… I don’t understand your point. If you are generating a net surplus, then your economy is growing. If your per capita size is large, then inequality is something government can solve with taxation/redistribution it has nothing to do with whether it is iron ore or software generating the taxable $.

> I had one of the super light and compact sleeping pads develop a leak after literally about three days.

Therm-a-Rests are a dependable brand in this regard, as while a leak may happen from time to time (I have had two punctures in about one year of sleeping outdoors), it is usually very easy to find the hole and patch it yourself, just like you do with a bicycle inner tube. I think Therm-a-Rest even includes the patch kit with some of its models now.

They said 'Europe' not the 'EU'.
I’ve always heard it was to make conversion to Christianity more palatable, full stop. At least in Western Europe most of the conquering was done before Rome was Christianized, and they never conquered the Germanic peoples who are the pagans who give us most or all of the familiar Christian trappings (Yule logs, Christmas in December, the word “Easter”, Christmas trees, elves, etc).

The pre-Christian Romans made conquering easier by bringing Roman luxuries (baths, food, wine, commerce, citizenship, etc) to conquered peoples and by making examples out of those who resisted, but Christianity was not part of the package.

Not sure what the Eastern Roman empire was doing with respect to conquering and Christianizing, but if they converted anyone, I don’t think those pagans contributed imagery back to Christian holidays as we know them in America.

That said, after the Western Roman empire collapsed there were lots of European powers who used conversion as part of their larger subjugation toolbox.

I love my Duplex as well, and that was also my guess. I would note that the biggest downside (other than cost) is that the Duplex is not a free-standing tent (although they do offer a couple of free-standing versions which are significantly heavier). It will sometimes require patience and creativity to set up the tent in areas that are very short on usable ground space (like dense forests or steep terrain) or hostile to tent stakes (like rocks). It's also not the easiest tent to setup extremely quickly, like during a rain or hail shower in the Sierras (but I've encountered that and managed well enough).
That's not actually happening commonly at all. That's a media/political soundbite, not the common reality.

If it were true, the US wouldn't have one of the highest median income figures. The US would be a giant sweatshop due to the huge corporations across its economic landscape. The US median person wouldn't be wealthier than the median in Germany or Sweden (given Germany is supposed to have vaunted worker rights, which apparently don't add up to much in the way of worker wealth).

The best employers in the US are major corporations, they almost universally pay the best and offer the best benefits. It isn't even remotely a close comparison. The same is largely true in Europe and Asia.

It was Amazon that went to $15 / hour nationally for their massive labor base. They're the ones that finally moved the needle on the national discussion about minimum wages, regardless of if you think their motivations were pure or not. Before that it was just endless politicking. As far as unskilled labor is concerned, everybody else ran from behind to catch up to them after they did that. They're still the ones setting the pace.

It wasn't mom & pop shops that moved the needle. They pay horribly and offer horrible benefits as well as exceptionally poor job security. If you want to really suffer, work for a small, struggling business. The large corporations reach global markets and dramatically scale their output per worker, which enables them to pay far better than local / domestic-only businesses, and that's very rarely not the case.

Yes!

Huh? Did you miss the point entirely? They're saying that a monopoly reduces the number of barrels, which reduces the crisis. What's distasteful about that specific part of the picture?

Not commenting on the likelihood of rabies, but bats hang out at around human-height well away from caves all the time (at dusk/night, anyway). Not uncommon at all. Aside from hearing and seeing them flying low fairly often (which one does), it's not unusual for them to hit things like barbed wire fences and get killed, which means they must have been flying at that height.
I would be interested to know what it was at its peak. You have to wonder how much of the rabies "scare" of the 90s was manufactured.
Besides serious growth, he big low-code companies posted some impressive case-studies.

For example Outsystems's software was used to build a hospital management system, commercially.

So they've got a a lot of deployed software for a few years, and some of it is really complex.

And it seems to work. No huge negative PR AFAIK.

And there's ton of demand.

I do wonder what's they're breakthrough though.

Depends on the degree of certainty I suppose. If it's close to 1 then probably not much though it does potentially provide more data to cross reference against when linking activity across services.

Techniques such as using different email addresses and other first party data would no longer be effective for limiting cross linking of user data (fingerprinting is an issue as well) if a legal ID is required and that data is shared with the service.

I’m on the fence about a service only using ID verification even from a fully trustworthy third party and not gaining any additional info (save for maybe a random unlinkable ID to prevent multiple accounts or perhaps just a flag indicating whether the ID is eligible for an account on that service). Even that bothers me. I would have to think about it some more. But I kind of do get it and see how that could enable better online communities. I’d like to think there is a better way though.

> On "an extremely limited basis" some pet owners and other animal lovers may be granted exceptions to the ban by seeking written approval from the CDC at least 30 days before planned entry to the US, the agency said.

Good. Hopefully it will become less limited soon.

It's easy to imagine a situation in which someone needs to move to the US and needs to have their dog with them. All I have to do is imagine someone who needs to move to the US for some family or business-related reason, and someone who is inseparable from their dog, irrespective of their immigration status, and figure that these are common enough that they could overlap.

Yes; anything cuts into anything else if you concentrate enough weight into enough of a small area, or there are other extreme factors involved like things melting.

