Neither Cyberduck nor WinSCP seem to be able to do parallel transfers as well as FileZilla can, especially over SFTP - i.e. FileZilla is about twice as fast downloading from a server ~300ms away than WinSCP is, and this is on a gigabit connection.
German would definitely be problematic but it's still likely to be one of the least affected, especially in the English -> German direction, and nearly every word would at least has a clear translation. Virtually any sentence in an SOV (or less common, OSV) language would be essentially unworkable while maintaining word order.
Why build dams that you will have to destroy afterwards? You only need dams if you have to increase water height. In this case, dredging the canal seems easier to me.

Also, this is an extreme case of time = money. I would guess building and destroying such dams would take months, if only to get the machinery there.
or the deadwood that gets protected because they belong to an union. Or unions being against remote work because that'd reduce employee control. Or union leadership just using their membership to laze around. Or union opposing projects they don't like. Or union harassing (including physically) managers. And to say nothing of railway union who apparently have a Mission to gridlock the country every few years (usually around the time someone in the government check the deficits of the railways)

The pricing for the click might kill off any benefit over less targeted advertising though. I poked around in keyword planner, and one click for some rolex related phrases costs $3-$10. I imagine you would have to do quite a lot of expensive experimentation to figure out how to make that profitable.
I see. That makes more sense. I understood from another post that you were also passing it along to another service.
To be fair I can't see a nation doing so except as a last resort because trying to enforce it would cause a lot of turmoil.

I think that you slipped a decimal point. The mass of a cubic foot of hydrogen is about 0.00236 kg, not 0.000236 [1]. That means that the output power is an order of magnitude greater than you calculated -- 173 megawatts.

* There are 6.1 million tonnes of uranium in reasonably assured deposits (World Nuclear Uranium)

* There are 6.3 million tonnes of thorium in reasonably assured deposits (World Nuclear Thorium)

* Uranium exists in seawater at an average concentration of 0.003 ppm (also World Nuclear Uranium)

* There are about 332 million cubic miles of water on Earth, 96.5% of it is in the ocean (USGS). At a density of 1 gram/cm3, this comes out to 1.4 yottagrams of water, or 1.4e21 kg)

* At 0.003 ppm, this means there are about 4000 million tonnes of uranium in seawater

There is effectively zero thorium in seawater. Seawater uranium extraction with breeder reactors is likely to be more economical than harvesting low-grade thorium from the crust.
You can be a fake academic and build a career on plagiarism. However, stealing someone’s identity is dangerous, as academic fields tend to be quite small social networks, and someone is bound to notice. It’s also much more difficult to wiggle out of identity theft lawsuits than universities’ ethics rules.

> Dogs, cats, foxes, mink and horses aren't endangered either

And that's why I see no ethical issue there.

> if you're offended by the way other countries treat certain animals, you should think about if your use of animal products really aligns with your core beliefs

Being offended by something doesn't make it immoral though, it just makes it not advisable. I'm Italian and I grew up consuming rabbit meat and sometimes horse meat, my wife comes from a cultural background (Northern Thailand) where rabbit meat consumption is frowned upon, and I live in an anglophone country (Australia) where eating horse meat is taboo. So I don't consume either one of those. But I don't think it's immoral consuming them, I don't think my relatives in Italy who are still eating rabbit and horse are doing something immoral.
Most sedans, and hatchbacks are already made using "car platforms" by major manufacturers, which are manufactured in ennormous quantities for maximum economies of scale, and are shared by a dozen or so car models per platform.

