Yeah, but that data would still be useful to track tax avoidance schemes.
India is not a part of NATO. India was one of the leaders of the Non-Alignment Movement, but did certainly bend a little towards the USSR.

USSR and post-USSR Russia has solidly backed India in many issues. When the US imposed bans on export of vaccine raw materials even after a month of assurances of special waivers for India, Russia agreed to supply and produce Sputnik V in a heartbeat.

Historically, here's one example- when US Ally Pakistan was committing a genocide and ethnic cleansing on its own people [0] (now the country of Bangladesh), and India was funding and training the rebels, the US sent Task Force 74 to deter India. And Russia sent cruisers, destroyer, and a nuclear armed submarine to balance the situation.

India won the war of 1971. And the independent country of Bangladesh was born.

I'm with you for every part of your comment except for this one.

Video replays are unpopular because they slow down matches and remove spontaneity and flow, but at least in North America (hockey, basketball, football) they absolutely do improve the quality of decisions and lead to more fair outcomes. Are you sure about your evaluation? Or is something weird with the AFL that makes it unique?
Stop spending the other $90 million a year.
The intergovernmental agreements signed with the US to enable FATCA reporting often also include a reciprocity clause requiring the IRS to provide information to foreign tax authorities - sections 3 and 4 of https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-14-64.pdf are a (possibly outdated) list of countries that the IRS has manual or automatic information sharing agreements with.
I actually got more interested in pranayama and breathing techniques after some experiences with N2O, nitrous oxide.

It helped me quite a lot at one point, and I have a theory that some of its dissociative effects are a similar mechanism as ketamine.

I would really love to do some more research on the link between the 3, but I feel incredibly out of my depth.
It's the same multiplying effect that software has on other business ventures. Software can be scaled, optimized, perform complex features, and duplicated without cost.
No new systems need to be developed, only a will to deploy existing systems. To the best of public knowledge, Curve25519 with AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 is good enough to keep the NSA out for years. These are available in TLS, OpenVPN, and WireGuard.

Longer term, TLS, OpenVPN, and WireGuard all need to standardize post-quantum key exchange (such as Chrome's TLS experiment to run Curve25519 and RLWE key agreement protocols in parallel and run both outputs through the final key derivation function). But, for today, the main problem is deployment.
In a thread about the US leveraging diplomacy to sway intelligence and military, the F-35 discussion seems to be well on topic. You might be tired of the horse flogging, but that's not really relevant.
While the interviews by themselves don't bring that much to the game, the media are a highly important part of those sports: tournaments get a lot of money from media coverage, and become more "famous" thanks to the media. It's a win situation and professional athletes are part of the show.

I've had bruxism my entire life. Headaches, TMJ, and jaw pain are what I've experienced.

Most people have back problems, so that could just be concomitant.

I used to live in an area with endemic Lyme disease, but contracting that would've presented all kind of other horrible symptoms.

I also have SCDS, likely from pushing too forcefully on the loo, loud noises, air pressure extreme changes, high blood pressure/swings, and congenital thinness as confirmed on CT. The fix require a middle fossa craniotomy approach.
People love myths and storytelling.
Hey, maintaining and providing support for a server that is de-coupled from underlying external integrations (storage, payment, secrets, email, ...) is what requires bandwidth.

Also, self-hosted consumer products are hard to sustain profitably. Avenues for monetization are low.

Given that our long term target audience is people like my parents, we did not see enough value in investing in a self-hosted variant, and wanted to reduce the number of distractions.

This is not to say that we are against the idea of a self-hosted variant, just that it is not a priority for us right now.
If the US decriminalised cocaine and other illegal drugs you would immediately put the cartels in a stranglehold financially. Upon this, you can start going after their "legitimate" interests in legal businesses like resorts and manufacturing.

Just like the US prohibition emboldened the Mob, drug prohibition emboldens the cartels.

The Mob used to literally have shootouts with police in the street.
Terror is a bit strong.
While they're less interested in that information than the US is, for the reason you explain, they're definitely still interested - many wealthy people who only pay tax in the country where they live still have substantial assets and income streams of various sorts overseas, which they must report in their local tax return.
This is why we can’t have nice things. How on earth do we make politicians do something that goes against their electoral interests?

