That is the biased narrative that we have been told for centuries, and it doesn't match recent research. Diseases happened first, they travel faster. The population affected devolves into chaos as disease often kills 9 in 10 and leave them without ruling and without those with specialised knowledge. Basically society is broken, the traumatised survivors are the ones that face the Europeans.

> military, political, administrative, trades

The civilisations of the Americas were trading with each other. Many of them had highly structured political and administrative centers. Just research the Inka for example, they had an administrative structure that in many ways is better than their European counterparts, a good example is how they eliminated hunger in the Empire. They had mechanisms in place to prevent the population dying of starvation, they were able to feed their whole Empire, that is not easy and requires a ton of accounting and planning.

Do not dismiss the civilisations of the Americas, and think that there is a ladder of evolution in which Europe is somehow higher. These civilisations were very advanced, and had they been able to survive in their own path, who knows where we'd be.

As for military, just check how fast the Spanish conquistadors changed from their equipment and garments to the native ones because they were better suited for work in the tropical climate, and how bitter were the confrontations with the pockets of resistance.

Disease is the key factor. Recent figures such as 90% dying from diseases is a devastating blow to any civilisation, there is no recovering from that.
These practices aren't universal. Most jobs I've interviewed for have asked me practical questions. Just don't do the interviews you don't want to do.
Robinhood users are unsophisticated (= to put it another way: "idiots" who don't have advanced data to inform their trades). This means taking the other side of their transactions is more likely to be profitable than taking the other side of orders coming from, for example, RenTech. Knowing that an order comes from RH (or in other words, not from sophisticated traders) means it's more likely to be profitable for the market maker to fill it. This difference in EV is worth more than $109 to the customers.

It's essentially a "first dibs" approach to fulfilling a transaction. By law it's required to fill at the best price available, so there's no difference in price, and it may even fill quicker if it's in between the bid/asks because of the reason explained above.
It may be fairly mindless, but less so than watching TV.
> I have a few years of experience running my own email server and I can tell you this is a major pain in the ass. When you send your email via a small email server (a server that sends a low volume of email), you will have constant issues getting mail delivered. Also, most of the issues will not be with obscure email servers, they will be with Outlook and Gmail. When you send email, you will never know if your email will be delivered to inbox, delivered to spam folder, or blackholed entirely.

I tend to disagree, due to my experiences with running a private mail server [1].
I've had one exactly one issue with Outlook/Hotmail servers over the years.
My server is quite low traffic, but it's been delivering mail reliably. How do I know? When I send mails, there's usually follow-ups.

> A nation is a group of people that agree they have a common ancestral origin (note that this may be factually untrue!).

The Oxford dictionary defines it as "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory." So, they also include physical proximity.

So, religion, language or just history may constitute enough commonality to talk about a "nation".

In my experience is also quite common to see that people disagrees about their own nations extend. In Catalonia some people may think that they are "Catalan" meanwhile others think that they are "Spanish", and both groups may have common ancestry.
Presumably you could use the same technology on liquid effluent to create a 'toilet to tap' cycle
There’s no need to strictly define a nation.

For example in the US there are Navaho people who consider themselves are Navaho or Americans depending on context.

That’s fine.

There's a column-statue on a hill in rural Wiltshire (England) of a widowed trader named Maud Heath who made a causeway for traders to get to and from their nearest market town. The details of the story vary depending on the source or people you talk to, but wikipedia has most common parts of the bare bones of the history there.

Where is the historic data? You want to know frequency of prior responses, types of incidents, and severity of those incidents.

The goal of this position should be to better expose risk data internally to lower risk moving forward. Your job is reactive but you need to be continuously performing analysis to result in better planning from your leadership.

I live in a German community considering building wind turbines in our nearby forest. The installations in our region usually use Siemens Gamesa turbines and are part of a coalition between industry and academia, and it ain't their first rodeo. The industry is neither dangerous nor amateur, but it IS plagued by a ton of special interest resistance and disinformation.

