I am from Brazil, I've been working remotely for US companies for 4+ years. Here's some advice: Open an EIRELI type of company (not a MEI), find a job that give you equity as a person and a salary as a company contractor. Ask for no benefits. Should not be that hard to find a job, since US pays so much. You will have to setup yourself health insurance and other stuff, so don't go for 60k, as there will be taxes involved too. Ask for 80k minimum because of all that.
The lines of the one in your picture are a bit softer, rounder, where those of the one in the GP's link are a bit more squared off. I'm guessing same basic model, but yours a few years older and theirs younger; yours before and theirs after the mid-model-life facelift.
>The birth rate had already dropped, and had been dropping for over a decade, before the policy kicked in.

That was due to the original 2-child policy from the 70s. To rephrase accurately: "family planning" prevented ~300M births, adjusted downward from 400M since 100M+ previously unregistered birth was logged since reversion to two child policy again. There's no credible analysis that suggest PRC family planning policies did not directly and dramatically reduce population. 300M IUDs and 100M sterilizations aren't placebos.
The high cost of living is the outcome of sky-high productivity in the relevant industry, plus congestion (e.g. lack of new housing) that makes it impossible for the industry to grow in place. That's how local people become a scarce factor and their compensation gets inflated.

It's the norm in international companies.

I'm in Europe and work daily with colleagues doing exactly the same work, with the same bosses, but located in a different country (like Germany, the US…). Everybody perfectly knows that they are paid much more than us. Some people also worked there for a while and accepted a large pay cut to move where they wanted.

Well if we're not happy with that, we can try to find a job over there. Honestly I don't think most people feel bad about it.
> People rarely prostitute themselves (or others) for tobacco though.

Because it's easier to get tobacco. Just ask someone, or pick up left-over pieces from the streets and build a new cigarette out of it. It's what I see certain homeless people doing all the time.

Conclusions/interpretation

A short-term HFD in overweight/obese men induced substantial alterations in lipid- and amino acid-related serum metabolites. Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness were similar regardless of the time of day of exercise training.

However, improvements in glycaemic control and partial reversal of HFD-induced changes in metabolic profiles were only observed when participants exercise trained in the evening.

>The truth is that allies spy on each other all the time, it's not just normal but prudent to do so.

Thank you for the sanity. I certainly have problems with the surveillance state and authoritarianism in the US, but this is the most relevant take on this report. All spying is not all bad. Western countries give each other intel all the time. I would be more concerned if there were only one or a few set of eyes on things rather than more.
Not sure why this is downvoted, this is certainly what I've seen.

This makes me fear that I may have some complicated and confusing issues in my future!
He doesn’t argue that the behaviours aren’t harmful at all but rather often manifest as a coping mechanism for another condition. He thinks it’s a dangerous idea to treat social media addiction as something to treat directly rather than something that likely indicates another problem. I don’t think it’s perfect because actual addictions are often caused by other problems (ex. Depression). I really wish the expert was forced to answer questions like whether it’s worthwhile to treat alcohol addiction directly without treating an underlying depression. It seems like this definition may not quite work the way he wants it to. The distinction may be if you treat the depression directly the social media addiction disappears but if you treat the depression directly the alcoholism still needs to be dealt with.
Meh. Whatever. Some things are worth arguing over; some things, not so much.

I classify this as "not so much." I'm fairly familiar with "addiction," in its classic sense, and this doesn't really bother me.

There's no doubt that "gamification" (karma, scores, like/dislike, rate, etc.) is designed to increase users' reliance on a UX. It works. I'm as cynical as they come, and it works on me. It feels like addiction, and putting it aside is uncomfortable (otherwise known as "withdrawal"). Is it seizures, massive cramps, and shitting myself? No, but it is uncomfortable, all the same.

It reminds me of Marie Nyswander's classic "broken brain" theory. That's the one where the doctor, in their lab coat, looks at you all serious, and tells you how your "brain is broken," because of your irresponsible behavior (gotta have the moral judgement there, dontcha know), you have destroyed your brain's capacity for creating endorphins/serotonin/brainjuice/whatever, and you are going to have a lifetime of agony and pain, unless you let them prescribe "Addiction-B-Gon™," the $500/month "nutritional supplement."

Here's the trick. Get them to give it to you in writing, on their letterhead, with their signature at the bottom. Exactly what they told you, verbally; that it's a permanent condition (as opposed to the few months that research proves happens anyway).