It seems to be on paper, if you are working on a small item, with a target market of non-bottom quality product where you have a chance to charge a premium, this seems to be a no-brainer.
If you date the Internet from development of ARPANET in 1969, it really wasn't useful for 13 years after its development. For one, the general public couldn't get on it. Two, the early Internet basically consisted of running a packet-switched network on top of the existing circuit-switched phone network, at drastically reduced efficiency. That was the only other network that existed, after all. Three, DNS didn't exist until 1983, 14 years after ARPANET and 10 years after TCP/IP. Four, the protocols you mention also didn't exist until the 1980s, ~15 years after the technology was developed.

I too got on the Internet in the early 1990s with e-mail, FTP, Usenet, and MUDs. I'm not actually an early Internet user. That'd be folks like my friend's dad, who worked at BBN in the 1970s, or the folks at Symbolics, who registered the first domain name in 1985.
What do you mean when mentioning to Huawei and China? These words even don't exist in this article?

AFAIK, there is no actual evidence about Huawei spying with its 5G equipment.

They do, particularly in educational contexts - getting students interested in Wiki projects and having them write review articles with good sources as "homework" that can then be posted to Wikipedia. But supporting that takes money as well!

No doubt the 286 architecture peaked back then. I guess his assumption of no backward compatibility is where it went wrong. Intel kept piling on new architectures while keeping the old for application compatibility.
Adware has been a recurring issue on Windows since XP at least. I remember I used to get pop-ups for free smileys and mouse cursors. Of course, it's encouraged by Microsoft now.
That's a good point. But in such a case, it's neither cross-site tracking, nor ads. It's just Amazon's recommendations based on a shared IP address.

uBlock can be used to block both, "Sponsored" products, and Amazon's recommendations. But it won't help when using Amazon's native apps – which many people probably do.

You either have to use a VPN to hide your IP address (Mullvad seems to be trusted even by Mozilla), or at least switch to your mobile 4G/5G connection when doing anything more privacy sensitive.
No, push notifications were invented for a very useful purpose — to notify you when something has happened. You know, emails, instant messages, social media interactions, all that kind of stuff. But then some bright minds figured out that they can also be used to try to manipulate you into doing something that would make the charts go up, since charts going up is apparently the single most important thing in the modern IT industry.
Finally! The vast majority of these are in clear violation.

> The threat of unwarranted civil asset forfeiture.

That's exactly what I'm saying in my original comment, though. Do you think a government that wants to disown your assets cares if you have an entry in a database that proves that it's yours by law? THEY are the law, fuck your blockchain.

Again. People who are affected by this usually don't have the means to just log into Coinbase and buy some crypto. Even if, it's not like it's a very stable place to put your money in to.

You need some perspective.
Now remember kids.

There's only two political parties, so vote for the one that's going to win. It feels good to be on the winning team after all.

If you'd like to be a politician, daddy wasn't part of the political elite. You're gonna have to become a communist, or corrupt billionaire before people want to vote for you.

Lying, propaganda and fear mongering is allowed provided you only do it for votes. And to curry favours for donations.

You must harshly judge everyone else on their past -- especially when they were s teen-ager saying stupid stuff on Twitter. Don't worry as a politician, you're immune.

No matter what your opponent says, even if it's a fantastic idea. Shoot it down for the greater good.

Black people and minorities are a tool for pandering to or vilifying depending on the colour of your tie. They can't think for themselves after all.

War is a fantastic way to save the economy by confusing everyone.

And that kids is how you become president of USA/Canada/France or prime minister of UK/Australia/New Zealand.

The nato was created against the sowjetunion.

There is no more sowjetunion. And it is a bit frustrating, that we are in a new cold war right now, because people were too lazy(on both sides) to adjust after the wall came down. So yes, russia is an enemy again, hurey and sure it makes not much sense letting them gather direct data to boosten their air defence missiles. But this works in both ways, no? If you have the S400 - you can study extensivly its weaknessess.

Apart from that, china seems a bigger threat.
While this is a good tip, there could be strings attached though; recently I was working on a machine like this (not mine, acquired by another company) and it didn't seem possible to apply updates, just saying 'contact your system administrator to update'. So I told the company they'd need to sort that out eventually but they also had no clue, and they called the shop wehere they got it but there also no sane response. This is just one data point of course, but does make me wonder: if you as a normale non-enterprise customer gets this, how would you deal with issues like this?

I think it's fair to say that server costs and global reach of Wikipedia is up, and factor in some ambitious goals the current expenditure is not too unreasonable.

