Are you saying these people should be more aware and considerate of your culture and experience as an immigrant with a hard to pronounce name in an English speaking country? That they should consider your feelings and change how they behave to suit you better?

Because that sounds pretty 'woke' to me, and you seem to be attacking people for trying to be woke and annoying you in the process.

I just worry that if someone attempts to make you happy by doing this, there will be an even smaller minority of people with hard to pronounce names and right-of-center political views who will be absolutely furious that the PC brigade (i.e. you) are trying to dictate what English speakers are allowed to make small talk about about in their own country, stifling free speech just in case some foreigner gets annoyed. Then they'll insist that English speakers should always do whatever their gut instinct tells them to even, no especially, if it annoys some oversensitive immigrant. Some people would much prefer to defend the noble principle of free speech than worry about something silly like wasting 5 mins in a meeting.

> People would be less susceptible to disinformation if they could actually trust mainstream sources like the NYT.

What is the relationship between more trust in a mainstream source and susceptibility to disinformation you are implying here?

For example, IIRC Rush Limbaugh's audience gave him a lot of credibility and was less informed because of that.
It does seem that torrent software is very likely unwanted by the customer on enterprise, where the customer is the business.
Years ago I watched a documentary on the World Series of Poker. They asked one of the top players if he was a gambling addict. His response was essentially, "To reach our level of play, you pretty much have to be." This is true to be the best in really anything. I've had the privilege to meet people who are considered the best in the world in a couple of different disciplines. They all see to have similar traits, bad home life, most of the alcoholics, obsessive. Losing everything else seems to be the price of greatness in a discipline.
Part of it comes down to signal drive strength.

If you design to a socketed DIMM package, you actually have two trace domains, the CPU to the socket, and the socket to the RAM chips. For that to be reliable, you have to adhere to standards for DIMM (or SODIMM) so that multiple manufacturers can build compliant interchangeable parts.

If you solder the chips down to the main board directly, you only have once domain for the traces, CPU directly to RAM. At that point you can tweak the design for several goals, speed, power, etc.. And you can tune the drive strength on the signalling the same.

That is how you end up with more efficient soldered designs over socketed designs.
@dang the article link is broken, the above works for me.
As with most things in computer security this is mostly performed as a self-assessment. The insurer will provide a set of questions about things like backup policies, access control, and encryption which you’re expected to answer. Unless it’s a ridiculously valuable policy they’re not going to get pentesters in to verify your answers, in the same way your home insurer doesn’t send someone round to check you really do have smoke detectors and locks on your front door.

I doubt that explanation. I haven't watched that video, but I doubt it includes a graphic description of the acts of that organization, which I guess is the part that you wouldn't want children to know. And a child that's able to browse the internet freely can learn easily see way more horrible things. Apart from that, it says that the video is restricted "according to community guidelines", which seems to imply that someone enforcing community guidelines and not the creator restricted the video.
I guess because your chat app is also your contacts management app, even if by accident.

Reading this is heart breaking, I'm sorry for your losses. I personally do not approve of the actions Israel is taking against Palestine but unfortunately this is an entirely different conversation and going there will probably cause disagreement across the board, causing posts to be flagged and/or removed.

NYT reporting at it's best. How come that a paper that is not small at all (I believe they even have a Tech department, from what i understand it's a low-budget one, but still) doesn't have any tech advisors that can do proofreading?

If they are this careless about technology, how can I trust them with reporting that touches other domains?
BBC presenter died of blood clot from the jab:

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/bbc-presenter-die...

Mandating a medicine which many people don't really need is yet the most unethical dystopian thing of our current times. This is nothing like paying taxes because no tax bill has caused someone to die from side effects.

Also I know that those side effects are extremely rare, but if you force it on 100% of the population then you know that there will be some who will be affected and you are essentially willingly killing some in order to protect others. That is completely unethical in principle.

And I repeat, I am pro vaccine, but not forcefully applied to everyone. It should be a choice. I was happy to get vaccinated because I wasn't afraid of any side effects. But I also wasn't afraid of COVID so there's that.
Yes. Europe developed vaccines and gave some for free to Africans but somehow "the EU might have ruined Africa's best chance out of the pandemic". This is one more article in the thread of "White man bad" that are trendy since a few years. And the article doesn't enlighten us of what would have happened if UE didn't gave any vaccine whatsoever or let Africa develop one, since UE intervention supposedly f*cked up the situation.
You can notice such behavior IRL as well.

