Any server not configured to reply with permissive CORS headers doesn't want to handle your cross-origin requests. I.e they are not "public areas" for anyone to consume but serve just their own front end.

CORS is a security measure to make it safe to consume cross-origin servers from browsers, both with and without credentials. Otherwise, with credentials you could read client data for some other service. and without credentials you could just use that service's resources without having permission. CORS gives the service operator a method to give permission.

Querying other servers from your back end is another story entirely. CORS isn't required there but also, your server doesn't have access to any of the credentials available in the browser so you wouldn't be able to get any client-specific data. You can get any other data of course, but because this is a server it's easier to block, perhaps by IP or adding captcha.
As the article notes, at least in the UK, taxes in the 50's were three times as high. As someone who has distilled alcohol in a garage before, it's incredibly labor intensive at small scales. Brewing beer is doable, but it is not "extremely easy" by any measure, especially if the goal is reasonably decent tasting beer. Alcohol taxes would need to be extremely high before black market alcohol became an issue of any significance.

"statistically proven reality" is an oxymoron - past outperformance of passive funds (statistics) are no guarantee of future returns (reality).

Some of the math surrounding the derivation of the weakest forms of EMT also relies on the assumption that everyone has access to the same information, which is patently false in the world we live in. Even retail traders sometimes have an information edge (e.g. working at a biotech company or a specialized industry like semiconductors)

That’s correct. Had I not mossed the edit window, I would have updated the grandparent: the US has a more complicated relationship with UNCLOS.

In short: it didn’t sign because of objections to Part XI, signed an Agreement regarding implementation of Part XI that it cannot formally accede to without acceding to the Convention, hasn't acceded to either, and is arguably (given the incorporation of the Convention’s purposes in the Agreement) in a generally similar position to a non-ratifying signatory of the Convention by virtue of being such with respect to the Agreement.

Yes but it's also a fair point that a lot of actively-managed mutual funds out there don't beat low-cost index funds.
It’s the same thing in the US. Credit cards are popular in the US because due to far higher payment processing, people in the US can earn lots of cash back or other rewards. Of course, many Americans also purchase things by actually using the credit on their credit cards and paying interest on it, but you can easily go through life never paying interest to a credit card company.

The numeric value known as a “credit score” is simply a number that someone calculated based on your history of re-paying debts. It can exist in the Netherlands or anywhere, I can even make up my own formula. It’s probably more popular in the US than elsewhere due to its efficiency to evaluate someone’s credit worthiness for a credit card and the US using more credit for regular purchases than elsewhere, but it really isn’t something devious or magical or legislated.

For example, a small retailer wants to offer it’s customers credit (i.e. lend them money), but they don’t have the underwriting staff or capability to analyze everyone’s credit history (from their credit reports). Then the small retailer may choose to simply purchase credit scores from a company that does analyze people’s credit history, such as the popular FICO score from the Fair Isaac Corportaion.

If you ask me, a depressing life leads to alcohol abuse.

And I say that as someone who never drinks alone; I do drink regularly with friends, and if i get wasted in a group, that's it.

Societies that have a problem with alcohol abuse need to change the society.

Nope. That's a skill as well. Practice a bit and you'll be flying through them.
This doesn't seem like a useful distinction.

There are plenty of people who will drink every day of their life in a way that evidences dependence, but with little or no evidence of abuse. I've had some of these in my family. They drank at the same time in the evening and in the same quantity every day for decades, and they were likely in some state of mild chemical dependence, but the addiction, as it were, never caused any trouble whatsoever.

It's not useful to call these people alcoholics.

Likewise, it would be absurd to label people who drink coffee or tea daily with "caffeinism", even if physical dependence is present. And we don't label people who are chemically dependent on anti-depressants with "SSRI-ism".

In my mind, attaching an "ism" to a substance is only useful to identify pathology, which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with dependence.

Leaving aside for the moment that this policy is only a partial protection against a malicious client, the same policy could well be implemented in X11. (The window manager is not fully equal.)

At a meta level, this is probably the most frustrating thing about Wayland: all of its benefits could be realized in the X context itself, even the getting rid of legacy baggage (deprecate parts of the protocol leading up to the definition of an X12).

People actively chose not to do this and instead delayed progress by at least a decade.

