A lot depends on the assorted ways your connections are made.
Any part that has a satellite link is subject to attenuation in the rain. Any wiring loops are subject to parallel path leakage in areas where the wire is aged/weathered etc. This includes aging cable. Any fiber loop 'may' get wet and since water has a different light velocity and the fiber conducts by total internal reflection a wetted fiber can introduce losses.
All of these cause retries and it takes longer for a verified packet to be sent.
People coming out of the rain can use more b/w = less for you.
The C.I.A., or N.S.A. has taken an interest in you and the attachments to the line cause delays for analysis and recording.....Worried? - anyway, you would never know.
I don't see any uneven playing field when it comes to grocery stores.

The national brands and store brands are always next to each other on the same shelf. So there isn't any problem that needs solving. Also brands already pay for promotional positioning (like the ends of aisles), and when the store puts its own brands in those spots it loses out on those payments, and so is effectively paying equally.

So the field doesn't need any evening out there.

If grocery stores ever started putting the name-brand stuff in a back room that took twice as long to get to, then it might become an issue, but as of right now it's just not.
"Too eager, too indifferent, too clingy, too distant, etc... you're gonna be terribly out of practice at it all."

These are generally personality traits of someone who is not well adjusted. If you are the type of person who can become professionally and personally (think friendships and any other non-sexual relationship) successful, then you'll probably be fine jumping back into the dating pool even if you've only dabbled casually for a pretty long period of time.
Another thing I did that helped was hide the photos of people I was looking at while browsing.

Towards the end of my time on OkCupid (where I met my wife!), I wanted to only compose five messages per day. I did this to reduce my time on the platform. (Online dating services are masters of dark patterns and addicting behaviors.) However, even though those messages were short, since they were bespoke to the profiles I was looking at, those messages took time to write.

I found myself in this predicament where I burned too much time looking at profiles of attractive women with bland (to me) profiles. So, I thought "what if I hid the photos and focused on profiles I thought were interesting?"

Three things happened when I did that:

1. Writing short, but targeted, messages became a LOT easier because I was focusing on connecting with people I probably wanted to spend more time with,

2. Since I never "saw" who I was messaging when I wrote those messages, me never getting a response from them hurt way less (since I never met them to begin with!), and

3. When I un-hid the photos of the women who responded to me, _they were still attractive!_ As it happens, I learned that I'm attracted to smart, pretty women with personalities.

I suppose this won't work for people who want to do the nasty with as many hot people as they can find. There were, like men, smart, attractive women who didn't know how to craft an online dating profile and got filtered out from this approach.

What I do know is that my response and date rate went WAY up after hiding photos and responding to interesting profiles, and my mental health towards online dating improved significantly.

Reminds me that yesterday I tried googling around the topic of how covid affects fertility (eg. "covid fertility") and nearly every result that comes back is about vaccines not affecting fertility. Okay, thanks Google, but how about the actual disease? Results were a fair bit more relevant by adding "disease" to the query, but still got one or two about vaccines.

I don't think you can call that behaviour favouring left. It feels as though they're creating vaccine hesitancy.
I guess this isn't an ETL but the look and featureset overlap with the ETL space quite a lot. Hence it would be interesting to know how this compares with the many graphical ETL tools out there, say SSIS, Pentaho, Talend, Stitch, Apache Airflow, Parabola.io
Just do a video call with the employee when they request e.g. MFA resets. Have a policy that enforces that. Maybe have them show an ID.
You asked how long "all my life" I've spent only partially reliant on the power grid is, and someone else has provided you some context (that I actually mean all my life, which you can probably infer to be longer than two decades at least).

As to the second half of your original question, solar power is not the only kind of backup power that exists.
While Apple has made that argument, their devices are not primarily intended to support life, and the vast majority of failures due to bad repairs don't kill people.

And often with medical devices, they may often be supporting the life of someone other than the original purchaser and sole maintainer.
I'm pretty sure the mugshot sites have adjusted their practices where it's much harder to prove what's really going on. Straight up blackmail payment pages are gone.
You are right that previews can be a time sink. It justifies some strategic thinking because the blast radius can be big.

Someone can forget to have a separate set of terms and suddenly the support team are on the hook for supporting previews to a greater degree than expected. If features aren't locked then suddenly features get jammed in because the preview is a good hook for customers who haven't yet acquired your product.
Up to a dozen languages at once for us.

