The difference betweeen what Tether says and what Apple says is that Apple actually have to follow regulated practices in reporting their cash. All that Tether is saying is that they have about half their reserves in commercial paper with no details of what the risk profile of that is at all. And given that they don't need to report this to anyone, and they'd get to keep all the profits from riskier bets, it seems quite likely not to follow regulatory standards- which they actively claim to get around by saying they don't operate in the US (despite being a tether for USD)
Perhaps. I rephrased it to be reflective that I would like the English officials to be treated like trash because, if you actually read the article, the treatment is inhumane.

I have a lot of gripe with the English for how they treat other people, perhaps if they get a taste of their own medicine they may snap back to reality and forget the greatness that was their empire (obviously /s).

Very very few people want unrestricted immigration, however ~50% of people want unrestricted immigration from the EU on a reciprocal basis. We had that for years, with the economic and social consequences being largely positive.

That said, I don't take it as a given that unrestricted immigration would cause problems; it has never been tried, there is no data to go on.
This creates two types with quotes in their type names, and then creates a union type of the two? Then the compiler needs to determine if the token's context requires a type or a value, and disambiguate accordingly?

In the example above, the created type "Scala" is distinct from a type Scala, correct?

I did some quick poking around for Scala literal types, but I found stuff like https://github.com/jeremyrsmith/literal-types , which don't look like the example above.
British people wanting to live and work in Europe will have to apply under Europe's rules. Seems fair. British people who have been evading existing rules and now have no basis to stay in Europe are being told to leave. Also fair.
I really cant blame you for this. Please just keep in mind that, as mentioned in another post, the population is almost 50/50 split on this. It is not just the Scots that are caught in the middle. There is a large amount of English also opposed to this.

A lot of us have spouses from EU countries and we watch in horror as people like Priti Patel turns the UK into her version of 1984.

Chances are very high that those brits that travel to the EU, who might get this vindictive treatment, are not the ones that voted for Brexit.
They are supporting it in that they consider this newsworthy.
I just watched the most recent Last Week Tonight, and there was a clip of a man whose mother refused the vaccine, caught COVID, and is now in the ICU on a ventilator. He was asked if he was going to get vaccinated, and he said he still wasn't sure.

I really wish that stick worked, but it seems like it won't, at least not universally. But presumably there are some people for whom it will work, if one of their loved ones gets infected and ends up in a bad way.
Considering a new job? A list that helps with making the right decision (sales)

This is concerning, but with a sample size of 50, I don't think there's enough evidence to claim that "The study shows that PFAS contamination of breast milk is likely universal in the US".
One is allowed to attend a job interview, but this needs to be arranged before landing in the UK. Better carry an invitation letter when the friendly border agent asks for it.

What’s worrying though is the apparent bias towards detaining young women from southern/eastern Europe. Racial/national profiling?

The cool thing about Syncthing is their public network of community provided relay servers https://relays.syncthing.net/

When two devices can't find each other on the local network they look for each other on public discovery servers and then pick a community provided relay to connect. The data is end-to-end encrypted between both devices, so the relay doesn't see the file contents. This works out of the box on almost all networks. Unfortunately IPv6 doesn't seem to work with their public relay network though...

Yup, but the whole notion of sovereignty has become so remote an bizarre to folks living in Europe that this is shocking news to most.

AFAIK at best it depends upon number of layers, what kind of layers, fit, droplets (and size) vs. aerosols, humidity, interpersonal distance and dwelling time, and of course ventilation. Given the framing of the "mask debate" in the US with essentially no frequent or defining mention of face covering quality/qualities, essentially it seems like Cargo-cult science at the restrictions/policy level. There are people who meet the requirements essentially breathing through stretched or O(500um) single-layer mesh.

I have not looked closely enough at electret properties to know if meshes with larger pore sizes can really stop 0.06um virus particles. (Or 10nm according to this https://www.news-medical.net/health/The-Size-of-SARS-CoV-2-C... )

It's been 3 months.

Don't want to list the username, even tho it looks like a throwaway -- it wasn't listed explicitly as such.

Also, I would like to be able to close the feedback loop on all these Ask HN threads -- to see if who is giving good advice, what that advice is, etc.

I think the commenters here have forgotten that we are in the middle of a pandemic, that the government has implemented a strict travel ban which also applies to British citizens, and that this policy was vigorously supported by the Guardian just a few weeks ago.

Visa-free travel between the EU and UK is allowed for up to 30 days (for holidays, etc). This is pandemic policy, nothing to do with immigration or Brexit, no need to air all your pro-immigration views here.
Depends on how big it is.

For me, my base salary is quite enormous, but with some work I could find something within 20%. (I am exceptionally lucky, its not skill)

However, what I can't replace is the stocks. Depending on performance its ~3-5 times my already vastly over inflated annual wage. So I'm stuck here at the boring FAANG company not achieving very much, because to walk away from a small fortune would be madness.

