> Does the media tell you who Azov battalion or right-sector is?

Western media, yes? I mean, when they were relevant. Russian TV keeps mentioning them every other day, and short of how Ukraine has been the Third Reich all along.

Azov is integrated in the armed forces now and subject to a level of scrutiny that they were not back in 2014. Pravy sektor has no representation in other than some local councils, which is real good if you compare it with the numbers of Vox in Spain, Front National in France, or the usual suspects.

2014 caught Ukraine off guard and they threw everything they could to the East, and unfortunately that included extreme right paramilitary groups that had no rules of engangement or official oversight of any kind. The government(s) corrected it in the best way they could, which wasn't great to be honest. Not defending it, just contextualizing it.

The eli15 answer is that concrete is repaired by excising the damage and replacing what was removed. If you're really interested check out Sikas brochures.0 if you prefer video form I found this [1] that seems to cover a good variety of applications and can probably be comfortably watched at 2x speed.

Maintaining concrete is a matter of having routine structural inspectors come out to poke and prod the concrete. Worn traffic areas get patches and sealants. Areas with a lot of runoff get seals to direct water in ideal ways. Etc.

I don't think this proves anything at all, but certainly not about wages. Food in big cities is often 2-3x the cost, which you can attribute to:

a) Customers having higher salaries

b) Property being massively more expensive

c) In the case of NYC, much higher property taxes

d) Yes, perhaps the cost of labor as well

Seems really hard to draw any conclusion given all of that.
There is third way - crypto mining on user computers. I would prefer to mine some crypto for someone instead of seeing ads. Biggest problem: mobile users would be much less "valuable".
Because night shift barely does anything. Try a strong red filter (I use a color filter from iOS accessibility settings or cf.lumen on Android). Even if that doesn’t actually improve my sleep, I’m alright with it “just” not burning my eyes at night and subjectively making me fall asleep more quickly.
Steel does not corrode when embedded in concrete. The failure mode of reinforced concrete is when the rebar loses contact with the concrete.

This condition can be detected and fixed before failure.
The biggest gain is the security of all of the code running on someone else's hardware.

The biggest loss is also security: all of your keystrokes, passwords, traffic, etc. are stored on someone else's hardware.
This is the only response I have seen to my question that could maybe change things - specifically having automatic sensors in every vehicle that automatically alert police when you do something dangerous. I think this would be unrealistic to implement, but assuming you could, it would probably help (assuming sensor data could be used as proof of bad driving).

As for reporting bad driving, you really need proof of a person's bad driving if you're going to penalize them for it. Having more traffic cameras helps a bit, but people just learn where the cameras are and drive carefully when they know they are being filmed.

In consistently dangerous intersections it can actually be much safer not to cross at the crosswalk. You are basically in a situation where it is perceived as safe because you expect the cars to stop; however, if they don't stop, you are immediately in trouble with no exit.
- Personally I don’t think PG is defending mighty app because he has skin in the game. I would think he is at a point where he doesn’t need to.

- Also IMO we should let mighty app (or for that matter other crazy ones) play out. We all know little about the capabilities of individuals and what the future holds. So why to ridicule and prematurely declare certain death.
There is no guess work. You have a block or concrete foundation, no water leaks in the house, and that's basically it. Termites need water to survive. So if your house doesn't have any leaks, the you will see mud tubes coming up in the foundation. You can treat before they become established. You can use preventive measures like spraying the foundation, bait traps, etc.

Even masonry homes require preventive maintenance. It's just that the maintenance and concerns are somewhat different.
I agree that being ridiculous is not sufficient to discard it.

Many things are considered ridiculous or impossible before they work.

The main point is that yes it could work and be valuable, but not for the end-user. It would be mostly valuable because of the transfer of power from the user to the server.

We should know better, we should learn from the lessons of the recent past, we should be more careful before giving away our freedom (power is highly correlated to individual freedom)
People getting paid entry wage at McDonald's were never supposed to be able to afford a house on that.

That’s arguably not an SLR. Sort of. It’s an SLT. Used that neat semi-transparent non-moving mirror to simultaneously directs light to the imaging sensor and the phase-detect sensor.

I only speculate but yes I think companies and other public figures use "PR hacking" just like this to try to shake associations with bad press. This case is slightly different to me, though, because Ikea just had a huge reckoning with the falling dressers. They definitely don't want another blow to their reputation on product safety.

Read it a bit and couldn't finish it on how bullshit it is.

It basically says they're great country, basic metrics that make people's lives better are great and then he disagrees with the studies because they don't go around in Finland counting smiles.

Happiness is about accomplishments, you set your life to work for something, greater or worse you'll get there in countries like Finland. That do make people happy and if you're "sad" with that, that's just a first world problem.