E.g. A carbide bit milling a stainless steel object is clearly not following carbide-on-stainless coefficient of friction.
No. Wrong. Incorrect on all accounts. A rabid bat absolutely will bite a human, will fly into a home seeking water, will be down at a human level because they no longer fly well, and most bats are so small that the bite won’t be noticed if it happens while sleeping.
Rabies cases in America are rare specifically because the authorities take it seriously. If authorities stop taking rabies seriously, expect:

> An estimated 31,000 human deaths due to rabies occur annually in Asia,[2] with the majority – approximately 20,000 – concentrated in India.
Sure, I'm not arguing that it's impossible to get bitten by bat, but you'd have to be extremely unlikely to get bitten by one in your sleep, unless you sleep standing up and a bat flies straight into you somehow.

> As opposed to diffing her public moves with what she said in the emails? You seriously think that the mere existence of leaked emails was enough to sway voters regardless of what was actually said in them?

How's that for bizarre?
The general problem is called "regulatory capture", though that's a specific case of the principle-agent problem, which also affects private organisations / businesses.

Generally the solution is checks & balances, oversight, you cut / I choose, and similar mechanisms. (Off the top of my head, there may be others.)
More than a community admin, he's an employee apparently.
Apparently the current risk calculus is that if you know you were sleeping in an enclosed area with bats, the vaccine will be recommended, because they can indeed occasionally bite relatively painlessly. (Source: I had two friends who slept in a barn and discovered the next day that there were bats living in the barn; they were then given the vaccine even though they didn't feel anything.)

It's a weird case of very large numbers being multiplied by very small numbers. Like, you're very unlikely to be bitten by a bat even if you're near one, a given bat is very unlikely to have rabies, if you did somehow get bitten by a rabid bat you're almost certain to die unless you get the vaccine (but the vaccine is almost certain to save you if so), and the vaccine is very expensive (and, in its older formulation, very unpleasant, though much less so more recently). So that's a lot of things that point in all different directions in terms of the decision.

I had the rabies shot to travel a few years ago when I knew I’d be spelunking around bats. I think I’ve had just about every travel-related vaccine possible and rabies was by far the worst in terms of side effects.

I also didn’t know until after I was given the vaccine rundown but getting the shot doesn’t protect you like most vaccines do. The way it was explained to me was if you get bit without the shot you have hours to get to a hospital to get the vaccine for the first time but if you’ve had the shot and you get bit you have maybe a day to get to a hospital and get the vaccine again. When you’re in a remote area that extra time is crucial but I hadn’t realized rabies was still such a serious risk of potential infection even after vaccination.

Users largely don't care whether something is decentralized or not. They care if it works. It's proven easier to deliver things that work well using centralized systems. This if for entirely pragmatic engineering reasons like the difficulty of distributed consensus.

I am actually surprised it took this long for IBM to take action as it was the first thing when I saw GF announcing to stop developing 7nm. ( AMD was well prepared for Dual Fab at the time )

Their whole Z / POWER roadmap and release schedule was quite literally destroyed by GF. It now suffer a multi year delay, think Intel 14nm fiasco. Except IBM isn't Intel where they could squeeze and milk 14nm and their market. And funny enough IBM didn't went with TSMC and decided to use Samsung thinking they would have an easier time to port to their node due to similarities with GF. It turns out they might as well have gone with TSMC.

I think there are more to blame IBM for its management than GF pulling the plug.

It’s also worth asking how it fed into the backdrop of a multi-decade campaign portraying both Clinton as liars engaged in criminal conspiracies. It seems plausible that it wouldn’t have worked on most politicians but still could have been enough to get a few thousand people to stay home thinking that maybe this meant there was more to all of the other make believe tales which have been getting spread since the 1990s. They didn’t need to flip votes or even get a very long effect — a few days was enough.

It's certainly possible that my views have changed over time biasing my perspective. I can only speak to the time I have observed the news.

Magic button to send your job applications automatically to employers
They do not have a right to your identity. But I do not see why people have an absolute right to use a business without providing identity either. If both parties agree, then they can exchange info.

The government is using 2FA SMS as your identity (for government services themselves), effectively offloading their liability into the mobile operators. But not really, because the mobile operators are not liable either. So as a little person, you are screwed all around.

If the government were to make an electronic identity, which it needs to for its own services, it might as well be accessible for all so you do not have to trust private businesses with it.
The main exposure route is people getting rabies from their dog. The dog is bitten by a rabid animal (especially if it's a guardian dog for livestock) and then one or more family members get it from the dog.

So - much more important to get the dog vaccinated.

The wiki goes on to say that other carriers of Salmonella Typhus were not villified.

'Other healthy typhoid carriers identified in the first quarter of the 20th century include Tony Labella, an Italian immigrant, presumed to have caused over 100 cases (with five deaths); an Adirondack guide dubbed "Typhoid John", presumed to have infected 36 people (with two deaths); and Alphonse Cotils, a restaurateur and bakery owner.'
Here you go:

1. Start today by doing literally anything active.

2. Do it again tomorrow.

3. Repeat.

There is no magic. Once you’ve got a habit of showing up, you can worry about exactly which fitness routine to use. Most programs get repetitive after 6-8 weeks anyway, so you need a foundation of a stable habit to fall back on when switching routines or burning out on one.

The secret is to show up. Every day. Just keep stacking those good days.

(This applies to a lot more than just fitness, btw)