There is no real incentive to work harder, because the difference between working a normal 35hour work week, and the 75 hour week required for promotion is another 10% on base.
Some people in high-risk groups are not vaccinated, mostly due to allergies or other medical conditions.

Low-risk people can still become infected, never show symptoms, and pass the virus to someone else without realizing it. Risking that happening while a vaccine is available is just irresponsible and selfish.

Throughout this pandemic, my biggest fear was not getting COVID myself, but unwittingly giving it to someone vulnerable who then died.
No. It's a Singleton type, which means that instead of just being a String, it has to be exactly the String "Scala".

i.e.

val x: "scala" = "scala" // would compile

val y: "scala" = "java" // would produce a compile error

Union types are an orthogonal concept, and work as you'd expect:

val z: String | Int = "foo"
You can see them adjusting in the last 30 seconds or so of this SN15 recap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CZTLogln34

This animation shows some of the movements the engines can pull off https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/kf25kr/starsh...

In the recap video they are only using two engines though. I think on SN15 they relit all 3, and then the guidance computer picked either the two most stable (in the case one of them didn't relight properly), or the two with the best lever arm for the landing trajectory, then shut the remaining one down. Earlier landings tried just one (I think there's enough thrust and maneuverability to do it) but there was no redundancy if it failed.
First, it was a response to perjoritive comments about the English. Second, I made no perjoritive comments about the Scottish, just Scottish Nationalists. I know many excellent Scots.
Fauci, and way too many Medical Doctors, seemed guenuinly confused over the efficacy of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of he Covid virus.

A lot medical professionals were claiming the average person wearing a mask will make things worse by putting it on ineffectively.

I heard one doctor say, "All it takes is one virus particle to become infected. I haven't heard any doctor talk about Viral Loads, even now.

My point is our medical professionals seemed as much in the "I just don't know?" catagory as the rest of us with this virus.

I'm still shocked researchers found a vaccine.
> EU citizens arriving in UK being _locked up_ and expelled

I think you missed the point. The problem is not only controlling entry depending on their migration status (fair enough), but the process itself, which is meant to humiliate and scare people (hostile environment).

The conditions in these detention places are degrading and people have to stay there for several days even when they say they will voluntarily go back in the first flight.

If you found some mistake with your paperwork when landing in another country I think you would appreciate being given the choice of going back immediately instead of being locked up for a few days.
. Singapore is at 31% one shot(from your link), US is at 47 and rising. Of course you would still be able to get spikes in cases at only 31%, that’s expected.

The mRNA vaccines are stupendously effective at stopping all variants thus far. Not sure what evidence aside from fear point to covid being able to mutate past them.

We good, and it’s ok to accept that and have hope, not everything has to be fear-for-the-worst
Not a Scottish, let alone a nationalist, I am just a person that thinks the English haven't suffered the consequences of their imperialism and need to get down of their high horse.
Sorry to hear that! We will keep working to make it better, there are certainly many things that need to improve
Semantically that's correct, but when talking about rockets people think about actual real rockets, not theoretical ones. I guess this is one of those instances where the words we use and their exact meanings differ from what we mean.
Yes, the article is a bit misleading. One is allowed to travel to the UK for a job interview if the interview has already been lined up before landing.

It is illegal to enter on a tourist visa and look for work. Always has been.
No wonder. I didn't plan on getting a new machine but when I saw the M1 Air, I had to have it. 2 friends saw my machine and both bought their own few days later.

You're saying he committed securities fraud for a higher moral purpose and you're moderately confident that the fact it led to him briefly becoming the richest man in the world didn't motivate him in any way?

That's quite an interesting claim.

"someone's gaining jobs and someone's losing jobs"

More jobs = more jobs for everyone. If I immigrate to your country nobody looses a job; I get given a job that a native was unwilling or unable to take. My economic contribution to the society will also increase the total number of available jobs, meaning more jobs for everyone.
Probably this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/05/liberal...

It's not just the mask wearing either. It's things with much more substantial actual harm, like keeping schools closed well past the point it was unjustified, along with the belief that anyone who won't deny kids education is evil and a completely inaccurate understanding of the level of risk to them.

Also, you're politicizing mask wearing right here in your comment: "It's funny, because my perception is the opposite of yours: that people who refuse to wear masks have turned that into a political identity. That somehow refusing to wear a mask is the patriotic, freedom-loving thing to do. When the fact is that they're just selfish, and view that refusal as marking themselves as part of a tribe." That you think of anyone who doesn't wear a mask as an evil, selfish right-winger is 100% politicisation.
NCine – A cross-platform 2D game engine
Populations usually split one third reactionary, one third progressive, and one third will-vote-how-they're told.