Platform kits are then only customized with body panells, interior, and a badge by the car brand.
The funnest part is the corporate jargon resulting from history or just the vertical they are in. I worked at one company that had used teletypes to location that had a charge per character. This lead to an official abbreviation sheet. This had two effects later on. One, old timers kept using the abbreviations into the e-mail age. The second was some of the abbreviated words became part of the corporate jargon. This lead to some serious confusion when spoken abbreviations are used in place of the full words. Some actions were abbreviated and said in a couple of syllables.
Yeah, and I'm sure the author of this article worked hard to find that one paydirt quote which feeds its audiences' preconceptions... especially if the stats about how expats voted in the Brexit referendum someone else posted are correct. (Or maybe they didn't even bother? I've never heard of this news site, it looks like a generic WordPress theme and it's registered anonymously. All the usual fake news warning signs are there but it just fits everyone's preconceptions so well...)

> I thought I'd read somewhere (but can't find the source now) that around the Cold War or thereabouts, trade with China was seen as a way of "exporting capitalism" to undermine support for communism there. If so, that... hasn't worked.

Hasn't it? It has not succeeded in making China an ally, but modern China is communist in name only.
I wrote my first computer program on an 8" floppy. I had signed up for a course in BASIC at my high school, in 1981. The school had a computer facility with access to a mainframe operated by the county school district.

We had these machines made by IBM, that emulated a keypunch machine, but stored the data on an 8" floppy. They had the same keyboard layout as a keypunch, and a one-line alphanumeric display. The idea was that a skilled keypunch operator could start using floppies with no retraining.

You entered your program and handed the disk to the operator, and received your printout later. You could do one or two debug cycles during a class period, maybe three if you came in later during the day, after which the operator's patience wore out and you were told to write your program more carefully. In reality, they were probably doing this work as a favor for the math teacher who was teaching the class.

The next semester, the school got some CRT terminals, but there were five terminals for a class of about 15 kids, hand picked by the math teacher. I still remember my user name and password.

I wrote a program that generated mazes, and when I thought it was working OK, I set it to print out a maze the size of a sheet of green bar paper. Next day, I got a big scolding for creating an endless loop. But in reality, my program was OK and I learned a lesson about complexity -- my program probably had some insanely high order like O(n^3) or even worse.

I don't know of anybody remembers or noticed, but I remember taking some of my first plane flights, and the person behind the ticket desk was typing very quickly on their terminal, but with just their index fingers. That's keypunch technique.

Great. I just finished reading [2034: A Novel of the Next World War](https://www.amazon.com/2034-Novel-Next-World-War-ebook/dp/B0...) by Elliot Ackerman and James Stavridis. It was not a cheerful book.
So let me get this straight. You are opposed to workers organizing, because in doing so the unions might show some of the same problems that are already an issue in organizations and the ownership which is naturally always organized.

Seem like a strawman, worker conditions are light years ahead where workers are organized.

You sound like someone arguing against companies or capitalism because tax evasion exists saying “maybe there’s a case for textbook capitalism but in reality it doesn’t work” when we have literal proof that not capitalism and unions work. Nothing is perfect and ofcause unions can be better and companies can as well. But the net effect of unions is positive, and they form naturally in every place where you don’t allow anti-union policies and anti union worker discrimination.
Sure, they can operate without 5G, but I can see strong benefits to having connectivity. Traffic, construction, road changes happen and fully automated needs to know where it’s going. It seems like a must to me, and definitely assumed for any future car platforms.

Tangent: it’d be fun to see a what corporate PR releases look like when rephrased into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English.
To me, the problem with both corporate jargon and this list are that they're each an odd affectation that doesn't make communication clearer.

Just because something is bad doesn't mean that suggestions about replacing said thing would lead to improvement. I'm somewhat annoyed by programming languages where whitespace matters, but it would be wildly missing the point to propose a language where underscores serve the same purpose as whitespace, and one must indent with the correct number of leading underscores at the start of a line, etc.
Well, yes, that's what they voted for. It's like the main thing in brexit. Also the writing in this article is dogshit.
Not sure about not able to understand, but as you age, you've been through a couple of technological and societal shifts (or "revolutions") and your patience runs thin to adapt to the currently hot (not necessarily better) one.