It's literally the second thing people learn when learning a second language. The first is how to say your name, the second is where are you from. And then you pretend to be from somewhere else and do to the above. After the first lesson of any language the only thing you know is your name and names of other countries lol so I'm not sure what are you talking about

Oh I used to love leaky HANDLE hunts. These things could bring windows 3.n (and maybe NT 4.v too?) to its knees pretty quickly so I was always really careful about diligently freeing them.

And, like many commenters below constantly surprised that so many apps still ship with these problems, since it's so easy to spot them. Windows perfmon also gives you a nice graph, so you can correlate e.g. GUI behaviour with a jump in handles being created that then never get freed.
> We're talking about making it your full-time job for at least 10 years. Yes, that's how hard it is.

Very true

An uncle of mine is a state chess champion in India, has often reached national level, but finds it hard to compete for this reason.

He says most people who play and win at national level have sponsorships--so they practice chess full time.

So its hard to even become a national level player without doing this either full time, for for many many decades (decades, not years)

Does screen-sharing and letting someone control your screen count as "subletting"? Does inviting someone to join your local Minecraft game (which internally starts a server and exposes it to the internet) count as subletting?

If your ISP sells you a service of X Mbps (and if they want to be more precise, X packets per second and X total data transferred in a month) you should be able to use it for any purpose you want. The purpose or content of said packet don't suddenly make it take more network resources.

If ISP's networks suddenly can't cope because people start using what they've paid for then it's on them and they need to price it accordingly and market it more honestly.
Even if you’re willing to devote 10 years of your life to chess you will not become a grandmaster unless you’re starting out as a child.

Bias is in every news source, but let's not pretend it's a "good thing" - I would rather everyone be less biased and more open in their reporting. I still do occasionally read the New York Times, but I find that reporting from Axios and local news sources is usually superior, because they have less of this bias and seem to stick to clear, direct facts.
Austrian Solution
Yesterday I set up a Pi-Hole container which my internal DNS server now uses as an upstream resolver. As a first time Pi-Hole user I can now confirm that it does its job just fine.

For some odd reason uBlock didn't block it for me, after I disabled Pi-Hole to check.

It's not a first party ad. Maybe there is a reason why I added amazon-adsytem.com to the uBlock whitelist.
I was deeply impressed when I visited Japan in early 2000's and saw people with flip-phones typing in Japanese at speed comparable to what I saw people do on a flip-phone using English. It looked like they had auto-complete available on phones a decade before we saw it in the US!
I wish I had some grasp of how effective it was. It seems to work by exacerbating existing differences. I don't believe it could create dissension where none existed. It just provides easy support for what people already wish to believe. We'd been creating this division all by ourselves.

It's presumably cheap, so it doesn't really matter if it moves the needle by .1 percentage point, or 1 point, or 10 points. It's good bang for the buck.

But unfortunately, I suspect that even if they stopped, it wouldn't be noticeably better here.

The article is sligthly better than the headline, but still I don't think it if fair to blame the EU for this. And one part the article doesn't mention is that limiting the use of AZ in younger people wasn't just decided by politics, in many countries this was done by independent scientific bodies.

There were a bunch of times were communication was bad, and I'd blame individual politicians here as well as some parts of the media. But this is also a fundamentally difficult thing to convey, the vaccine is not bad and far better than no vaccine for people above a certain age. But it has certain rare and serious side effects, and at lower ages the cost/benefit calculation for the AZ vaccine is not really in favor of it.

I don't think there is anyone to blame if people chose a vaccine with fewer serious side effects if they have access to it.

And all the talk didn't prevent people from still getting the AZ vaccine at a time vaccines were scarce, even if you're in an age group where it wasn't recommended. I got the first dose AZ myself, and I'm outside the age group it is recommended for in Germany.

This. Besides most vaccines were to reach Africa from India. And the reason they didn’t is the devastating second wave in the country. Had India not had their wave, Africa would be much further along. US approval has no bearing here.

