An age restricted video could be be one that features mild gore and isn't rated for children, or for example music that originates from an adult rated show... Not everything age restricted is porn.
I’ve worked for a few remote places, including one which was remote-first before it was cool, and I don’t think the schedule flexibility part rings true

Everyone was expected to be available 9-5ish for potential collaboration/questions purposes, and you had to inform the team if you’re gonna be afk for anything longer than 30minsish

Some teams even had a norm of leaving a “signing off for the day” note and a “getting lunch” note

If there are remote companies out there who truly let you be flexible with your schedule, I’d love to know about them

It was indeed a rather rare situation. I guess I got a bit lucky. On the other hand, in the current job market, it doesn't seem too extraordinary.
The USAF is acutely aware of the risk, and there are already policies in place, according to articles I read a few years ago, limiting usage of the anti-ballistic missile defenses for this reason. For example if North Korea launches a missile at the US, they will only attempt to intercept it using anti ballistic missile interceptors based in Alaska. Launching from ABM sites in the lower 48 at a target coming from the DPRK would result in interceptor trajectories crossing China, and no one wants to take that risk (the launch of an ABM interceptor looks a hell of a lot like the launch of an ICBM).
Is that really enforceable? Maybe. I suspect that customers are better off not going through class claims anyway, as few of them actually yield amounts close to the harm done, and lawyers walk away with absurd amounts.

"Collective" is merely a tool for not clogging courtrooms; there really isn't any other benefit to consumers here.
The statistics about alcohol consumption are so stunning that I often wonder how accurate they are.

If these numbers are correct, the top 10% of alcohol drinkers consume the equivalent of 10 drinks per day: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/25/think...

The unit for a single drink is a fixed measurement, so someone pouring a tall glass of wine or a very stiff drink could be consuming 2-5 “drinks” in a single glass, but regardless the consumption is extremely high.
I suppose the nuance of "ruined" is down to personal preference, but I was annoyed by the large banner ad placement and stopped using it shortly after they added it. Purchasing wasn't an option back then for me.

This was also done in other software like Go!Zilla and it made the UI unusable IMO. It was a very disruptive and obnoxious way to monetize a project. Not sure if they improved this later before the move to freeware, since soon after I switched to Phoenix/Firebird and never looked back.
It did the last time I looked into it.

I went to set up a privacy.com virtual card for a semi-sketchy site, only to have privacy deny the charge as it was for a "high risk" site.

Yeah, I KNOW, that's why I wanted to use a virtual card. That ended my brief foray into privacy.com

It's certainly altruistic to ad companies who don't want to pay for internet access for their devices
In Window's Hyper-V hypervisor management control panel for virtual machines, you can connect to other hosts and manage them as if you were on that hypervisor. It's not glaringly obvious that you're working on another machine if you're in a rush. Someone had named the test database server the exact same thing as the production database server in the console, and I was tasked with deleting the test database server as it was no longer needed. We were using shared admin credentials at the time so the session was still up on the test hypervisor. I right clicked it, chose delete, and promptly deleted the production database server.

The same 'Forwarded' tag can be easily attached to a message that is copy-pasted verbatim (atleast from another whatsapp message). Anecdotal evidence suggests that 'Forwarding' is just way too easy as compared to copy pasting an entire message to each person you want to send to. So forcing people to do this would indeed reduce the amount of misinformation being spread via unvetted forwards (at the cost of 'valid' forward messages - which I think are too few to matter).
How convenient for them that they were able to simply declare that a creek arising in a national park is the property of just the exact people who happened to be living there at a particular moment! I'm sure there was nothing exclusionary about it.

If they were even a little bit serious about ever getting power out, they would not be starving everything except hot-neutron fusion.

Actions speak louder than words. Their actions are deafeningly clear.

We already have a solution to all energy problems for the foreseeable future: the cheapest ever devised, with costs still plummeting. All we need is to build it out. Building it out slower delays the full solution, in exact proportion.
It could be that you had a really bad office culture that no one wanted to go back to. It wouldn’t be surprising then that everyone was like, “yeah, let’s not.”
Let me make myself clear. I am suggesting that from the beginning we should have encouraged the statistically vulnerable to isolate themselves: meaning, isolate themselves voluntarily. I'm suggesting that the rest of us should have supported such people who reached out for support through private and government action. I'm suggesting that other individuals should have been encouraged to take what precautions they deemed sensible.

I think that, by and large, mask mandates should have been effected privately: meaning, business owners should have been free to institute mask policies the same way the do shirts and shoes policies. Government should have publicly given such policies support.

Lockdowns should have been periodic and local: meaning, focused on time and place. The aim of lockdowns would not be to "save even a single life," but to try to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, so that people who could pull through with supportive care would have an available bed to recover in. In the meantime, government should have endeavored to setup emergency hospitals to make more beds available, relocating them as necessary.

Every point I'm making stresses free choice and personal liberty; and every point I'm making stresses the idea that there are no easy answers and no one has the "master plan."

Instead, what I saw — what we all saw — was federal bureaucrats and state governors dictating what hundreds of millions of people should do, based on conjecture and even whim, and dare I say, even at times personal vanity.