In this case, literally is there for a reason, albeit, imprecisely. It implies you can actually get sandpaper at the hardware store and use that to physically sand leather down like one sands wood. Rather that some specialty tool or process.

And until we start killing cows and discarding the carcass just for the leather, I can't imagine the processing is any worse than synthetic, usually petroleum based substitutes.
I'd suspect the latter. I'm surprised the language test isn't an issue, I'm told it's been a significant issue in times past.

Edit: I went reading. If you didn't get a padron (local residency certificate for your municipality) and hadn't formalised your status before brexit, (which, if you were working cash in hand is very likely), you would be behind a wall of prove-it processes which are based in paperwork, in Spanish. Where's your spanish drivers licence. Where's your tax file number. Where's your pre brexit registration. Prove you've been here.

Various expat assistance agencies have spent months offering people $ services to help them get through, including handy advice like be polite and dress smart and don't shout at the officials..

The overwhelming majority of longterm residents will have gone through the steps. The newspaper story is about the people who were never going to get over the line I suspect.

My language test theory has little to do with it.
So basically they have figured out a way to keep a larger part of the pie from e.g. those randomly named PRC sellers?

I may be slow here, but couldn't they just instead have raised the percentage they charge for sales? (Are those "external sales" really that large?)
Done! Here you go:

Suraurwanda, meaning “visit Rwanda” in honor of the growing tourism sector in Rwanda, was born into Mafunzo’s group on Nov. 30, 2018. His mother is Taraja, and because Mafunzo is the only adult male of the group, we do not need genetic testing to prove he is the father.
PRC/ROC dynamic is formally an unfinished civil war, it's diplomatically a domestic issue between two governments representing one China, where recognition is mutually exclusive. The current peace / détente is held together by a bunch of incongruous agreements, i.e. article 8 & 92 consensus between PRC/ROC, three communiqués between PRC/US, TW relations act between ROC/US to make the current arrangement somewhat workable. I don't think even "peaceful" legal options exist at UN anymore, article 18 can add new members with 2/3 vote, but resolution 2758 that changed UN recognition from ROC to PRC precludes Taiwanese politicians from joining as they are technically representatives of a Chinese province. There would need to be overhaul of UN, modern IR and Westphalian sovereignty system for TW to exist as a separate country from PRC which isn't likely to happen with PRC influence. Formal TW recognition (and derecognition of PRC) by outside parties still does not change civil war dynamic which can't be ended unilaterally by one party or outside parties. There's no way out but to fight and win for TW, and win sufficiently to be able to dictate terms to PRC and have PRC surrender agreed formally so as to enable the creation two separate sovereign states. Even then it doesn't change underlying PRC desire to regain Taiwan, whether that's resumption of civil war, via illegal war, or declaration of legal war. TW independence is a military problem, I think people are deluding themselves if they belief there's a political two country solution, especially by third parties.

What makes you (or those in the article) an expatriate rather than an immigrant?
I think it's instructive watching people try and use their default problem solving technique to solve the problem

A LOT of people appear to solve problems via blame. As in if we can just get people to agree that the Chinese people did something BAD then the problem is fixed.

People that work that way are really married to it. And very resistant to rethinking things.

Full disclosure, as an old crusty engineer when I see a small problem that looks like it could become a big intractable one, I reach for the biggest hammer I can get my fingers around.
Because they think they will not be affected, only others would be? Not saying this is correct, just that they probably think this
It’s always the “others”.

Someone I know recently lamented that their daughter (who has a physical disability) would no longer qualify for certain subsidies for a prosthesis because they don’t have a job. However the daughter’s husband does have a full time job, and the daughter home schools her daughter. They still qualify for some SNAP benefits (food stamps). The idea that The State wouldn’t make an allowance for this situation was galling to them. I agreed. But within 5 minutes they were back to complaining about welfare queens who don’t have jobs.
It's interesting to see Free Software try to enact the same kinds of moats (purposefully limited interoperability) as proprietary software to cement control of the ecosystem. All very "ends justify the means".