Two details, lawsuits and safety:

The lawsuits filed for every single turbine project are a major pain. The anti-windmill crowd is a perfect example of German efficiency. They inject their opinions and objections from every reach of the country into every local community's discussion. Most of it is pseudoscience, like noise effects. I can hear the Autobahn from nearly every part of my town and its surrounding nature trails. Getting the legal roadblocks to green energy out of the way would be a victory for the climate. (From what I've witnessed, Germans are fairly resistant to change and very eager to protest: Stuttgart 21, Cyber Valley, Tesla, Berlin Airport, Querdenker, Fridays for Future)

If the German government wanted more regulation in the name of safety, there are easier pickings than the [likely completely unionized] wind turbine industry: ban traditional Maibaum raising, implement an Autobahn speed limit, limit fireworks during New Years Eve, change public policy and security stance toward football (soccer) matches, more aggressively surveil fringe movements.

I wonder if the fresh water used in such a way wouldn’t eventually be released back into the ocean thus somewhat mitigating the effect.
What's the intersection of "not comfortable with basic commandline usage" and "benefits from using a package manager like homebrew"?
Even if that were correct (which I would doubt, German public broadcasters are very much pro-Green), it would in consequence mean that there is no copyright on any of Wikipedia or any non-opinion factual press piece. Which is obviously ridiculous as the replies also point out.
Okay, nice! I withdraw my comments.
You're confused because you believe that the courts would find 'non public performance' only in the most narrow interpretation 'performance only to a small group of friends or family'.

Millions of people play unlicensed music beyond the narrow interpretation of this statute every day, and there's 200 years of case law that I referred you to that doesn't come anywhere even close to indicating that any court is going to take a narrow view of that statute.

The case law highlights where that 'boundary' is and it's beyond a cop or anyone else playing music from their person, on the job or otherwise.
Im surprised that there is no response from Migadu here.
Looking at https://github.com/facebook/buck/graphs/contributors it seems like there hasn't been any commits to the Buck master branch in over a year. I loved using Buck in 2014 when it was the best open source Blaze. At least until 2015 when Google made Blaze open source. So why didn't Facebook give up on Buck sooner? Perhaps it's for the same reasons I now use make. I saw how angry Bazel made many open source people. I suspect part of it is that asking people to install a new build system just to use your project is a big ask, and it's an even bigger ask when that build system depends on things like the JDK. If Facebook rewrites it all in Rust and manages to ship single-file executables similar to what I can already do today with GNU Make, then it might be a positive improvement.

I had the "stupid moment" of the day. The thermal effects of evaporation on a surface is that the surface actually cools down -- so I could not get the "it produces heat" part.

After drinking my morning coffee I realized that the heat transfer is from the surface to the water droplets/vapors that then carry it to the next layer of this still.

Ergo: coffee makes you smarter and I shouldn't be on HN so early in the morning.
All these are a given in most developed countries. Corporations and funds aren't headquartered in Ireland for the great Irish infrastructure or because there is better rule of law there than in France.

What many seem to be forgetting is the entire economical aspect of it. Economies are not all the same, some are stronger and some are weaker. Some are naturally attractive because of the talent pool, location, other businesses settled there, etc. Others aren't and might need to lower the tax rate to be able to compete. Adjusting the rate is an important economic tool for governments, losing this will cause some countries problems, the same way some countries in the Eurozone are now suffering serious consequences for giving up sovereignty over their currency and losing the ability to devalue it. A border adjustment tax theoretically avoids these problems and might be a much better choice for the smaller countries that aren't the US and don't dictate the rules.
> “Welfare makes people lazy.” The notion is buried so deep within mainstream political thought that it can often be stated without evidence.

How does this somehow translate to "greed is good" and that "helping others" is bad? Is the government directly giving people money the sole way to help others? I'm not taking issue with the direct issue, mainly with youre statements which are untrue about those who disagree. Someone who thinks greed is a positive thing would also think welfare is good if they think receiving welfare is for lazy, greedy people.