The "broken brain theory" has been applied to all sorts of deviant behavior. I've seen it used to explain drug addiction, alcoholism, kleptomania, pedophilia, sexual promiscuity, gambling, video game addiction, shopping addiction, eating disorders, political affiliations, reading too many pulp novels, heavy metal/hip-hop/swing music preferences, etc.

It's like a pseudoscientific Swiss army knife. It's one of those things that pretty much personifies the H. L. Mencken quote: "There's always an easy solution to every human problem; Neat, plausible and wrong."
Now that you mentioned samples: I wonder if neural networks will be able to help with polyphonic note detection, so we can trigger MIDI samples using an off-the-shelf guitar or other instruments.

There have been a few recent advancements lately (Boss SY-1), but even the supposedly "ideal" solutions, that require a new polyphonic pickup, are not good at all. I have a Fishman Triple Play and a plugin whose name I forgot, and tracking is frankly terrible.
I think it's worth noting a difference between first & second hand perspective. It's generally other people (eg parents) who were critical of radio/tv/comic/etc use. They call it addiction.

With technology "addiction," there is a lot of first hand experience. People consider themselves addicted, and can't stop doing X without external help or abstinence devices.

If someone wants, tries and fails to abstain from anything, is that not an operative definition of addiction?
Broadly speaking, I tend to think of "addiction" (rightly or wrongly) as the errosion of free will.

If someone wilfully chooses to take a substance / perform an action that has subsequent negative effects (potentially including detoxing), then that seems a fair individual decision.

If someone takes a substance that destroys or decreases their future ability to choose not to take that substance in the future... that's a completely different level of danger.

... I'm not sure which categories social media and mobile gaming fall into.

My gut says if it's not the latter yet, then that's only because we / they haven't gotten there yet. Because the latter is obviously a more lucrative business to be in.
It's applied by the individual programs, but residents often have multiple sets of obligations :(
Regardless of any financial considerations with the Store around UWP, they really just screwed the pooch on the developer experience. Going back to Window 8, it's been a trainwreck for years. Nobody wants to chase their recommended newest thing when it is perpetually half-baked, so a fair number of people have thrown up their hands and decided to just stick with tried-and-true WinForms or WPF or raw Win32 forever.
>but you get way better quality of life in a 100,000 to 400,000 city nearly anywhere else in Europe. Even Aahrus has a better quality of life.

I think you're going a bit far there. Access to a larger international community, international schooling, wider offering of grocery products (e.g. asian supermarkets) and restaurants, diverse music, arts and cultural offering - smaller distance to airport, those are all reasons I'm happier in Helsinki then some random 100,000 person city.

It's weird because in this survey all of those would fall into the 'Happiness, Culture & Leisure', even though it includes a lot more stuff than 'outdoor spaces' for example.
You mean running a non-profit donation machine that funnels $100M to a war chest. Sure as hell takes a lot of work.
"I have the impression that American cultural influence has become increasingly prevalent throughout Europe"

I’d personally go with creating a nice SPA using S3 for storage. Super cheap and well, you manage your own data that way ( to an extent ).

Plus, design it however you want.

If that seems too much, you can just use Photos ( iCloud ) and pay for the storage. Seems like a good alternative to me.

Just get another passport. Or have them stamp your entry on a piece of paper separate from the passport.

Notice it says in the article:

> Entry: If there is evidence of travel to Israel in your passport entry is unlikely to be granted.

Israel will, upon request, give you a removable sticker for your passport instead of stamping it if you also need to travel to unfriendly countries. I'm sure Iraq will figure out the same thing. (despite the irony!)
Even for cars, there's also the issue of how the noise measured, compared to the real-world use. And even for motorcycles, that are standards, and even if there's no mandatory regular inspection, police are allowed to control vehicles randomly. But they practically never do it for some reason.

I'm familiar with the measuring method for motorcycles, which basically means that a powerful enough motorcycle will be very quiet when tested because it will be running at very low RPMs (the standard is 3rd gear at 50 Km/h – on my bike that's around 1500-2000 RPM out of 10000).

The noise issue is with people flooring it just to stop at the next light 200 m down the road. And also badly tuned exhausts that pop like crazy.

I'm actually wondering if this hasn't become a fashion for some reason, since I hear more and more cars make that noise. And those cars look pretty expensive, so I don't think they have aftermarket exhausts, if only because changing it is a bit more involved than on motorcycles, and pretty much all newish-looking "fast" cars seem to make that noise.

