl;dr version/critique, the best part is probably the 'As the Dam Bursts...' intro):

"Across the world, the Californian Ideology has been embraced as an optimistic and emancipatory form of technological determinism. Yet, this utopian fantasy of the West Coast depends upon its blindness towards - and dependence on - the social and racial polarisation of the society from which it was born. Despite its radical rhetoric, the Californian Ideology is ultimately pessimistic about fundamental social change. Unlike the hippies, its advocates are not struggling to build 'ecotopia' or even to help revive the New Deal. [...] Interpreted generously, this retro-futurism could be a vision of a cybernetic frontier where digital artisans discover their individual self-fulfillment in either the electronic agora or the electronic marketplace. However, as the zeitgeist of the 'virtual class', the Californian Ideology is at the same time an exclusive faith. If only some people have access to the new information technologies, 'Jeffersonian democracy' can become a hi-tech version of the plantation economy of the Old South. Reflecting its deep ambiguity, the Californian Ideology's technological determinism is not simply optimistic and emancipatory. It is simultaneously a deeply pessimistic and repressive vision of the future." [1]

Is this about OAuth or OAuth2? Despite their similar names, the two systems have almost nothing in common and the headline should be clear.

Edit: Clicked and it's about OAuth2, but also OpenIDConnect (an extension to OAuth2, but actually a distinct protocol)

> From a pentesting point of view, whenever you test an OAuth application, there is a good chance that the target server also supports OpenID

Again playing very loose with the terminology. OpenID (no "Connect") is yet another completely unrelated protocol.

> Attempts such as Esperanto and others were never carried out with enough skills or resources.

That is a dubious claim. The truth of the matter is that there is no economic benefit in learning Esperanto over learning English as a second language, and (comparatively) very little cultural benefit. Learning English unlocks a vast world of literature, media, and communication in addition to the basic marketable skill its proficiency entails. Esperanto? Not so much.

The only way to force the use of Esperanto or any artificial language is to force children to learn it worldwide. That's something you might expect in North Korea (if they were so inclined), but most people would rightly dismiss it as a mostly pointless exercise.

Angular does not use decorators to manage state. It uses decorators to create compile-time instructions for the dependency injection system to wire components, services, and directives together (I'm simplifying a bit here). Should TypeScript ever drop their decorator implementation, this could all be fairly easily changed to do it with functions instead:

export class AppComponent { }

export const appComponent = Component(AppComponent, {
template: '<h1>Hello World!>/h1>
// other compile-time instructions
});

How you want to approach runtime state has nothing to do with decorators.

So I don't know why you're linking a US study when I specifically said UK where the emissions are 300g/kWh in some areas, but ok, I mean I can do this too.

Where I'm from(Poland) the biggest power plant is the Bełchatów power plant, which burns lignite for power - the CO2 emissions per kWh generated from that power plant are about 1kg/kWh produced[1]. At such an insane CO2 emissions rate even the most efficient EV - let's take a Model 3 - is worse than a modern petrol car.

According to this site[0] Model 3 is incredibly efficient, using only 11.9kWh for every 100km travelled. So that's about 120Wh per km. If you're getting electricity from the Bełchatów power plant, that also means that Tesla is "emitting" 120g of CO2/km travelled.

There are many modern cars that have their CO2/km emissions at less than 120g of CO2/km. But even if they are slightly above that, it doesn't change the fact that the emissions from driving an EV are not zero like some people say they are. Even if we go back to the UK and use that 300g of CO2/kWh figure, the Tesla is still emitting 40g of CO2/km travelled. That's not zero.

By "narrative", I assume you mean the idea that "Covid doesn't affect the young by very much".

Taken as a proportion of total Covid deaths, that is very true.

Given that practically no young people die in developed countries, it doesn't take much to make a big change to the excess mortality figure for that age group.

Over these years a lot of words and characters got banned, some with good intention like to stop lewd or not-suit-for-kiids content from spreading, most other times with intention to stop people from talking about things CCP not willing to let people discuss about.

If you can read Chinese, you will found that on some forums people are like talking with magic spells, in extreme cases, whole paragraph or article is composed of word/characters that pronounce same but looks different, or just looks similar enough so people understand what it implys.

Even if Chinese is my native language I can't read ciphertext of that level.

Talking about censorship, I'd like to share my 2 cents. For some time I had been actively browsing Zhihu (a Chinese knowledge sharing social platform), even posting and talking with the users. It's around a decade ago, the censorship back then was much looser. I am a Taiwanese, we even talked about a political incident which is basically Taiwanese people protesting about the ruling signing CSSTA... some Chinese agree, some do not, some just left hatred comments, but people back then was really talking and sharing opiinion. You find no more stuff like this now, the censorship got strengthened over years, a lot of topics are risky and people would rather not talk about it.

It's a pretty subtle point, but the author is saying that "some words were originally written in kanji", while I'm noting that for a word like ここ, that's only true if you include the time when everything was originally written kanji. So the statement is technically correct, but IMHO rather misleading, since (the man'yogana pre-kana period aside) it's generally quite rare for word to make the leap from kanji to kana.

An even more subtle point is that kanji usage is fluid, so it's perfectly correct to write many words as kanji or kana, but with subtle shifts in meaning. For example, いい and 良い are both "good", but the latter is more formal and may even be read differently (yoi vs ii).

