I suspect you are getting into some myth-making yourself here. The inquisition was not originally focused on witch-hunting, it was focused on heretics - people challenging or denying the the doctrines of the Church. Bernardo Gui and The Name of the Rose is 14th century, while the large scale witch-hunts only started in the 15th century with the publishing of "Malleus Maleficarum".

> The truth is that Inquisition aim was exactly opposite: to stop chasing and burning innocent woman (and man) by all kind of petty lords and civil "courts" who used witchcraft accusation to get rid of opponents.

I suspect you made that up, given the anachronisms in your account. Do you have any legitimate source which confirm this narrative?

Bernard Gui was certainly an educated man, and he is described as as such in Name of The Rose. He also was responsible for a lot of torture and death, persecution of Judaism and so on. You can consider this "decent" or not pending on your personal values. The Name of the Rose Eco actually has a reasonable good treatment of the philosophy behind the heretic movement and the inquisition, despite the book being fiction.

Elon already said Starlink is not going public for a while because it doesn't have the cash flow yet. Ackman said on BLOOMBERG TV that Stripe & Airbnb said they were not interested in using his SPAC.

The only real possibility is Bloomberg LP, although Bloomberg had denied the rumors.

I just use a pair of Bose QuietComfort III headphones.

The audio from the built-in mic is very good. Zero background noise.

I suspect a really good condenser mic, with a filter, would be better, but these headphones work great.

I have noticed that people that use earbuds (in particular, Apple AirPods Pro), seem to also supply a lot of background noise. That does not happen with my headset.

>But was it also a setback for the subjugates areas like France, England which now became independent?

Now England got to be attacked by a variety of other raiders. We actually don't know a huge amount about the early Medieval period in England. A lot of it comes from a handful of ecclesiastical records and the survey that was done after the Norman (French) invasion in 1066. Also a few discoveries, most notably Sutton Hoo.

But we don't even know if King Arthur was a real person or not. In contrast to the Roman Empire, very little came down to us from Northern Europe.
I've always struggles with iambic pentameter. I know what it is but the de-dum de-dum explanation doesn't sound anything like what I hear in performances, original pronunciation or not.

There must be a reason for it, or it wouldn't be included, but what is the effect it's supposed to give?

I'm not sure if it changed to reflect the actual headline, but that is not the current headline. It is a myth that the middle ages were bad, they were both bad and good.
I think this should be regulated - companies often take massive amount of customers and while they are most of the time able to deliver the product, they have no capacity to service support queries. I think there should be an SLA guaranteed by law and for a company it should be illegal to take more customers if they are unable to provide SLA on support.
This way we wouldn't have a situation where you contact a company and in reality you talk to bots or nobody at all.
This would also deal with the problem of companies growing too big to fail and not having reasonable competition.
That is what WinUI team would wish, but given that currently with version 3.0:

- Only C# and C++/WinRT apps are supported

- Desktop apps support .NET 5 and C# 9, and must be packaged in an MSIX app

- No XAML Designer support

- New C++/CX apps are not supported, however, your existing apps will continue to function (please move to C++/WinRT as soon as possible)

- Unpackaged desktop deployment is not supported

- When running a desktop app using F5, make sure that you are running the packaging project. Hitting F5 on the app project will run an unpackaged app, which WinUI 3 does not yet support.

To add to the audio quality discussion, well-meaning people who want to improve their quality often make the mistake of buying the mic with the best spec sheet. That ultra-sensitive microphone will make you sound more natural than your built-in mic, but it will also pick up dogs barking down the street and your neighbor mowing her lawn. If you’re not in a studio-like office, a less-sensitive dynamic microphone is often better than the condenser with better specs. That said, both options will greatly improve your voice.
Widgets are essentially data classes, simple wrappers for configuration information. They need to be classes because of the way the internals of the framework works.

Do you know Galileo received a pension from the church? Galileo had many admirers among the clergy, including the pope himself, yet by publishing a book he broke an earlier agreement on not teaching his theory and this wasn't taken lightly. A modern analogy would be to break an NDA.
One thing I find really awkward with podcasts is if the guest has better audio quality than the host. It skews my mental model of who is "calling in" and it makes the host feel much less authoritative.

Surely this means that "long covid" is not caused by the coronavirus infection itself, but by staying at home too much and a poor diet and not enough exercise. Is that not what this meant?
I mean ...

From Microsoft offerings for C++ devs, just keep using MFC, or in your case wxWidgets.

They will mention WinUI, but the team pushing for C++/WinRT killed all VS tooling support that C++/CX, so for doing WinUI with C++ you are stuck editing IDL files without any kind of VS tooling support, and also have to copy/merge the generated C++ files of the IDL ones.
> endless downvotes for something that isn't offensive

If you habitually find yourself on the receiving end of this it's worth re-examining why you think it's not offensive and if it looks like everyone else actually agrees with you. To a certain extent you are correct: It is to be expected that when you say something that's too "nice" you get a ton of downvotes (and the same goes for something too "rough", probably), that's just how things are. On balance though, you get so many more upvotes for constructive posts on issues that aren't loaded at all (or where your opinion is so centrist you don't post anything controversial) that it ends up not mattering.

I'll allow that none of this applies when you are an extremist, but to my mind being an extremist means that unfortunately a lot of what you say will be offensive. That loops back to the beginning of my post :)
I can give you a list of professional women UX experts who would have been delighted to have been asked (before now), and if you can't, then I believe you shouldn't be composing a panel for judging UX - because you don't know or haven't researched the field sufficiently well to even identify any women.

The assumption being made in this thread is that the six men are particular experts in the fields being judged: the best available experts.