Is that clear enough? If you need any clarification just ask since I feel a bit jumbled.
I think where I'd like to draw the line would be on platforms and domain restrictions, and possibly decorum as well.

Essentially, the smaller and more specialised the community, the more leeway they have for moderation /censorship.

Conversely, the larger platforms, especially those that host enormous proportions of the population, should have less control over their users, lest they gain too much control over the speech of their users.

Some might argue that this violates the rights of the corporation, but I weight the rights of millions of users far higher than the rights of a few corporations. This goes double for the publishers masquerading as platforms.
You can create anonymous servers on DO with go-betweens like Bithost, allowing you to pay with cryptocurrency. This is a pretty easy solution for people with bad intentions (bots, scraping, black hat ...)

I run my own VPN on DO and almost always get hit by ReCaptcha. Even Google.com will put up a "we've noticed some unusual traffic from" page. Some sites like Zalando completely block me with just a plaintext error page.

exporectomy asked for the context in his first comment [0]. adrianN (the OP) replied by saying that he thinks there is no scenario where this might be a good thing, so exporectomy provided one. This shows that simply filling in an imaginary scenario is not sufficient, as you can spin the story either way - making imaginary scenarios useless, as you correctly pointed out.

So the overall this subthread is asking for context and then clarifying why it's needed.

As a last resort, that is what I will do. But that would mean to fight the system, which is rarely a good thing in the long run. When it comes to system setup, I prefer to color inside the lines if at all possible.

"Configuring which programs a restricted user can run" is _such_ an elementary task for an OS that I cannot believe that recent macOS has no provisions for that. I _must_ be missing something.
Usually its not about smart. Its about fixing something that is broken in the OS and SIP is blocking fixing it. A missing monitor geometry. Or an incompatibility in a default cone in. Getting rid of unwanted built in apps like News.app.
I think that the native Americans would have managed to learn how to use European technology just fine, but I think that it would have been hard for them to build the necessary infrastructure to mass-produce it in time. Maybe if they had managed to ally with one group of Europeans long enough to hold the others off and give them the needed time, it would have worked.

The US has the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights form the basis of the US' civic religion. American nationalism is based on a set of civic ideals, and that fact allows people who have different religions and ancestry to identify with the country.
Title should read “Scientists throw tantrums and quit their positions over disagreement with other scientists”. Why quit your position and not object through the normal channels if you really wanted to inform people? Abruptly quitting just makes you look unprofessional and easily triggered when others present information you don’t agree with.
Exactly my thought. My theory is that dev nowadays grow up in SPA/mobile client era and they are rediscovering what html was meant to be 20 years ago.

I once wanted my SPA to render html directly by fetching the html from my trusted backend and shoving its response directly into a react component using dangerouslySetInnerHTML. One dev told me, "wait, you are opening door for XSS!"
No it’s not because Alexa does not provide feedback.

You can teach kids to mechanically pronounce correct words, but that is not hard, even a parrot can to do that. But teaching to express and recognize emotions is much harder and Alexa won’t help with that (may even do worse, although unlikely).
Team GB is a trademarked brand name for the United Kingdom olympic team. (I think because "GBR" is the established letter code used so GB has some brand recognition factor in an olympic context.) It's controversial since "GB" can be seen to exclude NI although the team includes the whole UK.
Yeah, but don't forget that's just the first post in a serie.

Hmm, can't say I've been bothered by noise on any projector. Primarily because the audio system or headphones drown it out. Cooling design hasn't changed much from what I've seen but newer projectors are quieter.

If you manage to do that, then the same question remains: "is the outer level a simulation?" We'll never get an answer that satisfies us.
I feel the same way. Windows is catering more and more to power users, whereas Apple seems to be catering more and more to iOS users.

