The effect of the Cold War extended over much of Europe. I grew up in a small town in the north of Scotland which had an airport that could support Vulcan bombers. There was the widespread feeling we were on the list of places that would get nuked if hostilities broke out with the Soviet Union.
Discord is one big unit; its “servers” aren't servers.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. It does seem that "better than Yeltsin" is a running theme in this discussion, so in turn I wonder what "better than Putin" would mean to you?

With regards to tensions around the border with Russia and Europe, Putin is firmly seen as the aggressor from here, especially after the annexation of Crimea. To us it seems that Russia is testing the water, with the full knowledge that essentially everyone in Europe wants to avoid an outright war.

You say that you can blog freely without consequence in Russia, but I wonder what the effects of publicly disclosing e.g. homosexuality would be? The impression I have is that it would be analogous to admitting to racism in the US or Europe.

I do appreciate being able to have a reasonable conversation with someone who literally sees the world from a different angle to myself!
Excellent recommendation, I'm going to test this out!
The "tools" used to fight crime are being used to levy absurd tax rates against the people. Prosecuting actual crime with violent offenders requires old fashioned police work, followup, attention to detail. The criminal justice system and tax code is being abused to go after normal people to protect what is rightfully theirs (their money and the fruits of their labor). Taxes need to exist in some form to fund minimal state operations, but not in the order of 25%-40%.
> One thing that struck me is that in both China and the USA, the idea of a war close to home is not a thing. Nobody considers it to be a remote possibility, and it isn't.

It's a bit surprising that Chinese citizens would have that attitude at the same time as PRC leadership engages in brinksmanship over the status of Taiwan. Taiwan is one of the world's most significant potential "flashpoints", and it factors heavily in the military planning of the US, Japan, and South Korea.

Inland provinces might be very far removed from potential danger, but I wouldn't be so confident if I lived in Fujian or elsewhere on the coast.

Then go. If the price of having them here is that they get to not pay their fair share while taking advantage of our infrastructure and workforce, they can pound sand.
My guess is that because it's possible to access adult material, Apple requires a higher age rating on the App Store than Discord would like.

For instance, both the Reddit and Apollo apps are rated 17+. There's nothing "adult" about them, except that it can access adult subreddits.

So by banning adult channels, Discord is likely looking to drop the age rating on their app. A 12+ or 9+ would be more appealing and potentially allow them a broader audience, especially when trying to target the teen crowd which may have parental filters enabled on their phones.
Patton was a fan of doing exactly that: he was probably right. If the USSR had been aborted early on, look at all the suffering that would have been avoided (Holodrome, etc.)
If this was the motivation it seems unlikely that this would only apply to the iOS app and not to the Android app or the web.
I'm the OP. There's nothing wrong with these podcasters making money for their work. I mostly disagree with them but they've earned their money.

What I find ironic about it is that these podcasters in particular are crass, irreverent, and hypercritical of capitalism. But, they're using the status quo to make life changing amounts of money by talking about how bad the current system is. Good for them, though.
If globalization has one benefit, it's that it makes any war extremely costly for everyone involved, so with how entangled the world's economies are today, it's much more likely that tensions would be solved by means other than large scale all-out war. Though of course there's always a non-zero chance.
Just wait until they decide what you can or can’t see with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. This isn’t a slippery slope, that is exactly what is happening here: a company is telling you what you are allowed to read and see, and they have the power to enforce it.
Number of hospital beds per capita measures multiple things at the same time.

* Availability the health care system.

* quality of the healthcare. More advanced the healthcare system is, less time is spent in hospital. Surgeries are less invasive. Outpatient care is more developed

* General health of the population

* age of the population

* workplace safety, hygienic conditions, parasite load.
I spent most of the 80's somewhat close to the front of a war (Israel) as a child, but I was in the US for the events of 1989, and one of the things I saw was how in the US, people learned all the wrong lessons from those events.

In Europe and in the US, there was no more denying that communism was a fail. But in the US, people got the idea that they won the Cold War by showcasing a consumer lifestyle, and that therefore it's unpatriotic to sacrifice any convenience or comfort for any national purpose. Which is how we've come to be unable to mobilize against the pandemic.
Nope.

This has too much on how technical debt is generated and use a poorly selected set of quoted terms to reach a bad conclusion.

Technical debt is the ongoing price you pay for making trade-off decisions in design and implementation.

Code management trade-offs? I hate to see all those day.
Quality trade-offs? Yup. Customers tell me about those.
Security trade-offs? Fix those when you find 'em before bad guys do.
Requirements trade-offs? Maybe I can change requirements and package up some of that debt as a requirements-backed security. Go for it PM.

Some come from hastiness, some come from lack of skill. Some come from changing environments and requirements.

Good news: you can avoid all technical debt if you do nothing.
Bad news: all decisions are trade-offs.
Huh? Of course it is:

I have no love for Adobe, they have some scummy business practices, but:

1) There is an iPad version of Photoshop, and it's fine.

