One of the problems I have with such sentiments is that while probably most women were homemakers, most men had jobs like subsistence farmers.

My father could remember when his mother had no choice but to cook from scratch because they had no fridge and there were no prepackaged convenience foods and microwaves had not yet been invented.

"Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold" described a typical diet for a poor person of the time when that was written: A hot vegetarian meal with legumes, not meat, providing the protein for lunch and cold leftovers of the same for dinner.

It was critical to the survival of the species for someone to cook regularly and it made sense for myriad reasons for it to be the mother, not the father, for most families.

This was rooted in part in a lack of reliable birth control. Virginity until marriage and insisting the parents were responsible for the welfare of the children was the best we could do in most places on earth for much of human history.

A lot of people lacked many things we think of as "basic" today, such as food security, hygiene and birth control. Such people probably mostly were not dreaming of intellectually interesting careers and having their name remembered by future generations.

I'm glad to see we currently have the means for people to worry about such things. But it's a mistake to project such hopes and dreams overly much on people who often were dreaming much more humble dreams, like not starving to death this winter.

It sounds like you're stuck with that definition. Sometimes it's better to save money, in order to productively allocate it later. Spending non-productively is a detriment to economy and environment.

And, because people are free to choose the better money, you can't do anything to prevent it from taking over anyway.
I already have to show my ID to get into some events, and that has my full name, DoB, weight, address, and organ donor status on it. Date of vaccination hardly seems more sensitive than any of those. I could certainly imagine categories of health data that raise concerns but honestly this isn't it.

Whatever you do, do not donate to the PM Cares Fund. It's transaction is supposed to be open to the public, but it is not. Requests made to Right To Information Act was denied every time. So please stay away from it.

Here are some suggestions-

1. Gunj - active in very rural and remote areas

2. Akshaya Patra - currently involved in feeding the poorest of the poor

3. Ramakrishna Mission - Religious organization but honest as hell in serving those in need

4. Red Volunteers - They are volunteers from the Communist Party doing amazing work, as is covered in media and seen by me, but they don't have a centralized payments system

5. CM funds of some states are tranparent, but I would stay away. States like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Odisha come to mind.

I would suggest Ramakrishna Misiion and Akshaya Patra as I have seen their work first hand. And you would find it easy to donate to them.

I am sorry for the losses you and your friends have experienced. I came here to provide a contrarian view just so that the readers here do not get a skewed view of what is going on.

I agree with you that the actual deaths are at least 10X and possibly 100X more than the official numbers. But nobody in my family has been tested positive with COVID-19 or died of COVID-19 or any other illness in the last 2 years. I know many friends and colleagues too whose entire families have been safe in this pandemic. There are a few who have lost a family member to COVID-19. Some of them got infected and recovered. But most of the people in my circle and their families are safe.
The whole point of the book is that it's not necessary for publishers to be controlled by the state for the state to control public opinion.

what a completely unprofessional post

Some copy paste from previous posts

Exception based error handling is so bad and unsafe that adopting functional error handling with Either, Try etc as implemented by functional addon libraries for many languages, while not yet common, in time it will become the new default even in OO languages. (just like it's been the default in functional languages for decades)

Functional error handling types are much simpler, safer and more powerful.

Simpler because they don't rely on dedicated syntax- they're just regular objects no different to any other object.

Safer because unlike exceptions, they force callers to handle all potential outcomes, but no more. (no risk of ignoring errors and no risk of catching a higher level of error than desired, ubiquitous bugs in exception based error handling)

Powerful because they support map, flatmap, applicative etc, making it easy to eg chain multiple computations together in desired ways, which is unwieldy and bug prone when using exceptions.

What is wrong about dedicated syntax

It adds complexity to the language! It could be that, when learning Java, Kotlin and any other language, we learn that methods return objects... and that's that. No weird dedicated syntax and magic, special treatment for returning anything other than the happy path, and the HUGE complexity that comes with it, eg the dedicated syntax itself and how it behaves, differences between checked and unchecked exceptions, hierarchies of exceptions etc etc.

that makes our lives easier and our work more efficient

But that's our point, it doesn't.

Exceptions based error handling is unnecessary, hugely complex, doesn't compose at all, obfuscates or straight up hides what can go wrong with any given call, so leads to countless trivially preventable bugs... I could go on. And after decades of use, there's still no consensus about what exceptions should be or how they should be used. Exceptions are a failed experiment and I have no doubt that in ten years, Java, Kotlin and many other languages will acknowledge as much and move away from it the same way Joda Time outcompeted and replaced the horrible Java date and time library.