In my experience most places were hesitant because they didn't have the change in the cash register. Anywhere busy with a full register accepted £50 notes happily.

edit: to add to that, it used to be that £1 coins were the most forged in sterling cash. I can't say if that's still the case, but at one point it felt like 1 in 3 pound coins were a fake.
> But it didn’t fall apart.

Barely. I mean... just look at what is going on in the Suez Canal, which is at the moment blocked by a mega freighter which had crashed into the walls and run aground: millions of dollars of damage and delays risking cascade effects in the harbors. Or how car factories all over the world are having issues because TSMC can't keep up with chip demands (and the car manufacturers having slashed orders during 'rona).

What makes it worse is that there are a number of conflicts that could escalate into open wars: the whole situation with China's aggressive imperialism (not just Taiwan), the powder keg Iran/Turkey/Syria/Israel, many countries in South America slowly or openly collapsing... at least some of these can drag the entire world's economy with them, one way or the other.

This argument about code inspection does not make sense to me. The number of people who are going to even have the ability to inspect the code of the applications they use is infitesimal and of that small number the people who have time and inclination to do so is microscopic. Given that applications are complex, written by groups of programmers over extended time what is the chance of meaningful code review by an individual? It could take years for a single application.

I don’t know if Free software makes software less secure but I don’t see how it makes it more secure? Especially given that security might not be a high priority for the authors.

I’m not a programmer so it’s hard for me to understand the arguments, but from what I gather is that any popular software could be a vector for threats and that users themselves remain the biggest vector.

The author suggests greater use of code signing could help. It also seems to me that progress towards computer security needs to be the province of large, well resourced organizations.

Our own (US) government seems to not be prioritizing this correctly, preferring to maintain their own exploits at the cost of defense. This is a political problem. It is of a piece with the historical arrogance of the US security-military apparatus that is being badly outplayed, mistaking pure military superiority as the most important type of security.

"but are appalled that RMS was reappointed to the board"

That's the problem. RMS did never harass a woman in his entire life; he may have expressed comments that today, especially in the post #metoo era, appear as inconvenient, but that's it; does he deserve to be painted like he was a sexual assaulter (which he is not, has never been, not even close) by multiple sides at the same time? Why all that negative press? Doesn't this raise some warning flags?

The reason looks very clear to me: he is stubbornly inflexible in his concept of what Free Software means, which is an extremely good thing; he kept the helm straight no matter the external pressure to stop, where others would have sold themselves and the community for 30 pieces of silver. There are huge interests in "killing" him publicly, which would mean destroying the Free Software movement, sell out the Foundation and giving full powers to whomever has to gain big money from that. Just follow the money trail.
I disagree. The company has a responsibility to set rules around when it's ok to call people. Especially for junior employees it's very hard to decline calls from their managers late in the evening.

This has become a bigger issue as all communication is via phone or computer. Before, a lot was via personal interaction which just wasn't possible once you left the office. Now, no one really knows if someone is working or has already called it a day at any given point.

This time the big investors (mainly Amazon) and the founder of Deliveroo have actually admitted their intention to sell before they list this stock.

Oh and that 'generous' £50m stock allocation they are offering the public [0] before the majority investors all sell, combined with a heavily loss making company AND the historic employee classification that the supreme court ruled against Uber [1] recently in the UK?

Cocktail for a blindingly obvious scam in broad daylight, and they know it. Just look at how $DASH turned out.

This is an easy no buy even when the scam has been admitted to the public and retail investors.

Take heed this advice.

The standard probation period is six months in the UK. I haven't encountered two years yet, is that even legal? And it's called probation period for a reason, it's a time for both sides to figure out if the arrangement works out and be able to quit with no or little notice otherwise. After that, 3 months notice periods are completely normal so it's good to not get locked into that from day one.

There are enough companies that allow business phones for personal use (can be great to save costs) which means you always have your business phone with you.

I have carried £50 notes (and accepted £50 notes when I had jobs while studying) and the only occasions I've seen them refused is when there wasn't enough change in the cash register.

Scottish and other non-English sterling is another matter. Despite being legal tender in England, smaller shops don't see it frequently enough to want to take the risk handling them.
You need to read the article before about the neuter gender in all indo-european languages.

And it needs to be discussed why german, greek and slavic kept it, and why the most modern, english, stripped all genders, but came from one of the most conservative family, german.
In fact northern german is much more modern than the others. It did several radical simplifying transformations, leading to english in the end. (Simplifications = modern)
Even leaving the modern roman languages behind. Which probably has Rumanian as it's most modern part. Simpler than french, italian, spanish.
I'm not talking about contractual probation periods. There's a universal two year threshold after which you get extra protections, and before which you can be fired for any reason that's not specifically discriminatory on race, gender, etc + some other very narrow cases. Pretty similar to what 'at will' means in the US. We just have a short statutory notice period.

My story is basically the same (except iTunes was mpd in my case) but I'm seriously considering moving back because of the music quality. I don't consider myself anything close to "audiophile" but the dynamic range of streamed music (at least for spotify) makes for a terrible experience when played at rather high volume over speakers. The difference to CD-ripped mp3 is immense.

Messing with the few options offered by the spotify client didn't help either. I'm mostly looking for a solution to use my music libary with a streaming service as drop-in for missing tracks.

While the puzzle has been solved and it turned out to be real mind bender, it may be the end result that that killer may have wanted all along.