2) They are adding new features (at least to Photoshop), including some interesting and useful machine learning features like "select subject" and "enhance."
Is the property tax higher than the yearly increase in value of that real estate?
But entrenching themselves is a benign end. I don’t really care that very very wealthy people exist and seek to carve out exceptions for themselves to maintain that wealth. The harm that’s done is vague and more the realm of economics. But very very wealthy people who want to “change the world” are individuals with the monetary weight of tens of thousands of people and can do things that for others would require and naturally be tempered by cooperation.

I help make one such Reddit client. There’s an invisible rule that you can’t show users the NSFW toggle or even mention that it’s on the website. We had a toggle that only lets you turn it off if it’s on, and that alone was too much.

We also got rejected once because the top post that day had the word “fuck” in it. That was a fun one.

Personally, I think anyone who amasses oh, say, 100 lifetimes of wealth and can't stop trying to get more has a mental illness. And I don't mean that for laughs. They have a sickness and are not well.

If you've got a $300 million fortune, why can't you just go enjoy life already? It's not like enjoying your life by spending your money isn't going to also create jobs for other people. You don't need to be "a job creator" and build some huge business empire. In fact, it might create better jobs, as you want to buy better things--better furniture, a better home, art--that are not factory-produced crap made by slave labor in other lands. We'd have a better society if rich people could chill out, IMHO.
> Call me a prude, but it wouldn't be a horrible idea to have Discord and Discord NSFW as separate apps.

Apple wouldn't permit such an app in the app store, so it would be a horrible idea.
> I'm not really sure what there is to learn here, apart from the fact that the EU has been a phenomenal success in its real purpose - keeping the peace in Europe.

Given how ridiculously anti-EU the current Polish government is, it makes one wonder whether they share this view.
This doesn't contradict Roberts. The chart at the top of your linked article shows that even for Gen X, poor people generally out earn their parents, and rich people are far less likely to out earn their parents.

Roberts just elides the fact that historically, an even higher percentage of poor and middle class people would out earn their parents.

So his statistics are not wrong, he just presents them in a certain light.
> You should probably not take memes about the French surrendering as gospel truth about their actual capabilities.

Especially when one considers there were technically two French states during WW2.
It searches content of referenced webpages. Also has filtering by year intervals (for example 2012-2016), domains, tags etc.. And I find usability better.

I think it is great product.
I distinctly remember being able to find "adult content" at the age of 12. If I was 12 today I don't think Apple's iOS moderation would stop me either.
The problem is that you don't see that much.

Compiler these days optimise the code beyond human comprehension. Memory management libs, and what hardware does with your physical memory layout is inscrutable.

Register level vulnerabilities are very much black magic for anybody, but silicon maker itself.

Memory management libs used by any big C program add to complexity.

Fancy runtime pointer, and ROP sanitation libs fix some types of vulnerabilities, and add another.

And so, and so, and so.

I am a big proponent of C, but will not hide that C needs substantial education beyond just programming to use properly, and safely.
Samsung should have some fun with this. Find some discord servers that are marked NSFW that have content that is considered non-controversial and show that Apple phones have those blocked. A lot of people with iPhones and pacifiers om their mouths should get the message across.

Vitality of a research institution and how to maintain it
Reddit recently started censoring all nsfw nudity subreddits from r/all ever since the mentions of an IPO.
You would need to actively subscribe or visit that subreddit directly. This isn't anything new. Reddit activitly censors all kinds of subreddits from r/all. Now you only can discover the content they want you to see.
The level of censorship across the internet of the smallest things is getting depressing.
I do see the need to censor things that manipulate people's perspectives to harm but this is different.

If you don’t speak French and are introverted, a boulangerie can seem intimidating. Here’s how to go for it:

Upon entering, say “Bonjour” - that will alert them that you a polite and also don’t speak French. Point to what you want that looks tasty as say “Un (Un)” for one “Deux (Duh)” for two and put a “Merci (Mer-si)” after each order. Pay and say “Merci Bien! (Mer-si Bee-en” at the end.

Presto, it will go smoothly and the proprietor will actually like you because you made an attempt. Don’t worry if the proprietor switches to darn-good-English - they’re happy you made the attempt and are just trying to hurry the order along so they can get to the next customer.
It would be more awesome if we can convert a given code into different panels and link them automatically...

I used to Jailbreak any of my iOS devices, but I found that iOS has gotten good enough, that I really don't needed any of the tweaks and what not anymore. Overall I really really like the iOS experiences.

Privacy is a different concern. The mail app pre-installed on my Samsung phone wanted me to agree to a EULA that lets them process any of my mail. I also find that unacceptable, so I found a different mail client I liked and I did the same thing with the entire phone, basically. It's possible, but it's just no annoying and not something I really want to be dealing with. It seems like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

(Yes, I am well aware of the Librem and other such noble efforts, but I can also begrudgingly admit that I'm just not willing to put up with their flaws either.)