Windows got powershell, WSL, now with Windows 11 it's getting a very basic tiling window manager! Real innovation on the serious user side. If only Microsoft were a bit better privacy-wise (allowing to disable telemetry etc)

I really miss this kind of direction on Mac.
AFAICR, the feature one had to pay for was ROM containing PowerPC code. It made Apple-compatible PCI cards much more expensive than x86-compatible. Especially video.

I have used airbnb, I would never install an airbnb app.

airbnb is really the stereotypical example of an application that most people will not download a native version of because nobody likes downloading a native version of an application that they only need to run right now for a couple minutes.

I think this is an interesting approach, and I think many people in this thread are missing the point.

When you are a company that needs to maintain multiple clients across platforms (web, android, ios, and so on) it is very hard to be good at 3 things at the same time: application performance, development velocity and cross-platform consistency. Every solution that currently exists sacrifices some of the points to improve others. For example: If you make a web app across platforms, then you sacrifice performance on mobile; If you use native apps everywhere, you sacrifice development velocity and cross-platform consistency.

You might be wondering: isn't something like React Native or Flutter solve all those issues? Yes, on the surface it's a great fit. For only slight sacrifice in performance you get everything. That is why Airbnb have tried React Native initially, but decided to abandon it in the end due to technical and organizational issues (read mote here [1]).

This is their new attempt at getting good trade-offs here. You get full performance because you are doing everything natively. You get solid cross-platform consistency and high development velocity, because you are making changes in one place. Bravo Airbnb!

Heh, yep - you are subsidising users that don't know how to do everything - and they are subsidising you by paying for the engineers to build robust and reliable systems with 24/7 operations support, and developers, and standards authors improving the system for the future... along with the support team.

Anyway, I've already filed the DMARC request internally, and linked to this thread.
I think it wouldn’t matter if the authors were trained as immunologists or not had they published a methodologically sound findings. That’s the problem with authority in science right there.

One important takeaway is that even “scientists” can be anti-vaxers.
Companies relying on Office and Windows. But Office is probably the main driver here.

People say Linux isn't ready for enterprise, but I think that is plainly wrong, even with the lack of pendants to domain controllers. Most IT-service providers disagree because they have invested knowledge here. Even those that don't buy into becoming Microsoft MVP.

Might not work that easily with really large companies, but the common medium sized company could save thousands in licence costs without increasing maintenance.

But many of them still employ some weird Access ERP-solution that supplies a lot of inertia. Inertia that was a created even before the cloud rush.

If you look at the work the normal clerk does, you could just a well use a version of Word for Windows 3.11.
Thanks, that did help.

I still cant get around when the standard made mistakes though -_-'but I suspect most of it might be compiler fixable. Pity clang does not allow more inlining control, its been the fix for too many gcc clang perf differences that I've seen.
It seems a pretty big omission in a discussion of the US and nationhood to not mention the concept of civic nationalism, as the US is often considered the main example of civic nationalism. If a nation is an imagined community based on a myth of commonality, that myth doesn't have to be based on just biological natality (that's the etymology of "nation", but it's never been the whole meaning - definitions of nations have always appealed to a common heritage and tradition that is broader than just ancestry). The common myth can be one of values or a shared non-biological origin; indeed the belief that most Americans are descended from immigrants is an important part of the national mythology of the US. This is civic nationalism (and the idea of a nation as necessarily about common descent is, by contrast, referred to as "ethnic nationalism").
The cop has no idea if someone is recording, video or even audio. They have no idea what the filmer's intentions are. They have no knowledge or awareness of how the person might edit, alter, or distribute the content.

It would be 'dim' for a claimant to suggest that the cop is participating in some kind of attempt to break copyright.

Rather, more obviously, the person doing the filming in public, without anyone's permission or awareness, just as any other filmmaker/documentarian, is unambiguously a party to some kind of production that ultimately may or may not violate copyright law.
In large enough systems some kind of “salt removal” mechanism might be added - I think it wasn't added to a PoC just to make it as simple and cheap as possible.