But I'm the arrogant one?
Gmail at some point had a good UX. Nowadays I've switched back to a local mail client because their webmail is weirdly sluggish for no reason.
Is this the same Audrey Tang who implemented Pugs (the first partial Perl 6 implementation)?
There are similarities and differences enough similarities that I wonder if Starship or some other project is just a new Glomar Explorer for the current day's Project Azorian.

GSF Explorer, formerly USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193), was a deep-sea drillship platform built for Project Azorian, the secret 1974 effort by the United States Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Division to recover the Soviet submarine K-129.

"works" in quotes. Compact after an update I measured as a third taller than "normal" density before the update (100px vs 75px). I want maximum vertical space for the website, not for the browser UI. It's really not compact anymore.

I'd argue it's actually just part of a very long trend.
There's not even a need to worry about separation or anything, just load up your tungsten as cargo and point the nose on your target from orbit. Half the ship might burn away but the rest will keep going 28,000 kph and someone will have a bad day.
>"...is the peculiar manner in which the Fourier series of a piecewise continuously differentiable periodic function behaves at a jump discontinuity. The nth partial sum of the Fourier series has large oscillations near the jump, which might increase the maximum of the partial sum above that of the function itself"

I'd say the minimum qualifications of understanding this sentence adequately is:

- knowing the basic terminologies of calculus to understand what "piecewise continuously differentiable" means

- knowing that the Fourier series is some sort of infinite series, which you can get from context if you already know that infinite series is a thing, from Taylor series, which you'd know from calculus from the above requirement.
It sounds like a lot but I know lots of people in rural areas with extreme poverty (grew up in one of the poorest counties in the midwest) where this sort of drinking was commonplace. They drink as soon as they wake up and don't stop until they fall asleep. Anecdotal I know but certainly believable for me.
A stock market allows people to acquire ownership in companies, but it will be highly unequal: some of them will have more, some will have less, some will have none. That unequal ownership will generate correspondingly unequal rewards.

No communist system can allow that. Instead, the companies are uniformly state-owned and the rewards added to the state coffers where they will be pillaged and shared by the politically connected.
Another story on the front page right now[0] from the WSJ[1] seems to imply that arbitration clauses fall apart when faced with a mountain of arbitration demands (75k+).

I'd go further and say, make both optional. Come to the office space when you need it, stay at home when you don't. Once a week? Twice a week? Every day? Once a month or never? Doesn't matter.

Maybe some things would need to change in terms of what office space is leased, and the capacity, in order to manage the cost.

> NO, the law does NOT require your implementation to suck,

When the law is "you have to verify a meatspace user's age before showing them content that could arbitrarily be considered 'adult' by some group of lawmakers who most likely have different and more puritan values than you," yes, it does require your implementation to suck, because that law sucks by definition.

I'm glad YouTube implemented it this way, so that the pain of shitty laws can be felt instead of being allowed to proceed. Maybe people will actually try to push back against overzealous Internet regulation at some point.
I am curious. What makes you think requirement is non-optional?
I definitely agree with your larger point, and the results of this pandemic will be of similar impact and rate of impact as other historical events. However, there are definitely moments that did have quick impact. 9/11 had immediate, significant, lasting impact to our lives, at least as far as traveling went, for instance.

That is basically because it is near you and far from anything else. So it doesn't have to do anything to not pick up background noise. You can do that with any mic, headsets just have a bit of an advantage in having a fixed placement right near you however you move. I have a mic on a boom over the monitor so it ends up close to me and I wear headphones so that has much the same effect. But its all about placement.

> Both automatically dial and redial EDD until they reach the agency’s hold line. Then they call a client and patch them through to wait on hold with EDD. The companies both said they then disconnect from the call so they do not overhear personal information.

How does that work? If they disconnect the call ends since they are the originator doesn't it?
Hearing doom and gloom since the 80s is consistent with the scientific evidence. It was in 1988 that James Hansen spoke before a U.S. Senate committee about human caused global warming. And it's not as though things have been getting better. They're getting worse, and at a faster than expected rate.
I failed advanced math (UK A level) and dumped advanced physics before reaching the point of taking the exams. I've managed to implement a quaternion system in my canvas library[1] - with nagging doubts that it's not entirely right - mainly by staring at lots of (poorly explained) examples online and hoping that things would click 'by osmosis'. So, I reckon you can go a long way without understanding the concepts behind quaternions, but you'll need to do a lot of geometry and physics study if you ever want to feel comfortable with any quaternion code you write.

The only reason I went through all that pain was because I kept on coming across articles saying that "quaternions fix the gimbal lock issue you encounter with Euler angles" - now I see people saying in this thread that the assertion is false. I no longer know what to believe, but I do know I never want to go crawling down the Euler/quaternion rabbit hole again!

Ok, so here's my advice for you in that sort of situation.

Just talk. A lot. What are you thinking, why are you thinking it? What are the alternatives you are thinking about. All of these will give your interviewer a good opportunity to give you feedback and can make the problem a lot easier than you might be expecting.

The more you talk, the better.