Zoom has some capabilities along these lines that we've used for smaller events with just English/Spanish. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034919791-Langu...
Anecdotally, I've seen this happen on my team, and it is the single biggest factor that makes me somewhat receptive to going back into the office. It's easier to draw a line between work and home that way.

Maybe we should just turn Slack off altogether outside of business hours, and only enable it in emergencies. LOL
So, like, I get what you're saying, but I feel like you didn't actually look past the title of the post. This isn't governments censoring information or whatever, it's a form you can fill out to request removal of coerced personal information like revenge porn or doxxing.

What do you mean by this? Some people on some online forums made some jokes?

There's a great episode by planet money on the difference between Amazon and physical stores, the transcript is here: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/697060225.

They mention two key differences. The first is just that Amazon is arguably more dominant than any physical distributor, and has more power over offerings.

The second is that if you make a new product for a retailer, the retailer usually has to invest in you to some extent, by giving you physical space and buying your product for resale. So, there's some shared risk and for developing new products. Amazon, on the other hand, doesn't need to give you anything to see how a new product will play out, so it might have too much of a position of power.
It's an interesting idea, and it looks like you're not the only one to think about this:

Good question! Smartass answer: No, because spreadsheets in programs like Excel are Turing-complete, which means any program you could write in a Lispy spreadsheet, you can write in Excel.

Useful answer: In practical terms, probably, for a very small subset of users. The kinds of users who are into programming and also Lisp, and also use spreadsheets a lot. For these four users, adding their favourite programming paradigm would help them to implement cooler things than they would otherwise do.
When talking about the blockchain and other voluntary systems, I tend to look at these things from a "what if there was no government that could just use physical coercion to implement its laws, how would you get people to voluntarily sign up for this?" perspective for these kinds of problems.

You would get users to sign the social contract with some online entity and that entity would censor the blockchain for their ideological/legal jurisdiction. For example, you could sign the Christian fundamentalist social contract and have all blasphemy removed from your search results. In exchange, you would receive community support, access to their content, etc. If they found out you were browsing blasphemous material they would revoke the particular social contract you signed.

Just spitballing here, but I wonder if the nofap guys could start something like this to block all nsfw content on whatever distributed blockchain thing was out there. Then they could offer some special forum as a benefit. You could use a DAO for governance conflicts, etc.
That doesn't appear to be the case, and I've been out of work for over a year. I'm clearly doing something wrong. That said, I've already spent a lot of time with these interviews, so it's worth a shot to send one more email. It's not like I sent out a bunch of applications and only care about the ones that rejected me at first glance.
Well with this WhatsApp would be on the Facebook store along with Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and anything else they devour along the way. Which will all harvest an infinite number of things from your phone, and you will have zero choice in the matter.

The issues with Apple arbitrarily banning things is a real issue, among others, and I acknowledge that and that these things need to be fixed. But don't throw the baby out with the bath water and make everyone's life who uses iOS more miserable along the way.
Ah, and the Swedish "gift" (married) and "gift" (poison).
Has that been happening with all the payouts? I haven't heard anything like that, and the people who do the violating get to keep on violating. Isn't that what law is meant to be about? Preventing and punishing harm.
Yes, I read down to this point and stopped. What significance can you really draw from a sample size of 26? (Serious question to academics out there)
If you accidentally write "return x = 1" when x is a variable, you always return true. If you return "1 = x", you cause a syntax error. So some people have gotten into the habit of writing constants on the left, even if the return value of __builtin_popcount is not assignable.
That issue surprisingly only is tangentially related to side-loading. We should not be relaying on an other company to protect people from other from an other companies predatory data collection policies. The problem is we allow companies like facebook to exist. It still is a problem on iOS and a problem outside iOS. Like the default safari settings are not strong enough in my opinion let alone on other systems. Also what about users who would like to really lock down things, but can't because apple has tied their own hands? Should they also suffer because majority of people lack self control. Like it's your device at the end of the day. There comes a point where if you install junk it's a matter of personal responsibility too (although large number of people sadly don't understand what they are getting into).

However regarding that point in parenthesis, we can't expect everyone to be technically inclined so we honestly need something stronger than GDPR in my opinion. Again apple can't protect everyone here and even their current set of privacy focused features don't go far enough.