Why have HTML email in the first place? No other messaging client lets you send entire HTML documents as messages. Just send me some words and a link to click on in a proper browser. The fact that HTML email is so bloated and a nightmare to eyeballs eveywhere is (IMO) a huge reason why conversations (even professional ones) shifted over to Slack, SMS, WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc. I want a place to talk to people, not to shitty template engines. But if you're going to automate my conversation, use words, not posters.

Andrew Lee's company invested a lot in their new IRCd.

This was direct inteference in the server operations, something they claimed would never happen at the time of the sale.

> it quickly starts that instead, which renames itself to firefox, overwriting the old version? What would be wrong with that?

You'd have to enable all users to replace files owned by root somehow - which is a bad idea. Alternatively you'd have to somehow extend the packaging to support owning either/or file and being able to verify the installed files that way - which would be a massive change.
You’ll also need an old version of Java installed that will certainly be EOL with no security patches back ported.

OP said relatives, which adds extended family.

I can't imagine what could go wrong with showing a random pool of your users suspected CSAM, beheadings, animal cruelty, and so on. Just out of curiosity, what do you plan to do in the unlikely case that you can't get people to do this grueling work for free? Just leave all of that content on the site?

It does mean that you won't be able to act on anything except the grossest of abuse. Given the hyper-partisan divide in America, you'd never get 10 people to agree on any case with even a whiff of politics. People will not vote on "is this abusive", they'll vote on "do I agree with this".

But, hey it's not all bad. Want some viewers for your video? Here's a growth hacking tip: Just have a friend file an abuse complaint against it, and you'll get it sent into the jury rotation pool.
Take that one shotgun suicide viral video incident on TikTok. Do you really think that should be shown to "a jury of random users" to decide whether it is safe to view?

Now imagine periodically reviewing videos like this being your 'duty'. In addition to scarring your users for life, they'd be leaving in droves, and you'd be inundated in lawsuits.

Kubernetes doesn't attempt to be an API that can solve any orchestration issue, it is an abstraction on the underlying architecture. It's a lot easier to be backwards compatible here (and if you are not, create an operator that is).

Now whether its the right abstraction is a matter of debate. But ultimately like VMs or containers, its so far proven to be a valuable tool, at least for medium sized companies.

SaaS rule on the internet "Every payment service becomes like PayPal. Every social network becomes Facebook. Every search engine becomes Google."

Most people at these company are fine people. There are forces (revenue, survival instanct, compliance, network effect, competition, being a monopol is nice, ...) that drive these companies. PayPal, Google, Facebook are the end state of the current forces in the market.

You do need to remove one or several of those (e.g. revenue driven) to end up in a different end state.
Nix is an incredibly far-sighted vision, and it's great to work with... once you get your head around it all. I much prefer to build containers using it, and it does a much better job of "provisioning" than any other tool I've used.

I'm just trying to understand how insensitive it is to comment on a thread where OP is clearly someone who has either suffered loss or has an entire network suffering loss, and then go full strong systemiser and ask for a reference.

The absurdity of asking is even stronger when almost any understanding of the situation on the ground in India would mean an understanding that there is widespread and systemic problems with data collection in India, essentially as there has been throughout the pandemic globally, reflecting the difficulty of determining infection rates, CFR vs IFR and deaths in a testing scarcity environment.
I don't know for sure but I would anticipate that there is a good chance that many indian deaths are never registered which would make other post pandemic methods of determining true 'excess mortality' very difficult.

The particular irony in this whole post extending from your question being that the BBC itself, in the linked article, in the second paragraph, states that 'experts say the real death toll is several times higher'.

Now that isn't your 1-2 magnitudes but you don't have to travel far from there to get those types of sources, but depending on how strong-systemiser you go on requiring hard numbers, the fact is no-one will ever know because no one is counting

This would definitely end up with most users not wanting to sift through whatever case they get "assigned", and the platform effectively being moderated by a big group of power users. You can already see this happening with Reddit. A handful of people control the subs that make up for like 40% of the content on the site.

Also this completely breaks down when you start talking about having a jury agree on what is/isnt hate speech or something similar. You are never going to get an agreement on that.