The reality is every country preferred and promoted shots made in their own country/region. One can write a similar article that India not approving US vaccines and not signing indemnity in favour of AZ shots made at home signals that US vaccines are inferior because of heart inflammation concerns.
But it's not nothing— across 100s of thousands of animals, that would be enough to hire some number of additional staff, bylaw enforcement officers, etc; at least something to offset the added load of complaints and other issues related to these pets.
I think a dead man's switch is mentioned:

"The Alerter system is connected directly to the air brake system which functions to provide an automatic full service penalty application of the air brake system, and a power knock out (PC) caused by failure to acknowledge the time out feature usually about 40 seconds. When the Alerter time out has expired, the engineer must acknowledge by tripping the acknowledging switch which will reset the time out feature. The Alerter system is nullified when locomotive brake cylinder pressure of 20 psi is developed in the Independent Application and Release pipe. This also prevents the P2A Application Valve from triggering a service brake application and PC action."
As I said, the union has enough benefits that the value of higher salary positions isn't worth it to many. In the union you are not allowed to work more than 36 hours a week (I might have the numbers off a bit?) and they check to ensure that. Non-union can work longer hours, in practice they don't, but they are allowed to. There are a number of other things like that, the one lead engineer I work with in Germany doesn't think they are worth it, but the majority do.

The above is about great engineers who are holding themselves back. I have no doubt that those who are willing to not be in the union are also willing to leave the country leading to some brain drain, but many are also holding themselves back as well.

Generally, I wouldn't rely on any one method - critical thinking and critical reading are skills that each person must develop. It seems a little trite to just recommend the one Cornell guide, even if it is of high quality...

> This was discussed years ago, but it's been a reality for a long while.

This is technically true, but the damage unleashed in the past decade is unprecedented, multiplied by social networks that didn't exist in the past. Just from the top of my head, we see the defamation campaign against Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit, the coup against Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, Trump's election and the subsequent erosion of American democracy, the continuous propping up of far-right extremists in Europe and the election of a fascist lunatic in Brazil that caused record-breaking COVID mortality and unprecedented rainforest destruction.

> People feel entitled to their internet access without consideration of infrastructure costs, especially in North America.

What? People are paying the infrastructure costs through their internet bill. If the ISP is pricing it wrong or is mis-representing what they're selling then it's the ISP's fault and not the customers'. The ISP is free to change prices and/or change their marketing to represent the true nature and capability of the service they're selling.
I wonder if the MAFIAA can pressure software vendors to ban classes of software.

What is history’s solution?
As has been said on here many times, the problem is with a lack of accountability. My information was stolen as part of the OPM hack. No one has taken my identity yet, but various nations no doubt know that I used to work in sensitive positions, and pretty much all my private information.

You know what the government did about this? They gave me free credit monitoring for a certain number of years. Enough critical information / infrastructure is online that heads should roll with each major breach.

There is apathy toward security on a large scale. There is apathy toward identity thievery. I grew out of the "death to capitalism" stage of my life decades ago but in this case it is obvious that money is protecting the big players.

Having a common name they’ve heard before helps to some degree here, but also there’s a Thai way of saying it and woe-betide you if you don’t say it the Thai way…

My favourite Thai pronunciation is the common Thai nickname “Apple” which is a loanword. However they pronounce it “ah-poon” because the character they use for the l sound (ล) is pronounced as an n in the terminal position. Also, Thais like to shorten words, so sometimes this nickname becomes simply Ple, pronounced “Poon” O_o
> Does it? I've never heard of companies not paying the workers any money, just because they have their own town

Yes, because it's now illegal, at least in the US where this practice was pervasive.

> That is true for many job changes. If it is a big deal for someone they can just not join such a company.

There's a world of difference between there are few options for jobs without changing your field ( e.g. working as a waiter/waitress when in a financial emergency) and literally having zero jobs outside of a company where you live. One is " we probably have to move if i piss off my boss", the other is "we need to move".

> Huh? Having a company town doesn't grant the company absolute authority. They still have to abide by the laws of the land

That's extremely naive. Everyone in that town works for the company or has immediate family working for it. How many people would dare refuse or blow the whistle on illegal activities when their lives would be uprooted as a consequence? The power dynamic is very heavily tilted towards the employer.