Moreover, the way apple locks down the device from the owners has a bunch of other negative aspects. I would hardly call it the best way to achieve what your mentioning. Like not only is it impeding on property rights of device owners. Apple is effectively using to bludgeon other companies to pay a large portion of their revenue. It also makes it difficult for GPL licensed software to be published for iDevices, as apple will modify submitted binaries to the app store, among other things which makes it difficult to publish said software without breaking a GPL license. So open source developers don't even bother or have to come up with some workaround.
Haven't we learned that the "break 'em up" fix for monopolies doesn't achieve the desired results?

Why not simply get our government to do their jobs and REGULATE away practices that are not in the public's interest?
I hadn't tried that particular search. Heres on I have tried and just double checked it : "I don't care about transgender rights"

The example further down about the moon landing is a much better example though. Its a lot worse right when some political event happens. Like if trump said sonething really controversial and you search for more context around it, on google top results would all be articles about how shitty the thing he said was whereas on DDG youd have a greater probability of actually getting some context.

Like when pandemic was in full swing trying to get information that was against the mainstream narrative was impossible on google but was doable on ddg.

This might not be like an active decision by google but their results do skew really heavy left. It might just be a function of popularity rankings. But id imagine ddg uses a similar ranming system so not sure what makes the difference.

There are times tho when ive searched for something I know exists like word for word and it still wont come up on google but will on ddg so, go figure.
checks my top drawer What do you mean 'remember when'?! :P Now if only I could remember how to use the damn thing...
Under a gold standard, you'd be lucky to get the 1% gain in value on the $250k house, and due to the relative scarcity of money the billionaires would be making a lot more on each dollar they lent you.
I haven't used Tcl for anything in ages, but I have a book on it that I thumb through sometimes because it's so bizarre and fun to read about.

For example, you can delete or rename procedures on the fly, including built-in procedures. So you can rename a built-in like puts to something else, create your own puts procedure, and then call the old one (under its new name) in your new procedure (in case you wanted to override it to do some pre- or post-processing each time). You can even redefine procedures within themselves.

You can use variables in variable names (PHP does this as well).

The comment character # is a valid name for a variable or a procedure.

"Everything is a string" extends to even lists and code blocks.

Even though we've moved away from the hyperflexibility of languages like Tcl and Perl, they certainly served their purpose, and a lot of their better ideas were refined in their more orderly successors.
You should be okay with a sum but interval arithmetic can blow up in a way that is not correlated with the numerical accuracy of the algorithm.
Newton's method, for example, is strongly convergent but produces diverging intervals.
I don't buy anything from Amazon anymore, but I agree most people I know haven't gone that far.
I love browser auto-updates, but for at least half a year now every time Chrome updates on my Mac, I'm forced to re-grant location permissions in System Preferences. And they still haven't fixed it.

Plus, certain financial institutions require me to go through lengthy 2FA again because I'm no longer using the "same" browser. (This is the fault of the institutions, not Google.)

Again, auto-update is great, but there are still these little kinks that need ironing out... after so, so many years.
I don't believe it addresses many of those things, but it might address scaling given that its very concept is federation

But, AIUI, *the problem* it is solving is that [conceptually] instead of the user leasing S3 space from AWS, and putting their photos on Someone Else's Computer, but then being wholly responsible for the ACLs required to grant or revoke access to said photos, in this model the user can instead give out a lease of access to the photos to dedicated groups, and the storage comes from The Whole Internet (ala Filecoin)

Again, AIUI, this is much closer to a virtual-host model: I can create joshspankit.photos.example.com/timeline/2022/02/30/Trip to Antarctica/ which only you can access, and only the photos I put in that container, and I can revoke that at will by deleting joshspankit.photos.example.com at which point your lease evaporates

Plus, blockchain something something
I'm curious on a technical level where Apple would go if forced to allow third party stores. Presumably they would still control the keys for notarization and entitlements used by apps, and still require developers to purchase Apple Developer Program accounts. Would we see the APIs be restricted to only allow 'App Store' apps to use things like iCloud and Apple Pay, as it is on the Mac? Would more APIs be partitioned between first- and third-party access?
What's also surprising is how bad Google is at processing these requests. It’s almost like a PR stunt. I’ve had to use their EU Privacy Removal form in the past and a single response can take anything from a few days to several weeks to no response at all. Half the time it seems like you’re emailing a bot as I’ve received the same canned reply to simple inquiries. In the end I just gave up.
I have been unfortunate enough to be "diagnosed" with ADHD at a young age. Oh how strange it is that a child can't concentrate with 25 of his peers hopping and chatting around him, let's medicate him as soon as possible! /rant off

Well, a few years ago I rented an office space with a friend of mine, just the two of us in a very spacious (100m2), light and well-ventilated office. We received no phone calls, there were no people walking in, or cats and girlfriends asking for attention. I had less distractions than I had at home, and much less than in a traditional office. And it was a dedicated area for "work". A comfortable desk and chair, two monitors and a fast pc.

