It is to set your expectations. You can't expect to find a woman who has the same interests as you unless you have relatively girly interests. The further you are from girly interests the more you have to lower your expectations.

For example, most relatively nerdy guys will stay single forever if he looks for a woman that likes similar things. If you aren't happy with staying single forever you should therefore realize that you need to compromise and accept that you will get a girly woman rather than the woman of your dreams.
The systems are messy because the rules, variations, exceptions, etc. that they're attempting to model are also messy. At least that's my experience working on (in part) billing software for an existing, older industry.
So. It turns out that the EU propaganda may have been just as misleading about US vaccine exports as everything else - although no finished vaccines came from the US, apparently a good chunk of the raw drug substance which AstraZeneca packaged up into vaccines from the EU market was imported from the US early on: https://www.politico.eu/article/astrazeneca-vaccine-shortfal...

Why not give employees the choice? Google already claims to hire 'the best'; do they not trust 'the best' to capably manage their own productivity wrt wherever they decide to work?
If it was financing, lack of payment would just use collections like every other financial product. It’s a solved problem, your problem is with the bank and not the product manufacturer. They are acting like a lender and insurer (for themselves) at the same time.

It’a a strange pay-for-non-existent-service scheme designed to artificially reduce MSRP, while using fear to reduce their risk. On a personal safety device. It’s disgusting.
>I can't say what's driving all the playerbase losses

It's because the current culture at Blizzard is dominated by theorycrafting eggheads who believe that the poor, misguided players aren't playing the game "properly" and need to be told what to do.

That’s...not actually skipping Google.

> But what number of of 'former 100% google users' need to change to alternative sources before it's okay for people to say 'for many, google has been dying' ?

The premise of the question—that it is meaningful to say Google is “dying” based on exits without considering entrances, and the only question is what number of exits to use as a threshold—is fundamentally flawed.
Yup that's exactly right. Google classifies office leases as "Ego stroking and miscellaneous". It's right there in the SEC filings.

Glad to hear they are open sourcing, and I hope it works well for them.

I think being open source is going to be required to get pyston supported by the rest of the python community. As i know for many organisations I have worked for python kind of sneaked in the back door, and without being open source, would have limited the viability. Once in it becomes easier to add support.

I think there is a good opportunity to sell support / consultancy services around performance for python, and having the engineers optimising the runtime able to be leveraged adds a lot of value. Essentially becoming for python what azul is for the jvm.
Are you sure?

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Quicktime on a SE/30 was not able to display fullscreen videos at 24 fps. Also, the dithering used in QuickTime was an ordered dithering, which IMO is pretty ugly and eats details.

> I have to say that mirrorless is just superior

I think for the most part I'd agree with you, there's definitely a lot of upsides in mirrorless systems, especially in terms of flexibility. I will say though that the screens in mirrorless EVFs are often lackluster in comparison to optical view finders in my opinion. In particular frame rate of the EVF is problematic for me.
> Local consumers will be able to cancel the YouTube Premium service immediately and will be eligible for refunds based on their remaining subscription period, the Korea Communications Commission said after receiving Google's voluntary corrective measures.

South Korea's Communications Service Act Article 50 forbids communications service providers, such as YouTube, from refusing to refund remaining subscription, so Google "voluntarily" corrected this. Strangely, as far as I know this is not available outside South Korea. Why Google? You voluntarily corrected this.

You may want to explicitly test for a type depending on the interface contract. If you build software for consumption by others, you may want to ensure that, whatever the inputs, it’ll always return something you said would be returned. While the consumer would be insane not to verify what you sent, it’s polite not to send a complex number when someone is expecting a count.

I'm not sure that even unlimited funding would get us there anytime soon.

Human mental health is a very difficult & intractable problem to solve in part because we have a very poor understanding of the closest thing we currently have to AGI-- ourselves.

I had an aerodynamics / rocket science professor in grad school who used to say 'planes are as reliable as toasters', and the reason for that is the literal 40 million flights per year. Planes can explode just as easily as rockets can. The reason planes have a much less risky failure mode is because we've flown them for billions of hours, not because we've added a ton of redundancies to them.

In fact many of the structural 'factors of safety' in airplanes are only 1.5, as opposed to a FOS of 8 in your car.

So again, it's not about just tacking on redundant systems, it's about getting the experience required to understand all the failure modes. The only times planes crash these days is when we encounter a new failure mode. Rocketry will get there as well.

Add onto this that many or most of the mountains in the area are active volcanoes that are overdue for an eruption, and the Seattle area could be in for a real bad time over the next 250 years.

Yikes. I'm a very keen RTS player and I couldn't disagree with this any more strongly. Starcraft is a very milquetoast RTS that follows a basic formula and takes no risks. It's the Marvel movie of RTS games.

Displaced persons camps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_persons_camps_in_pos...

When it's said that the concentration camps were "liberated", this mostly means that the guards on the fences were changed, and any intentional killings were stopped. But it took quite some time to actually empty the camps. From the Harrison report:

>We appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them except that we do not exterminate them. They are in concentration camps in large numbers under our military guard instead of S.S. troops. One is led to wonder whether the German people, seeing this, are not supposing that we are following or at least condoning Nazi policy.