But I agree, in Paris at least, loud motorcycles are more of a nuisance than cars, if only because there's more of them. Cars do tend to get on my nerves on weekends, though.
And the killing of children follows, naturally
Or maybe, perhaps there are other ways to decrease birth rates to a more sustainable level besides forced abortions and infanticide? There is not a single in country in the EU with a fertility rate above 2 (the average in 2019 was 1.54) it's higher in the US but this is mostly a result of external immigration (either directly or immigrants having more children). At least in Europe this is going to cause huge issues in the upcoming decades due to huge increases in social and healthcare expenditures coupled with a shrinking workforce.

Agreed.

I personally think one problem with this article is their cult following of science. I guess there isn't conclusive scientific evidence that social media or video games are addictive or detrimental to you. But should I wait possible decades for more conclusive research? I rather not. I know I have been addicted to video games and it has negativity impacted my life.

The reason people are making these 'assumptions' about social media/video games being addictive is because they can see it in their own life and the life of others. The 'hard science' this guy is talking about just hasn't catched up.
So this is what bitcoin ASICs will devote their remaining time on earth to!
As far as I am aware [1] one of the big issues here is housing.

With the one child policy all of the housing was built for 1 child families (i.e. 2 bedroom apartments). Even with the two child policy it was really difficult to find apartments built for larger families.

[1] I know someone who lived in China, who said this was an issue, but I don't have any actual sources so this may be wrong.
Indeed, async resets should usually be used only for things like whole-system master resets, and even then you need to be careful. Otherwise signals should always be synchronous to a clock.

Operating a network at the scale of Wikimedia's is no small task. AFAIK, The largest part of the budget goes to maintaining the servers and network (and paying the people who maintain them).

It's also worth noting that many of Wikimedia's staff are remote. I think more of the engineers are based in Europe than in the US and salaries are scaled somewhat based on the cost of living in each employees city/region. Wikimedia salary is almost certainly lower than the big tech companies but still pretty good for a non-profit and the benefits provided are very good if not quite up to the google level of luxury.

Disclosure: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation as a software engineer, however, I don't really know much about the financial details.

> And I'm not excusing the WHO, their role has been borderline criminal at the beginning, and their reactions slow

What do you mean by this? The WHO was practically screaming at the top of its lungs all throughout February 2020 that countries were not taking the new coronavirus seriously enough.

Just take this headline from 21 February 2020: "World must act fast to contain coronavirus: WHO's Tedros."

> “Although the window of opportunity is narrowing to contain the outbreak, we still have a chance to contain it [...] If we don't, if we squander the opportunity, then there will be a serious problem on our hands”

This was before Italy began quarantining towns in Lombardy (22 February 2020). The US was only testing hundreds of samples a day, and political figures from Trump to Pelosi were reassuring the public that everything was under control. Only it wasn't under control, but nobody in the US knew that, because contrary to the WHO's recommendations, the US was not conducting large-scale testing.

Of all the countries and institutions involved in this pandemic, I think the WHO comes out looking pretty good in comparison. If the US and European countries had heeded the WHO warnings and followed its technical advice in February 2020, they could have fared far better in the first wave.

Both, I suppose.

Once you start seeing people locking away their smartphone, because they don't trust themselves to abstain or moderate... that's very clearly an attempt to impose their own will on themselves. Call it whatever you want, but it's a lot like a scene from trainspotting.

If A) is not important, I can do B) for $87.000.

Every story about China should include a note that the government decides how many children its citizens are allowed to have. We've grown numb to how terrible this is.
The Economist published some great coverage about this a couple weeks ago, along with the intersection of players like Stripe and PayPal. Their overall conclusion is that governments have huge incentives to make their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Currencies are a major lever of control that governments use to run their countries. In small countries, foreign currencies like the US dollar are already used widely for their stability and ease in foreign trade. Imagine if this becomes digital with zero friction, and you can see how a country could lose all demand for its currency.

Larger countries face a similar dilemma with Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is frictionless and reliable, demand for the dollar could drop in favor of Bitcoin, and again, the US government loses a major source of power. Or worse, imagine the digital yuan becomes the new global standard for trade and storing value among China’s new friends.

The Economist’s original coverage also discusses the privacy and tax implications (China already experimented with programmable money that “expired” at a certain time, to make sure it was used for stimulating the economy).

They also talk about how CBDCs could end banks, because there would be no reason for a layer between the central bank and individuals, and the impact this would have on lending. Overall a fascinating topic, and I recommend reading their coverage as a high-level broad introduction to a lot of interesting topics.