All these factors made it so much easier to concentrate and get into the flow... If I had to put a number on it I'd say I would be at least 1.5x more effective working in an area like that compared to a traditional office or at my desk at home.

I will NEVER again say that I am someone who has trouble concentrating, having worked in a place like that.

I wonder if (and how much) the lack of a proper workplace explains the decrease in output when working from home in this study. I can imagine a decrease in productivity if you have to share your home and workplace with other people or even children... But when your children and partner are at work, or if you have a seperate workspace, I wonder how the two compare then.
It’s a viscous cycle for women. You don’t want to put too much of yourself out there, because crazy people, but not doing so ends up selling your body, which tends to attract a wider variety of men that don’t line up with your vision.

So the two extremes are basically having sex with rando internet people and getting ultra-picky.
I respond to these canned messages with a canned reply:

1) Do you offer permanent remote work?

2) What's the salary range for this position?

Twice now I have been very pleasantly surprised by the answer, and one of those resulted in me making an unplanned job move for a 50% increase in TC.

I've also had some success just throwing out a huge number as my expectation for comp. There is pretty much no downside to doing this.

IMO both of these options are terrible.

I seem to lean quite far on the freedom side of most arguments, but I do acknowledge there are times when action may need to be taken in the interest of the public. My objection is that I neither want it to be impossible to take action or for a foreign company to unilaterally decide what action to take.

What we need in situations like this is a legal process. If one doesn't exist, it's not for companies to start deciding what information the public should have access to and what is "harmful", but for democratic countries to pass laws with the consent of their local electorates to decide what legal protections and processes need to be put in place.

The problem we have today is that there are too many foreign companies deciding what we can and can't say or do. Crypto has the exact opposite problem, but unless our governments step up and regulates these companies in the interests of the public our only option (if you don't agree with the censorship) is to create something uncensorable.
If you are ignorant about it, iCloud support is integrated into the Files App and is the most promoted on its support documents too - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203052 and https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT206481 ... If you use DropBox app, you are obviously going to prefer DropBox cloud service over iCloud - that not only means a potential loss of revenue in the future but also the fact that they aren't tied into Apple ecosystem and can abandon it. Additionally, anyone not using the Files app also denies Apple the means to collect file metadata which are valuable to profile you.
Google could also be forced to divest YouTube

Fantastic! AlphaGoogle is the last entity on Earth I want hosting the bulk of humanity's video.
The positive/negative rights question is interesting, I'm gonna read a few things and think about this.
Facebook the website and Facebook the advertising giant are kinda different things though.

By which I mean that Facebook does not make $trn by supplying likes shares messages and posts.
The authentication/federation problem is what killed the public nntp use even among the non-Outlook users; But it was Outlook that had killed it among corporate and professional users. Those are two independent issues.

Gmane[0][1] did bidirectional nntp to mailing-list in 2002; But there's a mismatch, both technical and cultural, with these gateways.

Also, in an internal system, the IT department has to be willing to support them, and they weren't in my cases.

It's now water under the bridge. NNTP is essentially dead except for legally questionable video distribution.

I would point out that non trivial amount of those dicorces were genuinly abusive relationships - physically and mentally. Or partnership where one of them despised and looked really down on each other.

It is absurd that divorce is seen as that big familly failure, but staying in violent or abusive relationship is treated as "succesfull familly".
At least 1 company has beaten you to that idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_HQ2
'Hurley said in a ruling Friday that the service New York seeks to regulate “has never been subject to rate regulation at the federal or state level.”'

In what universe is this acceptable logic? They identified a problem industry that needs regulation that doesn't have any, so they draft regulation. Judge says 'this wasn't regulated before so you can't do that now'

What ???
I'm guessing by kernel he meant any program that can host other programs in some way.

Can you clarify what batch process means in this case?

I /think/ the authors definition of a kernel is a program that can host other programs in some way.

A video game on a boot sector can't do that (even though it likely would have it's own kernel to function), but some kind of input loop to write memory could.
there are storage and distribution limitations for producing even more energy, that's why surplus is sold to neighboring countries currently.