Ideally, Wayland would have just served as a tech demo to guide the evolution of X. But as a community, we give too much credit to people working on shiny new things.

I doubt there's any study that have determined that single excessive drinking leads to long term consequences. If you know of any please post a reference.

Also, measuring consumption by number of drinks is very inaccurate(for example beer can be 0-32%/vol), plus individual metabolism plays huge role how well alcohol is tolerated.[1]

Pretty much that, yes.

The basic idea is that if you do better than the market - because you have more of the good stocks and less of the bad ones - there may be someone somewhere with the opposite positioning.

In this simple model active investors in aggregate cannot do better than the index. Adding transaction costs, fees, etc. they'll do worse - as a group.

If anyone wants a much more in-depth look at the concepts behind this, I can't recommend "The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt enough. It's a bit like The Phoenix Project, in that it's a novel about improving flow in delivery processes, but it's much, much better, and goes into way more practical depth. You'll learn about not just WIP, but floating bottlenecks, buffers, batch sizes, etc. that turn out to be universally useful concepts. The audiobook is especially good - easily the most practically applicable book in the field I've come across. Go read it/listen to it.

The Goal

I didn't fully grasp the problem of too much WIP until I read that book.
You should ask yourself where the WIP comes from. Are there people in your org (job description ending with "nager") that get paid for creating new tasks?
It sounded like OP experienced the drop because they had to get new cards. But once they have new cards, the score doesntayter amymore. That's why I usually don't get the obsession over the credit scores.
I think that would be the killer app.

My take is that they're manually scheduling satellite customers/aiming/timeslices and as they get more sophisticated they will allow this.

The ultimate would be a self-contained electric rv with fold out panels - solar for the motors, climate and appliances, and satellite for internet connectivity.

I think an acceptable middle-ground would be the ability to call-it-in change your address. But then there would be people that would get an address in boise, then set it up in NYC.

Many vendors originally hid the fact until they started receiving community backlash about it. For example, Riot with Vanguard originally hid*[0] that it was running 24/7, and also hid the fact that it blocked drivers, until people noticed and complained about it. Many games, PUBG Lite and Genshin Impact in recent memory, also do not reveal this to the user.

*: I'm aware there was a blog post about it, but blog post about it != clear, upfront warning on install about behavior

> ...made by vendors that actively care about the security of their products...

Here's some fun, all involving anti-cheats:

- Using xhunter1.sys (XIGNCODE3) for an LPE: https://x86.re/blog/xigncode3-xhunter1.sys-lpe/ (still used in some MMOs!)

- Using capcom.sys (rootkit shipped with Street Fighter V) to write a rootkit: https://www.fuzzysecurity.com/tutorials/28.html

- Using mhyprot2.sys (from Genshin Impact) to read/write umode memory / read kmode memory with kernel privileges: https://github.com/ScHaTTeNLiLiE/libmhyprot (still exploitable, AFAIK!)

- Using BEDaisy.sys (BattlEye - shipped in Rainbow Six: Siege, Fortnite, etc) for handle elevation: https://back.engineering/21/08/2020/

In addition, you still need to trust the vendor (duh!). Some of them are essentially RATs, like BattlEye - it loads shellcode from the server that runs in BEService as NT/SYSTEM, and they can target code pushes by IP/ingame ID/etc. Reverse engineering the anti-cheat itself is not enough to trust it; it can change its behavior as it sees fit. They can even choose to specifically target you and steal your files, and there's a very high chance you'll never find out about it.

> ...and are trivially easy to remove once they're no longer needed.

Depends on how you define "trivially easy" - for eg. with Riot Vanguard, it installs/uninstalls separately from Valorant so you need to remember that separately. Some other ones, like xhunter*.sys install silently and aren't easy to uninstall at all unless you go delete files in System32. Others like EasyAntiCheat/BattlEye (last I used it, been years since I've touched them) need special uninstaller .exes that are included with the game, but are not registered with Windows or don't run automatically when uninstalling the game.

Well, those swings won't hurt you if you hold. That's the point. But if you were like a farmer and had to sell at a certain point, the protection could be through derivatives.

React gets used at work and I see it sometimes being a backend dev. For personal projects prefer Vue+TypeScript.

Flutter/Dart (or perhaps a game engine Unity/Godot) for mobile unless there's specific support that I need more natively.