I'm more understanding of purposely limited interfaces for the kernel because of the support burden on maintainers caused by crashes from proprietary modules.

Weather unions would be anti stock option or not is debatable, certainly not a fact, and the tweet is absolutely clear cut a threat that workers would lose them if they unionized independent of what the union would do.
My favorite is that they mark all sorts of sh*t important when it's important to them and not to me. Fo instance, test results, not important, just you have a message... we want to make you an offer? important!
The nice thing about FileZilla is that you don't have to qualify which OS you're using. Now it's "Grab WinSCP if you're using Windows, X if Linux, Y if macOS. Now here are 3 separate pages we probably didn't keep up to date on how to connect and download what you need from our servers."
At least it would solve the space vs tab issue.
>War games are always sensitive and outcomes are closely guarded because they can reveal shortfalls in US military plans and operations.

So all war games are typically classified. I don’t understand what makes this special or why this justifies an article?
8" were very floppy. ;-)

We, in Silicon Valley, used "floppies" to mean "5.25 or 3.5 inch disks." (Confusing, yes?)

And, we used "disks" to mean "any type of storage media, fixed or removable."

Also, "diskettes" meant "the formal name of 3.5 inch floppies."

I think this is the same nomenclature.

I don't know how to speak on behalf of "people" in general but I know that I personally am in favor of some solution that weeds out misinformation while still giving all political parties voices.

If you want to talk policy, values, goals, and agenda, go for it. If you want to talk hate or amplify things known to be factually untrue, you should be fact checked loudly and clearly, and if that doesn't change what you are saying, you should not get to say it any more.

Now how to achieve that is of course a completely different issue and seems quite difficult...
They are people driven by the same bullshit nativist propaganda.

I live in a very democratic city. My neighbor down the block is a ~45 year old retired first responder due to a disabling knee injury. He’s mostly at home watching cable news during the week and transformed into a die-hard “conservative”, with the flags, stickers, etc.

Great guy, but deluded by propaganda. We usually talk fishing and baseball, as our sons play together. I avoid political talk at all times as the irony of a young, disabled former unionized government employee with free healthcare is both anti-gov and anti-union is too much for me.
Presumably that’s because they’re only selling to people that can’t wait a few months to buy a new machine.
Anyone remember Norton Utilities Disk Editor? That thing was awesome, not only could you hex edit files, you could edit the filesystem too:

https://flylib.com/books/en/4.53.1.74/1/

These days I have no need to edit filesystems and for regular files I either use `hexdump -C` or Emacs hexl-mode.

I will definitely take a look at this as it looks interesting.

EDIT: I guess this is as good a reason as any to finally upgrade to Big Sur.

That's a valid point.

Is that even a thing these days? I seem to recall Google making changes to the notification system a few releases back that should have addressed that. Then again, I usually stick to apps distributed via F-Droid so I don't know what the typical user has to deal with.

I skim the prospectus summary before skipping to the financials (index to consolidated financials) and the notes below them. (The notes are where red flags are hidden.) I then skim the description of capital stock, principal and selling stockholders and related party transactions for scumminess.

Finally, if nothing there looks off-putting, the MD&A. (If management is screwy, the MD&A is easier to manipulate than the above sections.)
I'm not saying they don't need the internet, just that 5G is specifically for super high speed internet. Why can't 4G do all that? Or your home wifi connection at night?

I migrated off of and sold my smartthings hub after they went cloud only. I am all on Home Assistant now. It does require tinkering from time to time but once things are working, you usually never have to touch it. But when you go all in on HA, i would recommend going with an Intel nuc or other small machine. I used the raspberry pi 3b for a while and it was just a little sluggish sometimes. The new pi 4 is probably fine. But i also had sd card issues from time to time and HA is very write intensive once you start logging everything.
