>No, its not, it avsolutely is not.

Yes it is, it absolutely is, by definition, logically neutral. If it's across the board "no politics", then no one ideology gets pushed, which is by definition neutrality. QED.

>Limiting the scope of activism

The scope isn't being limited, you have unlimited scope, but just no activism on company time.

>always serves to protect the status quo.

Or limiting the scope of activism always serves to protect progressive politics, because you're not allowing conservative voices and ideas to be heard.

>The fact that the imposed limit is itself limited does not make it neutral.

It's not limited to any one side, which de fact makes it neutral. QED.
The #1 factor impacting groundwater production is land use.

Yes, blame climate change, but it's going to become increasingly important to ensure that land is used in a way that generates lots of high quality groundwater (forests) and avoid land use that diverts water to overland flow (agriculture and urban land use).
Hey, Senegal is considered to be a developing nation. The developmental stage of a nation is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, economic prosperity, life expectancy, income equality, and quality of life. As a developing nation, Senegal may not be able to offer consistent social services to its citizens.

> Sometimes character assassination is coordinated.

People make this claim like it's common sense but I so rarely see even anecdotes backing it up. (Let alone data)

I've seen a variant of it once. This is my anecdote for false coordinated character assassination. There's a community called Get Off My Internet, which I believe is mostly women, who will do coordinated character assassinations, usually of other women. I've run into them by employing people they target. What happens is a lot of them post in a message board about how their target is a pedophile and fraud and embezzler. Then a few others will email me, the employer, helpfully noting how they've respected me for years, want to protect me and just happened to google my new employee. It's bullshit and so, so gross.

But... there's also this other pattern where victims of real abusers will form a whisper network ahead of time. As I understand it, the whisper network is partly for safety and partly for sanity. The sanity is "am I overreacting to an honest mistake?" Seeing it as a pattern makes it more clear that it's intentional. And then for safety, there's a lot of perceived and probably real reputational downside to speaking up. And since it's hard to prove a lot of the accusations, having multiple reports makes the case more compelling, i.e. safer from a reputation standpoint.

So that's why a report like this might feel coordinated. Of course it is. It's just too hard to make this sort of report without talking to people first and then by talking to people you end up discovering a lot of other victims.

I was close to one of these whisper networks, that Lightspeed VC. I'd heard from one victim two years beforehand. She didn't want to say anything because all she really wanted was to avoid him and complete her next fundraise. She took that company public. A lot of this "women are making this stuff up" fear is based on the idea that they get something out of it. This founder was afraid of the opposite, that doing something would botch her raise.

I'm close to another emerging whisper network right now and it's the same thing. "Is this safe? Will people believe me? He's done it to other people and will probably doing it to more people right now. But if I speak up will I put my career and business in jeopardy?"

Sure, in some theoretical perfect world it would be great to have a legal system that could easily and fairly render verdicts. But since we don't have this, what other choice do victims have than to band together to at least warn other people away from dangerous people?
I’m not OP but “I tried all kinds of things and it didn’t work so in frustration I typed...”
Those water pacts are generally very out of date and haven't adapted to modern populations and usage volumes, though. Change must come.
I was under the impression that most high margin goods, like electronics, were shipped via air, not ocean.

I could be wrong though, or air freight could be experiencing a similar spike in demand right now.
This is true. It’s obvious we have free will, it’s obvious that an atomistic body can’t support that alone, but no one wants to talk about it ;)
>try switching from one laptop to another

Why would I need to? Is this some burning problem that I didn't realize needed a solution?
Marin County will also pull you over on a bicycle because they don't like cyclists. And issue several hundred dollar tickets for going too fast, passing cars while they are stopped in a turn lane, riding over a crosswalk with small children... https://twitter.com/WarrenJWells/status/1386328677378494468?...
What Really Happened at Basecamp
That specific one is, yes, but you can also buy third party Thunderbolt 3 sleds (eg Razer makes one) and use more recent cards.
Sure there are other solutions. You can kick the can to something else.

I still think git should have a solution for a consistent default configuration if features are going to be supported as opt in configurations.
that is true, but just like oil water can be transported via pipelines.
ISPs & WiFi APs can stop trying to attack connections like that, and implement RFC 8910[1].

Otherwise… example.com, maybe. I guess we'll see how long the http version of that lasts.

I assume ISPs will get around to this a few decades after implementing IPv6.

I have no desire to design interfaces like the ones I described, so the feeling would be mutual.

I would, however, love to be at the forefront of an anti-design movement that rightfully crushes the monotony/monopoly of modern UX

And what is wrong with tech-savvy elitism? Are you saying I should just forfeit the lifetime I've spent obsessing over this stuff to have an edge up on life? Give in to the tyranny of walled-garden and cloud-hosted nonsense?
Won't 3D printing also spur local manufacturing?
For those that missed the joke, they are referring to server-side rendering and sending only HTML to the client.