Come to Portugal where half of your wage gets stolen by direct and indirect taxes, making you study and work only to survive and you'll see what "happiness" is.
I must have missed your second point (or you edited it in). The maximum range for the P90 is 3700 in-game units (308ft) compared with 4000 units (333ft), so you cannot!

That said, very few places in any official CS map have ranges that long. One would be on Train from Terrorist spawn to "Ivy" @ 3900 units (325ft).

That's true when comparing workforces across demographics and economies, sure. Happens all the time. But here we're comparing "2019 Montana" with "2021 Montana" -- it's not like Montanans or their economy have changed that much. The clear hypothesis is that if the same people are doing the same jobs in the same economy with similar workforce participation numbers that there is no "severe" employment shortage".
Agreed there!
Sorry to ask, Apart from the website, what is new here for SpiderMonkey?
Yeah, that's the point, this is why this "tech" is not what we want/need.
I have old computers, Raspberry Pi's, and virtual machine cloud instances with just 128MB to 512MB RAM and they work perfectly fine for the tasks I use them for. None of those tasks involve anything graphical.

If you want a modern web browser then you need a computer made in the last 10 years or so. The statement that "It's just a browser!" is not a good argument. The modern web is very resource intensive so you need a decent computer.
Just keep in mind that those older Minolta lenses were designed for 35mm film. They'll be tend to be soft when coupled with a 36 megapixel full frame sensor, at least compared to modern lenses designed for high resolution sensors.
It's true, and you do get into "If I take the week off I'm losing £X!" headspace sometimes. But it's important to remember that if you don't take that week off, you're more likely to burn out.

And it's also important to remember why you got into it in the first place - being able to take significant amounts of time between contracts was a big part of it for me. I intend to take three months downtime a little later this year.
Can you say more what you mean by "pointless red queen race"?

Let's say someone wants to sell fishing equipment. The traditional way of doing this is to buy ads on fishing sites. So now my fishing equipment purchases make there be more writing about fishing; yay!

Then one of the fishing websites decides to put a tracking pixel on their site to drop "fishing website visitor" cookies (or, in a future without third-party cookies, a turtledove interest group). They make a deal with a third party provider and get paid a small amount per visitor. Then fishing retailers have a new choice: instead of buying ads on fishing sites they can instead buy ads on any site for users who have one of the "fishing website visitor" cookies. If there were a monopoly fishing site, then this would increase their earnings: while the ad space on their site isn't as valuable, they will set the pixel price high enough that they come out ahead. It's not a monopoly, though, so the price of the pixel gets driven down through competition, and money that would go to fishing sites instead goes to the publishers that people who spend money on fishing equipment visit.

In this case I see how it's worse for fishing sites, but not how it's bad for consumers: their willingness to buy fishing equipment translates into support for all the sites they visit, and not just the fishing sites.

But there are also many niches that don't have economic tie-ins, or have ones that are far weaker than "writing about fishing" and "buying fishing equipment". In a world with targeted advertising, these niches do better, because of overlap between audiences. A "let's have better housing policy" blog can show ads for fishing equipment, vacations, HVAC supplies, or whatever else visitors have shown interest in on other sites.

Additionally, targeted advertising increases the total amount of funding available for online content, because people with niche interests are available to be advertised to in more places. Seeing ten fishing ads once a week when you visit a fishing site vs seeing twenty fishing ads spread over the course of the week, etc.

So while niche publishers in lucrative niches would likely make more money if we only had context-based advertising, I don't think niche publishers overall, publishers overall, or consumers would be better off.

It doesn't change much. If you have to jump through a VPN to get there, they can make a very reasonable claim that they're not targetting or serving the european market.

It doesn't have to be bulletproof, it just has to support the claim.

The scary part is the deficit we are incurring to pay for it. It's not sustainable. The benefits cannot be extended indefinitely.

I thought with EUV they could drop multi-patterning for 7nm and maybe another node or two. Do you have info on weather each company is doing double or quad patterning on any of these nodes? That has a big impact on the cost of a chip and I would think yield as well.

What's interesting is both of those examples are relatively removed from the "original proposition" - Uber was "ridesharing" and now is "taxi on demand" and AirBnB was "couch surfing" and now is "unlicensed hotel".
If that is your strategy you have no chance of succeeding anyway. The only way you can beat these companies with deeper pockets is being able to offer something they can't. It may be of higher monetary value or personal value.
Three things, one they are already automating so wages don't have anything to do with it.

two, I love how you're carrying water and claiming they'd need to raise prices by 100% to cover a higher wage, when the CEO doesn't have share concern.

https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/mcdonalds-ceo-chain-will...

and three in Australia where the minimum wage is nearly $20 an hour, the food prices are only a little higher.

https://www.aussieprices.com.au/mcdonalds-prices/

so your concern is proven by the CEO of the company and reality to be nonsense.
This seems to be mostly a construction quality issue of the time - in my corner of Eastern Europe, the 1960s buildings often are so bad to need reconstruction or replacement, but the 1900s/1910s/1920s/1930s buildings are structurally fine (with some exceptions due to total neglect) despite being twice as old. It's more of an indicator if you intentionally build mass cheap sloppy housing intended to be temporary just to allow faster urbanization ASAP (as arguably was the goal of 1960s soviet housing projects), then you're not getting proper long-term buildings - IIRC it was expected already when being built, the planned design lifetime of those buildings without major repair was just 30 years or so, and they've certainly met that bar.
Ugh, reviews, another part of employee life I haven't missed!