This was in August 1945, three months after Germany surrendered. Moving millions of people around in postwar Europe wasn't easy, or quick.

Obviously, all sides destroyed railways or bridges when possible. What few left operational were running at capacity just moving food, troops, and critical replacement parts. If you're a Allied junior lieutenant, and you're put in charge of a camp of 50,000 people, do you just throw open the gates, and tell them to walk home? If there was food to buy, which there wasn't, (Everyone had conscripted all their farmers. Europe had food supply problems for years afterward) they didn't have any money to buy it. Nobody had ration cards. They were lucky to have identity papers at all.

And, of course, the Allies were correctly paranoid about security. The countryside was littered with weapons. Let a starving DP out of a camp, a few days later he might be sorely tempted to pick up a fallen rifle and ambush the next checkpoint he sees.

Or... you could just leave them in the camp, where they're all in one place, not clogging the roads, where you can more or less feed them, and where you can eventually get around to handing out Nansen passports, when you feel like it.
Yes, it gets to terminal velocity pretty quickly, it's decelerating for most of the fall as the atmosphere gets denser.

Estimated kinematics from a prior flight.

edit: To clarify, a drop from 100km would not hit terminal velocity quickly, it would accelerate until it got to the thicker lower atmosphere where it would be rapidly slowed.

The short answer is as a single person with a significant amount of expendable income, I buy a lot of toys. The long answer is I buy almost everything except for food off of Amazon. Need a couch, get it off Amazon, want a shiny new video game controller, Amazon, clothing, Amazon.

What “Thinking: Fast and Slow” Got Wrong
Yes same, was pretty easy over chat. However I'd probably resubscribe if they made it easier to cancel. Sometimes I get news overload and want to cut down on publications for a bit. If I could subscribe for a few months, cancel, then resubscribe again with no hassles I'd do it (and do that for other things).

Fwiw I think slack absolutely nails this and is a net positive for them in the long run. They automatically refund inactive users which means you don't need to "think" too much about adding people. I wish more companies would experiment with this kind of "honest" billing vs expending all their effort on layer upon layer of dark patterns.
Lines of code are a very big deal in an organizational context that cares about test coverage. Since all the error handling ceremony is written by hand, so too must a corresponding test case for each instance of the error-handling ceremony be written by hand. Typing out test suites for functions that compose several other error-returning functions is bureaucratic drudgery.

Well, it's explicitly stated that productivity is not their top priority, right? "We’ll move to a hybrid work week where most Googlers spend approximately three days in the office and two days wherever they work best." That's an explicit recognition that they're expecting not to get the best work from a bunch of people for approximately three days a week; presumably senior management is fine with this, or they wouldn't have done it or said it.
I’m excited to see life in the Diablo franchise after (personal opinion) the abomination that was Diablo 3.

But I’ve really lost trust in the company and have a hard time imagining Diablo 4 being much better than Diablo 3.

Diablo 2 Resurrected looks intriguing and seems to be going about things in the right way, involving the community, etc. but I believe it’s a contract job by a third party? I have a hard time imagining Blizzard proper ever making a single-player, offline-friendly game.
I didn't up or downvote, but to me, your comment sounds like generic yelling about how almost everything (other than consumer and employee protection) is overreach and a shitty law while citing no examples at all, then complaining about downvotes.
My guess is that Amazon is in such a strong position with its suppliers that they don't have to care.

I know a story of a guy who tried to sell a product via MediaMarkt. (A somewhat big German retailer) You have to take everything unsold back. They only pay you after 6 month. The world for a small retailer is usually the other way around. Pay upfront and sit on unsold stock.
MediMarkt is small in comparison to Amazon. That is why they don't care if you tell them 10 month later that you don't like your "new" TV. It's not their loss.

You're looking for an EF to EOS R mount adapter. I think the general consensus on adapters is overall positive, but you will be making some slight concessions in autofocus performance and image quality pending the specific adapter/lens combo.

SuperDracos use hypergolic propellants, which can't be sourced on Mars. So SpaceX isn't using them on Starship.

For me the issue is, that in attempts to modernize the WoW, they alienated the game for me, as I no longer feel welcome in the game. The kinds of game interactions I used to have are gone. Game wants to put me into some bounds that make me feel uneasy. It tries to force me into a playstyle I don't like. And, worse of all, they periodically are trying to remind that they did not forget about players like me, so my hope is not gone but they constantly fail to deliver those promises, disappointing me again and again. I'm in a kind of weird love-hate relationship with WoW.
> The Europeans mostly ignored it because it was far away

This is totally wrong. A myth made up by nationalist American historians. This played into larger 'military all idiots' narrative that was popularized after WW1.

However it is incorrect in multiple ways. First of all, the European military did observe the war quite a bit and had officers write up a lot of leanings.

However much of that was already very old and outdated by WW1. The Russia-Japan war and the British-Boar war were far in terms of learning for WW1. These were observed as well.

The everybody predicted 'short war' narrative taught in popular history is not really all that correct.

Instead we get more "shoehorn every kind of app into a web page" innovations.