This doesn’t solve the Figma case tho.
> Right from the beginning, it’s worth to mention, that the router (Sagemcom F@st) is super limited in what it allows configuring. [...] Similarly, I can’t set up any custom routing or configure which DNS servers the router’s built-in DHCP provides for the home networks — the configuration is locked by the vendor

I had the same problems with my modem/router, a Fastgate by Fastweb (in .it)

No custom static routes, dns fixed by the provider, no vpn functionalities. Some arbitrary tcp ports can't be forwarded via NAT. TR-069 was up and running, at least in ~2017, and at the same year at CCC in Hamburg (or Leipzig?) there was a nice talk about how good of an attack vector TR-069 is.

All this is quite infuriating, specifically the DNS thing.

I ended up replacing the whole thing with custom equipment (ONT + a Linksys WRT3200ACM running OpenWrt).

But I honestly think that stuff like this should be illegal.
In NL, covid rules say you can now fire people for economic reasons.

I don't understand the negativity. I have tried similar technology and the speed bump was immediately noticeable, and that was rendering the client all in JS (this was the tech underneath Cloudflare's zero trust browser). The potential for central management is there so my guess is the product ends up being some sort of enterprise browser that provides both security and extends the life of existing IT infrastructure.

Nah, shelves have no history. They're more like a patch. P4 streams are the closest to git branches.

Vans exist, and rides can be pooled in denser areas. I imagine a 24-hour robovan with multiple paying passengers at a time would pay itself off relatively quickly.

People here like to whine that this would be recreating the bus, not realizing that the reason buses suck is because they have rigid departure schedules, and fixed startpoints and endpoints. People mainly take Ubers over the bus because they're much more flexible.
Some people are attracted to abusive mates.

"If a bunch of your ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends got together to assassinate your character..." you are probably attracted to extremely destructive relationships. You might be confusing drama with passion.
Tempting, but good God, that expense ratio. The highest I've ever seen on an ETF.
Still dumb. We've known for thousands of years not to let non-married couples be alone together, let alone sleep in the same bed.

> Did you ever deal with an instance where your kids started telling you "no" in response to demands you felt were reasonable, twisting your original explanations to use against you, for things like eating, cleaning up or hygiene?

As a parent of teenagers... omg, yes. LOL. I think it's as much because they're teenagers preparing to leave the nest as much as anything.
> there should be a "power user mode"

Well, there obviously shouldn't be. There should be one mode, and that's the power user mode :).

More seriously: power users aren't born, they're made - made through repeated exposure, if the software leaves them the space to grow in.
I’m glad your will has an opinion. This all seems miraculous.
For editing notebooks in vim, I've created https://github.com/goerz/jupytext.vim. Note that this does not allow to run any cells, it just edits the inputs.

The motivation behind this was to have some basic interaction with existing ipynb files on a remote server without having to run the jupyter server (and set up port forwarding etc.) It's worth noting that the `jupytext.vim plugin is most useful if you're actually not running `jupytext` within jupyter; If you are, you could just directly open the .py or .md files linked to any .ipynb in your editor.

I've used `jupytext.vim` to edit existing notebooks and then run them through `jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute`. It's also great for refactoring: moving code from a notebook files into a module, between notebooks, or to create a new notebook as a variation of an existing one.
A VPN is really a security and privacy "black box" --- it's impossible to know that happens inside.

That said, I wouldn't recommend anything that doesn't allow you to use your own client.
Protip: issue the new token yourself. The arbitrageurs wont have it and can only buy too. They only add to the noise of buyers.
I think you then run into the issue of companies trying to sneak fraudulent clicks past Google. If I knew there was little to no chance of repercussions, I would absolutely try a bunch of programs to try and sneak fraudulent clicks past.

It's like if you told a student that there was no punishment for cheating, the questions they cheated on just wouldn't count. This doesn't hurt that bad, because if you were cheating on a question you (most likely) didn't know the answer.
The same thing happens in Magic The Gathering.

There are cards from Alpha/Beta etc. that have an exact same number of printings as other cards worth 10-100x more

The value of short-print cards is to collectors who want the entire set of "Alpha" cards regardless of what the specific card might be.

In the same way, there are probably collectors who want to own the entire collection of NES games or Atari games who would highly value an obscure game with a short print-run.
I'm not understanding the difference between this and webgap.io which seems a lot cheaper for same service. I have actually tried webgap.io and it offered modest but noticeable improvement in page load speed for sites in US.

> Competing systems like Mercurial

To clone Mozilla Firefox, Mercurial requires you have more than 2 Gigabytes of RAM. Not Firefox, Mercurial. Simply because the version history is so large, it requires over 2 Gigabytes of working memory to properly interact with enough to put a current clone of the repo on your computer.
If you add up all of the political violence used by the two main power groupings against each other in the last year or so, I think it ends up being about the same. To me, the storming of the Capitol has roughly the same weight as all of the BLM-related violence does.