From what I can see, the selected judges don't even work in those fields being judged (i.e. there is no reason to confer them this expertise), so the reasoning that the best available experts must have been chosen doesn't make any sense.
But if the current attitudes aren't based on evidence, what makes you think that more evidence will change those attitudes? That's what the GP is asking.

Isn't this good? I would rather set my actual interests in the browser settings! I also am upfront glad to tell them to anybody interested so we might find common interests or discover something new. The only reason I would rather hide such data actually is fingerprinting.
IMO, yeah.

The reason I got into tech (around 2007) was because I realised how easy it was to start an online business if you knew a little code. Back then it was so easy to spin something up and get users on your site. Between 2007 - 2010 I launch a handful of relatively successful projects with no money and a few months work.

I realised towards the end of my time at university things had started to change. This was around 2011-2012 and I started to notice it was getting far harder to build something and attract users. It wasn't impossible, but it wasn't as easy as buying a good domain and putting some keywords on a webpage anymore. Today the number of websites and content online is orders of magnitude larger. 15-20 years ago there were so few websites and so little content you could get Google to basically rank anything within a few months (sometimes weeks) if the bare minamum effort.

There also wasn't much competition even if you wanted to do something extremely generic like sell something you brought online or start a new social network. In fact, my first job in tech was basically building and maintaining websites selling stuff we imported from China. I must have started around 2009 and in the few years I worked there I probably launched 5 or so successful ecommerce stores.

Today if you want to build something you need money or you need connections. You're not going to get organic traffic anymore unless you're lucky enough to get your product picked up by HN or some other social media site. I mean, I guess if you spent all day writing content, trying to get blogs and other sites to talk about your product then link back to your site you might be able to get Google to rank you, but it's far from easy.

In 2021 if you want people on your site you basically need an advertisment budget, and college students don't typically have that.

Alternatively, if you know people well connected in some industry it's possible to start a company without money, but again this is rare for a college student. Over the last decade the only people I know who have started successful tech companies have been people who were well connected and basically had their first few clients handed to them which provided them the funds to expand.

This is a common trend with all new technologies though. At the start you always get a handful of individuals who build something awesome, but then as the industry grows so does the size of the competetion.

A lot of people got into Bitcoin early as well, but tried to build the wrong things.
For example I built an ebay clone in 2013.

It was never obvious at all. Practically all predictions were wrong. Even the predictions by bitcoin advocates of all stripes were wrong. Everyone was wrong. It is just that some people won big despite being wrong. I don't think Brain Armstrong foresaw that Bitcoin would turn into what it is today either.
In any case, building an exchange seems pretty hard. I wouldn't know where to start with all the legal stuff.
Is there some way on the iPhone / iPad to shoot video with a Bluetooth mic? I bought a BT lapel mic and whenever it was connected to the phone, it showed up as headphones and audio wouldn't play from the phone until I disconnected it.

True, but the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the United States Declaration of Independence has it covered pretty well. Growing your own mushrooms or marijuana does not restrict on other individual rights if they do so willingly, and therefore getting caught up in treating it like a drug that needs to be studied more before they consider making it more accessible seems a bit absurd IMO. They're not being made in labs and grow naturally in many parts of the US.
Fwiw 4-HO-DMT is psilocin (it and psilocybin are both in mushrooms in varying amounts; and psilocybin metabolizes into it in the body). It probably wasn't legal. 4-AcO-DMT is a bit more of a grey area (probably covered by the analogues act; allegedly also metabolizes to psilocin in the body too).

HBS people were right. Amazon was successful because Bezos had access to investor money and was able to make losses for years and years, building up market share in the process. Most of the times, people don't have such access.
It is more nuanced; the private investors want to make profit as quick as possible, they do not care about long term development of the area (many politicians either, they might not be in their position after next election).

The private investors won't do infrastructure either - it is expensive - so they want to build where the infrastructure is already in place. So that's why we see trying to increase density.

So the zoning rules are there as a conterweight to this.

Indeed. The Inquisition was actually innovative in the sense that it made courts more fair. You have to view these things in historical context. The events that motivated the Spanish Inquisition were, of course, a complicated political matter, too, but people don't like complicated things when all they want is an indictment and heads to roll. Such is bigotry.

In general, these sorts of myths were often the product of anti-Catholic propaganda produced long after the events in question happened. Both Protestants and Enlightenment figures had a vested interest in spreading vicious lies about the Church and they did so gladly.

It seems like a blunder, him not being open and transparent when he was so desperate to find a co-founder quickly and needed to establish trust. But perhaps it even helped by filtering out all those smart and cautious guys sniping at him in the comments?

As one of the comments mentioned, it wasn't hard to discover his real name anyway

Most likely what you mean setting interests in the browser settings (general interests) and the FLoC cohorts are on much different scales. A FLoC cohort will probably contain a few thousand people, combined with any other data points will probably be enough to uniquely identify you.
There are things you can do with hangings and screens and so forth if you want to. I do have an office but my background includes some ugly file cabinets so I got a fabric print to hang over them.

> torturing people to death

No, the Spanish Inquisition strictly forbid torturing people to death (death only happened when people were condemned to it). There were, in fact, regulations that required to not provoke any bleeding (even just a drop) during the torture -you can cause severe damage without bleeding of course-, and the process had to stop if it happened. A person was dedicated to oversee the entire process and stop it in these cases.

What people often misses is that these tortures weren't anything special at the time. The right to not be tortured is quite modern. The Inquisition just took a look at what the existing institutions were doing, and imitated it (regulating the entire process in the way: there were only three types of torture methods allowed, for example)

The Inquisition wasn't an unified entity either - Galileo was condemned by the Roman Inquisition, but the Spanish Inquisition didn't have any problem with his theories and didn't forbid his books.
