Pop down to Screwfix or whatever and grab a set of drain rods (about £30-50) and some manhole cover lifters (a few quid). Some long flat screwdrivers and a jemmy are also useful for lifting covers. Wear marigolds or marigolds under rigger gloves or those red coloured anti chemical gloves (watch out for holes.) Find out what is your responsibility to keep clear.

The drains are fine for what they are designed to deal with which is weather as it was known many decades ago. All that stuff is designed to deal with a 1 in n year event eg a 1 in 100 year event or 1 in 500 or 1 in 1000 etc. The problem is that 1 in 100 year events are happening nearly annually these days. It's not quite as bad as that but not far off.

Have a think about where you are in relation to flooding events because they will happen more often and with increasing severity where you are. If you have a mate who is a Civil Engineer or a Hydrologist, works in Flooding in the Environmental Agency or other useful type, instead of a banker or IT (I'm an ex Civ Eng and now work in IT - bloody useless) then buy them a beer or two and ask for advice.

Keep your drains clear and your guttering too.
Now's the time to sell a car if you have an extra to spare. One of the few times in history when cars actually appreciate. A car I bought for 53k 4 years ago I could've sold for 55k last week until I got cold feet. lol
If the job market was 100% guarantee, it probably wouldn't be rational to assume that everything on someone's github profile needs to be there to try and impress you; they wouldn't need to try anything extra, or grind leetcode problems, and Who Wants to be Hired threads wouldn't exist.

I'd personally prefer a low likelihood of getting an interview, because that's way more manageable than current hiring practices where many companies hold global talent contests as the first step, and send them to everyone, as though they're Amazon.
In my part of the (3rd) world, people on Twitter(!) would boast of being in erudite and sophisticated Clubhouse rooms while speaking down their noses at Android peasantry[1], most times in good nature.

It's pretty much impossible to distinguish rare bugs from user error if you don't have logging/telemetry.
First of many such cases, if the allegations I've heard are at all representative.

It's a tough ask for businesses - they either replace their existing, presumably qualified staff due to their inherent characteristics being unfashionable, or they create new positions and fill those with people with other characteristics for purely statistical purposes.

Doing the latter exacerbates the "fifth column" situation that in turn increases the chance of situations like that in the OP.

Seems like a poisoned chalice from the first sip, but I may be biased due to my inherent characteristics.

AngelList SPVs: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
There’s a difference between the classes __qualname__ and the requirement that there be reference to the class at, say, __main__.$qualname as the way for pickle to actually find the class object.

This is the part that, to me, is really odd because pickle knows (in theory) the class and module name of the thing it needs to instantiate and the class objects themselves know their name and module.

Up to the lack efficiency actually doing this you could just enumerate all class objects to find the one with the right name and module name.

You get nested classes for free this way and you break the requirement that there be references to class objects of the same name in the module.
I'll argue with anyone about anything. For free.

Your article doesn’t seem to have any stats. Can you back up the assertion that they are not spending their enforcing laws? You have a lot of handwaving about the history of police departments and pushback against like bodycams but nothing concrete.

The police in my area spend most of their time enforcing traffic laws, responding to domestic disturbances, etc. Murders are taken very seriously, regardless of who was murdered.

Based on my actual experience living with police in a boring suburbia, your article comes across as completely out of touch with reality due to no actual experience.

Have you considered that the reason there isn’t an explicit law that police have to respond to a given call is because there is immense political and therefore organizational pressure for them to do so? The county sheriff or the mayor would get voted out if that was a pattern in our local government and then police leaders would get fired.
How bad is it? In germany cars swam, several people died.
you certainly won't be finding a deal new. friend of mine's father owns a group of dealerships in the town, they have people going to other dealers paying MSRP just to have inventory on their lots and sell for more obviously
Yes, but the fact that scenario is hypothetical doesn't counter my argument that whatever the developer thinks is rare is actually rare.

The Guardian (UK), which made much of Assange's revelations currently has these two phrases as part of it's campaign to raise funds.

"With the funding of more than 1.5 million readers in 180 countries, the Guardian remains open to all and fiercely independent, and can continue chasing the truth."
(Front page promo)

"Because of our independence, we are able to investigate boldly, putting the truth ahead of the agenda of an owner, investors or shareholders. And because we are reader-funded we have been able to keep our journalism open for all to read, so when important stories like this come along, everyone gets to read them."