If the policy is "popular" - which it isn't, except among the reactionaries - it's in no small measure because the UK media have normalised this kind of abuse.

This kind of thing is almost a predictable syndrome associated with post-colonialism. Other countries have been through it, now it's the UK's turn.

When countries lose their empires/influence, racism and fascism provide a compensation that can temporarily restore childish fantasies of omnipotence.

It's associated with a death wish, so things generally get worse - sometimes much worse - before they get better.
Are they politely asked to leave? Or are they thrown into detention centers and humiliated, despite willing to pay for the ticket to leave?
Definitive guide to a strong product portfolio
This is getting to be a mindless discussion so this'll be my last response on it

>> Issue 100 million shares at 0.01 cents per share and go public. That's now a $10k dollar public company. Next, you do an increase in capital stock by selling 1 million additional shares at 0.5 dollars per share to gullible investors. See how that works and why public valuation based on share value isn't always the most useful tool in assessing a company's finances

Tesla's free float is worth over $453 billion and over $20 billion worth of stock trades each day. This isn't a penny stock whose illiquid float can be pushed around like that.

Regarding company finances, after its capital raise last year TSLA has a large cash balance. $17.4 billion at the most recent quarter end. A few hundred million from the bitcoin sale doesn't move the needle.

What matters when you're considering whether Musk would do this or not is whether it would be material to him. It wouldn't because most of his wealth is tied to the value of his stock, which in turn is tied to the market value of the company. The bitcoin profits made an impact of maybe a tiny fraction of a percent of the value of the company and his wealth. Not worth 5 minutes of his time over 3 months.

He updated his view to the correct one. Do you really want to be part of a lynch mob that makes it harder for public company CEOs to update their view to the correct one by coming out with tinfoil conspiracies to explain actions that were probably just the result of lack of attention?
You don't sound paranoid at all.
Most of the problems happened coz governments world over believed the WHO who in turn were compromised by the CCP. Don't governments/people believe in "Trust but verify" anymore. Everyone parroted the same grey truths which CCP was feeding the world.

Also the election year was another factor in politicizing each and everything.
The UK government has been quite repressive against its own citizens lately, so I would not expect them to treat foreigners any better. I had been planning to move to the UK before last December's deadline for getting the pre-settled status, but the "snitch on your neighbour" campaign during lockdowns convinced me otherwise.
The Home Office said, "suspected offences". Funny that the "Sovreign State" tried this in Scotland, isn't it?

BeIA was still only x86/IA32. BeIA was very clever. It used a compressed file system and an ELF compression scheme, so in 8MB/16MB you could fit the entire OS install and still have space free... but it was not ever really embedded in the sense of running on low powered ARM or similar. There wasn't even a PowerPC/POWER port, despite BeOS originally running exclusively on PowerPC up till R3, when Intel was added.
I think no. It erodes trust in medical institutions, and now we reap what was sown.

The same thing was done in other countries, including mine (Finland). Result: covid deniers are still using the year-old statements from national health agency to downplay the significance of masks.

"Masks are useless; the officials themselves say so", they quote.

Big mistake not to be honest, even if it leads to criticism against the government for inadequate preparation.

Yes, it has always been illegal to travel to the UK on a tourist visa and then look for work.

However, when the UK was an EU member this was perfectly legal for EU citizens to do. Now it is not. So it does have to do with Brexit.

When a user starts recording, websocket continuously sends audio and receives probable transcriptions. You can observe this process in logs live as well. Whenever the program detects a word match within a currently active window it moves the current position to the position of this match and then revisits previously processed words to see if there are any updates.

A drawback of this method is that if a user pronounces all the words wrong it won't move forward and a user might think the program simply lags. But basing the current word position on a transcription input length is too chaotic from my experience.

Or did you ask about the general idea of the site? If so - it's for automatic pronunciation check. There are many apps that do this with predefined words and phrases. With this site a user can check and practice any text. I think it's a good fit for detecting mistakes in pronunciation while preparing to make a public speech or to record an audio/video to put it on the internet. It's aimed primarily at non-native speakers, but a native speaker can find it useful for polishing their enunciation as well.
You appear to be ignorant of the history of the British Empire and the role the Scots played in it. One point worth mentioning: the motivation for the union between England and Scotland was that the Scottish had bankrupted themselves in their own attempts to form an empire (Google the Darien Scheme). The Scots were not conquered; they voluntarily joined the Union.

The British Empire was not the English Empire, and the Scottish played as much of a role in its formation and administration as the English.
What's the fact that it was in Scotland got to do with it?

It's baseless to believe that the home office would target something in Sturgeons constituency on some particular day, especially when there's no political advantage to be drawn by said act.

Immigration law applies to Scotland too; until there's a nice border there (but that's another topic).