The psychological type I am referring to is something like this: Hatred and desire for revenge and power wrapped up inside an ideology that claims to base itself fundamentally on something other than just hatred and desire for revenge and power. Psychological poverty and inflexibility - there is a one-sided obsession with politics to the point that everything is primarily seen through a political lens and other people are viewed not as three-dimensional but primarily along tribal lines. Moral obsession - a conviction that one has a moral mandate. Simplicity - ideology and propaganda that reduces complex issues to simple ideas and slogans. Intolerance for opposing thought and speech - love of censorship and so on.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. We've done plenty of tests on animals and found nothing that would contradict either known physics or chemistry.

Moreover, even if human brains were somehow special relative to animal brains, there's no reason to think they operate in a way that that's separate from all the other matter in the universe. And as the GP said - interactions between matter are either causal or random. There's no "free will" interaction. Such a thing would be - almost by definition - supernatural.

I am sure it is uBlock + uMatrix that's giving you the boost. I use both and whenever I open a regular website in Incognito mode (in case uMatrix ruleset adjustment would be too consuming for a one-off) you can feel the fans spinning up.

Per https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rape-kits-are-sit... police in the USA TODAY have over 100,000 untested rape kits collected from women who claimed to have been raped.

You can start telling me how much things have changed after the police take rape seriously enough to actually process physical evidence of reported crimes.

Except you couldn't, because the cartel has educated customers that 60W = medium brightness, 100W = very bright. Brightness has been linked to electricity use.

That also means that you couldn't make a bulb as bright as a 100W bulb that only uses 90 watts: if you advertised it as a 90W bulb, people would think it was less bright.
Seconded. Principia is amazing; first thing I did after installing it was set up a Kerbin-Mun L4 orbit.

Another thing I found, due to the full n-body integration Principia adds, is that I was able to correctly guess which side of Kerbin the Mun was on due to tiny perturbations in my craft's equatorial orbit.

Meanwhile the Capitol is still surrounded by steel mesh fencing with some 2,250 armed National Guard troops on duty many months after the "most popular president of all time" was ushered in.
So many trades, too. I put off ordering a few replacement windows last year, when the lead time was 3 weeks.

I finally ordered them in February, and they're slated to come in sometime late June or July. So far at least.
No fucking way. Cable TV channels had as much ads as they had content. Youtube is around 2x1min ad per 30 min video, longer ones are skippable and you get no ads if you pay for $15/m for it.

You paid cable TV $90/m for 12-15 min of ads on 30 min shows.

DroidScript users already sound like a fringe market. Seems like the perfect candidate for F-Droid, however I don't know what the F-Droid policy is on showing ads (which sounds like they are not too concerned about keeping in the app, anyway).
I'm a bit confused: Google Stadia (and the Amazon/Nvidia) HN has a deserved reputation for missing the obvious value add of a service, so I'd like people to correct me but - isn't this basically Stadia, except it costs 5x as much, and you can only "play" Chrome?
That is rather astounding. And completely opposite anything that I've ever heard, including from a woman I know who reported her rape less than 5 years ago in Australia.

Meanwhile in the USA we literally have enough untested rape kits to fill a small city. According to https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rape-kits-are-sit... at least 100,000. (Nobody is really tracking the numbers well, so it is probably more than that.)

iPhones and iPads are becoming more tinkerable because Apple aims to ultimately merge MacOS and iOS in my opinion.

Once that happens, there will be more security and a more unified platform to develop on - no doubt - but I will be shocked if they do not also take the opportunity to lock down what software you can develop, publish, and run on Macs over time.

Don't write a viral public post about it, ahead of the court case, invite others to comment on it, then blame the women struggle in tech on others who don't agree on the very strong, and damaging, qualifier of rape.

Rape is when you agree to have protected sex, but the man removes the condom sneakily, or the woman punctures the condom. What happened here was consensual sex without a condom, and one party regretting that after the fact (and being unspoken uncomfortable about it during).

Imagine having unprotected two-night stands years back, and suddenly your name is in a widely distributed article, charging you with rape. Like damn, and we wonder in a few years why the overreaction and demonization of the Scala community damaged its growth and inclusion.

I am not very deep on Elixir, but I have heard of some substantive complaints about GenServer as a specific implementation and the cultural effects of the community say "just use GenServer" which shuts down discourse around why it might not be appropriate or at least optimal for all the cases it's recommended.

But, as others have mentioned, it's extremely standard to use phrasing like "can't do that" and "unable to do that" like this. It's simply not reasonable to interpret this messaging as intended to claim that it's physically impossible to do the thing. I totally understand being upset with Google's policy and decision here, but this particular criticism about the wording they used is simply disingenuous.
That is literally what this is.
Using a pretty simple atmospheric model going from the original 1,325 km to the newest 540 km altitude, the air density doubles (1.990x).

Then there's the increase in velocity since the orbit is now smaller, which is about 300 m/s.

So overall the drag force doubles, but there's no way to tell how long the lifespan is without knowing a coefficient of drag and using a much more complicated atmospheric model that takes into account things like Sun and geomagnetic activity.
Thanks for following up. It seems like a reasonable source. This is sad and worth thinking about.