Money is a funny thing, in Denmark about $320 million is spent on Covid testing a month.
So from January to July that would be the equivalent of Wikipedia funding for 20 years.
The are several algorithms which could fairly and objectively divide up a region, like by minimizing the surface area of a number of equal population squares. So technically it's easy to solve.

The problem the courts have identified is that there are multiple ways to do it and each will benefit one side over another. So the court has no way to say which is correct and force a place to use a single algorithm.

But this is something the legislature could easily do - any algorithm is better than what we have now, it just needs to be fixed once and put into the constitution so it's hard to change.

Assuming your country's police force is sufficiently independent, then the extortion will fail when the perpetrators are arrested.

Technically yes, legalisation isn't the be all and end all, but then, what point is any law, if your justice system and law enforcement officers are thoroughly corrupt?

If the state security forces aren't going to follow the rules; what does it matter whether they are stronger or not? The only difference between them and the crime gangs is the crime gangs can balance a budget. A strong state that sees itself as above the law is no less dangerous than out of control crime gangs.
There is a difference between didn't pay attention to, and gave permission.

Having an AAAD (A2/AD) defense system poses a threat to bombing planes, missiles etc.. Defensive systems raise the cost of an invasion or bombing runs. You can threaten countries easily or in an easier manner when we deny them systems like the S400.

Interesting. We must have different articles.

so it's better to lose sovereignty now to the US than take the risk of a hypothetical Russian invasion? all these countries that have US bases in them are practically invaded without resistance. the US is friendly now but in 30 years who knows? imagine US being in a very tough situation. it's a no brainer for them to say "America first" and take whatever resources they can take from anywhere they can.

look at Turkey, specifically about F35. they got cut off from it by the US on a whim. they spent a lot of money on the F35 probably, instead of investing in their own fighter program and now they got nothing.
That's an interesting thought experiment. To make it a bit more analogous, posit that Cuba forced a US Puerto Rico-bound aircraft to land in Havana in order to arrest a Cuban journalist. What do you think the US response would have been?

Is there a entry point for "how to make FOSS contributions to wiki-projects". I at the very least would be interested in finding out how all the pieces fit together, and maybe browsing the big list to see if anything was in my wheelhouse.

Edit: And thank you for some insight into the back end of wikipedia - I did not know multiple languages was such a big push and it is such a sensible direction . Keep up the good work and keep pestering me for cash each year.
I think the typical house rules (no auctions, cash on free parking) are to make the game more tolerable for younger children.

Auctions are complicated, and a child with little money is angered when their sibling gets the property they landed on for a discount.

Fwiw, I have a degree in chemistry and it never occurred to me that generics would potentially have a different chiral mixture to the original.

Given that we know (like you point out) that different enantiomers can have very different effects, it seems particularly dangerous for generics to be marketed as alternatives to the branded drug when, in some cases, they really are not.
Great, way to many businesses have attempted to just cruise along, making some symbolic change or hoping that they could just buy a "GDPR" solution and stick it on their website.

Some of the 3. party solution provider are going to have a problem if Noyb wins. They sold solution which they most have known could not be complaint, but they did so anyway because their customers wanted to pretend that the GDPR doesn't exists.
There are clearly a lot of self-hosting options.

Anyone know something that actually replaces that functionality on Android?
I can really get behind your first bullet. Taking clearly defined medical terminology and exporting to strange contexts just sound like nonsense to anyone that uses those terms with any regularity.

I read the piece and I felt it lacking in nuance. Especially the latter part passing a rather harsh value attribution on modern medication. Which doesn't seem in line with the author characterizing themselves multiple times as a physician throughout the piece

That's when I got curious and looked at the author's name.

> Theodore Dalrymple.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Dalrymple

Well, that's in line with what I'd expect from him and the ideological traditions he represents through his writings. The author purposely romanticizes the past because it fits his reactionary stance against many contemporary norms and values prevalent in Western society. In this article, the implicit conclusion reads: Dadd's talent and hard work causing the Victorians to treat him differently despite of his condition. And so, people today just have to take agency over their own lives in order to uplift themselves as a moral duty to society, regardless of their condition.

Of course, that's just not how the human mind works. I totally agree, at worst, this is a harmful line of thinking to follow.
The word transplant came to Old English from Latin via Old French, so it predates transplant operations by many centuries. As such, unless the neighbour was doing it on purpose it's an unreasonable thing to get upset over. Words have multiple meanings.