The basic need for a house is something different than owning a house, though.

If owning a place to live is too expensive, it follows by logic that renting is cheaper than buying. Otherwise for the price of the rent, people could get a loan to buy.

So it really doesn't seem obvious that this is an issue of rich vs poor.
Of course you will renovate it and rent it out to the top earners. You know what else? You'll ask for the highest deposit allowed since it doesn't cost you anything and filters out the problematic tenants.

You can do it differently when you are on the other side of the table. However you'll soon find out that most of these things are done for a reason.
Poland was invaded in September 1939.

France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were invaded in May 1940. Only then did the allies really start to fight back. Polish allies did nothing until France was invaded.

I agree there was not really a great solution after WW2 for Poland, the Iron Curtain was basically inevitable given how shaky the alliance between the USSR and the West was.

No it hasn’t.

Balooney. Crimea was not historically part of Russia!

Second, Russia is not just annexing Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula but also attempting to annex parts of eastern Ukraine and recently moved a bunch of troops potentially to expand their held territory beyond the peninsula and deeper into central Ukraine.

I don’t understand these arguments carrying water for Russia. Yeah, we all know Russia wants to annex parts of Ukraine for what they consider strategic reasons. But we can’t go about justifying wars for annexation in the 21st bloody century! Doesn’t matter if it’s the US, China, or Russia. Annexation is not justifiable.
It doesn't say 60% own a home in a major city.
We don't know the future. Since that's not going to change, we need to stop blaming technical debt on the repercussions of that fact.

We want houses before we can save enough money to afford them. We want applications before we know how many users will be slamming our servers. The common denominator here is time. We're trading in time - the only question to ask is whether it's being done for the right reason.

The wrong reasoning is usually something like "it would take too long to understand how to do it better".

When a better solution is understood to have obvious merit but nebulous short term applicability - that's probably good technical debt to take on.
Neat! I wonder if you quantified the performance of your search somehow? I guess labelling data for that would be laborious.

Yes, but even with a 5 or 6 story limit you can fit 10x as many families living in the same area of land than you can with single family detached housing. The problem is that people that own these detached houses don't want to see more dense housing being built in their area because that will "ruin the community feel" aka lower their property values.
Oil is far from irrelevant. The entire world economy depends on oil being as cheap as it is today -- even $4 gas is an incredible deal for just how much work you can get done with it. If OPEC goes crazy, the whole world can grind to a halt due to ripple effects.

You are truly out of touch with people who are in poverty or near it. My parents each work 60-70+ hour manual labor jobs not including brutal commutes. We were paycheck to paycheck for over a decade until my mom became a nurse (being able to pay for it was complete luck). My father didn't take a day off for over a decade include the weekends it felt like (obviously slight exaggeration) and injured himself multiple times on the job due to the stress. It's truly insulting and saddening to see this sentiment expressed. It is so out of touch.

> You mean, except triggering WWII in the West?

They started doing something substantial after France was invaded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War

the Phoney period began with the declaration of war by the United Kingdom and France against Nazi Germany on 3 September 1939, after which little actual warfare occurred, and ended with the German invasion of France and the Low Countries on 10 May 1940. Although there was no large-scale military action by Britain and France, they did begin some economic warfare, especially with the naval blockade, and shut down German surface raiders. They created elaborate plans for numerous large-scale operations designed to cripple the German war effort. These included opening an Anglo-French front in the Balkans, invading Norway to seize control of Germany's main source of iron ore and a strike against the Soviet Union, to cut off its supply of oil to Germany. Only the Norway plan came to fruition, and by April 1940, it was too little, too late.

Assuming we went this route, housing prices would obviously fall in spectacular fashion. What do you suggest is done with the houses already rented out, does the government buy them from the owners? If so is it at a fair market pre-announcement rate or at a rate that causes losses to the owners, if for a loss what happens to the economy when those losses hit? What happens to the banks that own those mortgages? In addition why would you not now have massive amounts of empty housing as banks refuse to lend to unqualified buyers?

In addition, how do you account for the massive drop in new development that occurs as much fewer new houses are built as the housing prices are being deflated due to investment being banned? What about apartment buildings?

All genuine questions I would be interested in hearing a solution too?
Why is Discord such a centralized thing? If it were decentralized hosting (in browser or however else), it would just be a gatway like a browser.
1) We do not know how many cases we've missed. Vaccine side effect reporting is not mandatory in the US, and very different rates of side effects have been reported in different countries. Differences in reporting culture is one likely cause. It's also very telling that less than the expected rate of thrombosis was reported at first: that's clear evidence of under-reporting!

2) It's not correct to say the denominator is 7 million. So far the cases seem to be concentrated in specific demographics, and it's not clear yet if that is a matter of who has received the vaccine, or if some demographics are more vulnerable than others.