Actual backend varies depending on the project and can be anything from Go, F#, Kotlin/Javalin/JDBI, Elixir/Phoenix, and an SQL database either PostgreSQL or MySQL, sometimes CockroachDB, or a service like Firebase. TBH, the choice of backend tech doesn't actually matter that much once your application has a working foundation. Adding more usually just means replicating whatever, hopefully good patterns you've already created, and each successive addition gets easier as the foundation or examples to copy from get larger. Even a PHP/Yii project was as manageable as Ruby/Rails if it's rolling and cared-for, but I wouldn't personally choose these as I prefer static typing and don't feel slowed down by it.

Don't have an answer for Desktop, or need. If I did, I'd want something direct and cross-platform, maybe Java FX (or now Flutter).
I do not doubt that you had those problems with XFS, but I believe that they must have required certain specific conditions to manifest themselves.

I have been using XFS intensively for almost 20 years and I have never encountered any similar problems, so there must have been some differences in my setup, so that this behavior was not triggered.

While I do not know what was different in my case, possible differences might have been caused by the fact that I have always used generous quantities of DRAM in all my computers and I have never used swap in any of them.
While you’re right about the majority, there are pockets of young people partaking in sophisticated strategies, and doing quite well. The people in the discord server that I belong to are all using stops to max their downside and get out quick if their instinct proves wrong. After several months on paternity leave, it became clear that greatest barriers to active trading are money and time, like most things. If you’re treating the market like it’s your job, day in and day out, you get a really good feel for the flows, and can move into positions that are turning north pretty easily. The fact that the Nasdaq was about to go on a tear was telegraphed for weeks.

There are hundreds of opportunities to do this every day, so you just jump on the most painfully obvious ones, and avoid anything uncertain.

If you have a real job, and can’t watch the market all day, every day, you don’t stand a chance. Without fail, the biggest losses in our group would come when someone tried to hop into a position while half watching the market, and then get sucked into their real work.

Once you’ve got entry down, the hardest part is training yourself to exit at the right time.
Do you get security updates though? I stopped getting them in Dec 2019. Forcing my hand to move over to a phone with Android 9 that gets quarterly security updates still(on March 2021 now I think). I realize this is a manufacturer/carrier thing as far as I know, and I'd like to go back to a nice clean debloated 8.1 or whatever. But I feel like I'm dragged kicking and screaming along the path of forced obsolescence just skimming over the security stuff that apparently I'm never going to get if I don't upgrade phones.

Honestly it's just really annoying. I've toyed around with Lineage and such but at some point it seems it got a lot harder to do things on a lot of models and carrier configs. It seems you need to really research exactly what phone model is open enough and has enough people graciously doing open source work to support updates and such outside of the manufacturer and carrier.
No, it's still relevant. The US Operations whole intent was to challenge China's expanding territorial sea claims, and more generally to reaffirm the Freedom of Navigation in accordance with International law (and not just against China), something the US Navy does often across the globe. It's not the first time it's done this in these waters either. China would absolutely seize the opportunity to amplify and focus on the protests of a US ally that feels the US had violated their waters/domestic laws in some way.

A propaganda outlet seizing on the opportunity to focus on a disagreement between allies that it's antagonistic with is unsurprising. Just because The Hindu and the SCMP both reported on the incident does not itself vindicate the SCMP or it's reporting. Note the difference in reporting between the SCMP and The Hindu (Indian) with regard to the detail spent on the Exclusive Economic Zone, Domestic Waters, counterclaims from the US, etc.

EEZ =/= Internationally Recognized Territorial Waters. This was not a violation of Sovereign Territory. The real story here (if there is one at all) is the US not giving India a heads up ahead of time (which it's not required to do, but it would be a friendly gesture among allies). Meanwhile the SCMP makes it sound like the USN violated sovereign territory, and is capitalizing and small political spat between friends to justify it's own complaints against the US (and others) not recognizing the CCP's territorial overreach

Yeah I’m kinda confused about this story. I’ve had card tied to my parents’ account since I was like 8. I still have it even though I’m grown for emergencies.
Does that include consumer credit cards though? If it had to be backed by assets, people would just spend the money at a different time. I guess the economy would be missing out on all that predatory interest.