That stuff re: training was not something that was part of my life as a perm worker, in the UK or Australia. The companies certainly liked to pay lip-service to employee development, but I didn't see much evidence of it actually happening.
Kiosks break down requiring service calls. They need software teams to keep them updated, and a not-insignificant portion of the population still just refuse to engage with them. That's why almost all of the ones you see around in stores have attendants still.
Any time I think about HTML sanitization I think about MySpace and how the engineers there never parsed user authored HTML, they just searched for substrings in the input which allowed users to craft some really funky HTML that was valid, but unconventional.

Interesting times. Also a good example of how when you work at a company as a developer, not every issue you come across you’ll have time to fix or may even know how to.

Tools proliferated years later to help with this sort of thing, but it’s interesting to think after many years that such a common concern had not really been explicitly addressed in standards as far as I know.
The issue with all these things is that on right-wing forums these issues are spun from human biodiversity to white nationalism, racial crime statistics to racist rhetoric, concern about pedophilia into homophobia, an obvious lie into support of disproportionately tough policing relative to crimes committed, and, again, racism supportive of police. What is true for alt-right forums that isn't true for others is that hate speech tends to be protected on these private platforms.
The question is, what is the alternative? I see two main
funding models:
Paywalls. You pay with your money.
Ads. You pay with your attention.

I guess That question seems good, but with ads, I don't feel like I'm paying with my attention, I'm paying with my personal data. I'm paying by sharing what I'm doing with a seemingly infinite number of companies who turn around and buy and sell all that data and build profiles on me that are then bought or sold. I'm paying with my privacy, not my attention.
Even though that DSLR is eight years old, it gets battery life that any mirrorless camera can only dream of

>I don't know many people who think advertising per se is morally objectionable

Lots of people do. E.g. the first user feedback comment in that article: "Advertising is bad because it’s fundamentally about influencing people to do things they wouldn’t do otherwise. [...]"

And every HN thread about advertising also has a variation of that sentiment.

That was a very interesting read! I've had W3W on my phone for a while now but never really needed to use it. On occasions I'd try finding my W3W in different parts of the house but didn't get reproducible results. Today was an eye-opener though as I used the W3W site to locate my position: all good.

Then I mis-typed my words and got a message "Invalid what3words address URL", but instead of not displaying anything it decided to re-locate me some 200+ miles away in The Strand, London, with 3 completely different words! WTF?! I have no idea how this happened, but if I was in an unsafe state and quoted these incorrect words, I'd be in big trouble!

What you say about Napoleon's political ambition is true. But talking about Napoleon only as a dictator is not understanding the historical context. The Republic was also very bloody; the times were bloody, not just under the rule of the corsican.

Isaac Newton dealt in slaves, Euler worked directly under the order of a bloody dictator... yet we can still talk and study their life, right?

Remember, we will all look terrible in 200 years from now, maybe because we use gasoline, or eat meat, or buy products made by children, or our capitalism, or our positino towards sex change or racial equality or whatever will shock people's future ethics and morale value. Maybe when I went shopping this morning I committed 15 cardinal sins of the future.

Why even come to this solar system when the amount of minable resources that isn't our solar system is so much greater?
I understand that technology is often a young-man's game. The drivers of the professional and hobbyist culture starts with college aged kids with lots of time on their hands, more or less. And a lot of that time is staying up late when it's quiet and no one is bothering you, coding, gaming, playing online, doing projects, etc.. at night, stereotypically while jacked up on caffeine.

But the stark reality is, when looking at anxiety and depression rates in this country we need to focus more on just how technology has become total immersion and reality augmenting to the point our brains never get to calm down from all the over-stimulation.

Quality sleep is one of many factors we could promote to reduce suicides and psychiatric disorders. The professional, educational and even hobbyist requirement that 20 somethings and teenagers spend endless hours at night attached to a screen needs to come with health hazard awareness akin to government warnings on packs of cigarettes, IMHO.
This is a brilliant thread and sums up neatly what's wrong with crypto space in general.

> 90% of your telegram/discord are scammers and people asking why price is going down/accusations that you and your entire team should go to jail.

So much this. The greed of get-rich-quick crowd is the biggest hurdle in the success of crypto. Remove the incentives from crypto projects and you'll see how the interest from general public decreases. After all no one cared about BTC until people figured out how to build a ponzi scheme out of it.