Cheap money. Low lending rates are driving people to buy new (to them) houses. You'll also find unprecedented demand for renovations as people take cash out with refinances to fund their improvements.
> Given the thousands of US Mil installations all across the globe

There are only 750-800 US military installations around the world. Most of these are small. This number has been reduced by about 1000 since the peak in the 1980s (cold war era). The majority of large installations are in the US.
If this is polished [1] then it's a sorry state.
This was taken a few years ago, programs were iirc Eclipse, Libreoffice and an editor. I don't care if it's the DEs fault, Qt, GTK ... the same programs have consistency if run on Windows. I don't care what order (or naming), as long as it's consistent. (ie Save, Close without, Cancel)

This is muscle memory. No shortcuts are not an alternative, merely a workaround. The underlying issue would still be there.

Unfortunately Android has taken over this inconsistency, probably because there is nobody that enforces it. "Mark as read" and "Reply" in the notifications are sometimes left/right, sometimes reversed. Yes/no questions are sometimes left, sometimes right. Snooze vs. alarm cancel too. What a disaster.

Even if its 100% green energy - which don't get me wrong is orders of magnitude better for warming of the planet - it still contributes to warming of the earth. You're taking some wavelengths of light that would normally be absorbed by say plant matter (thus using that energy to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere) over an area and/or some wavelengths simply reflected out to space without being absorbed by the solar panels (which definitely are designed to absorb as many wavelengths as possible). Then energy conversion from DC to AC and to transmissions lines to where its used all have losses which is energy dissipated in heat form. So the conversion process there can cause heating as well.

Certainly better than combustion which creates heat AND creates gasses which trap that and other radiation as heat.

Gem of an article. Question/opinion though:

The CEO seems to manage the CPO & CTO relationship in these models as well, which seems like a risk given a CEO's value is investor and market / key customer facing, and any time they spend on managing the peers in the CPO/CTO relationship is opportunity cost against that value.

It also means the CPO & CTO as peers will be jockying for the CEO's attention as a deciding factor, which seems like unnecessary friction. The CPO's key relationships are to the board and supporting the CEO activities and sales key accounts with strategic feature alignment that may include M&A.

The CTO's key relationships are outward with technology partners, suppliers, vendors, etc. and downward in the org. A CTO should be a partnership with a COO role, as they are solving scale and optimization problems together.

All that is to say, depending on org maturity, I don't think CTO/CPO should be peers under the CEO. IMO one of the CPO/CTO should report to the other, as otherwise you're going to get unproductive running battles between them that cost CEO time. If you have this model and are wondering why your staff aren't working well together, it's you.

This is why it can be useful to keep a founder around as a facilitator with convening power, provided they aren't too marginalized or a loose cannon. That said, I've only consulted to orgs like this and see it across them, and this is not the view of a CEO.
> I'm not seeing it. What makes it profitable?

Avoiding future costs would be my guess. Carbon pricing and/or regulatory imposition will arrive and make failure to implement capture or abatement a costly prospect.

I was describing the historical situation and even now I think that's overstating things considerably — San Francisco and LA aren't exactly a stranglehold on state power and even there the policies actually enacted are nowhere near as lefty as conservative media would have you believe. Water shortages are going to make reforms happen at some point but _everyone_ knows it'll be a political knife-fight. Betting on, say, desalination plants might actually be easier from the perspective of not getting mired down in the snarl that are water rights contracts.
I think there are two issues: 1) Can you get your technically illiterate grandfather on there? 2) Is it easy to have a good experience without someone guiding you?

Confusingly labelled as R12a and sold under brands such as RedTek. This is the only type of refrigerant available to unlicensed consumers in Canada, and it is widely available in stores everywhere. R134a is not sold in stores here. The US is the opposite—R134a is available to DIYers everywhere, but R12a is banned because it is flammable.
Marijuana has other negative side effects especially when used by people under 18. I don't know about the long term evidence, but I would bet there are cognitive issues associated with regular use, such as short term memory loss.

It is also surprisingly common and socially accepted to drive while under the influence.

New cars are not nearly as inflated. The answer to the first question is yes, it's a very good time to sell old and buy new. One stipulation is that ordering a new vehicle with specifications they don't have on the lot will take in the realm of 6 months. Pretty big trade off, but I'm about to deal with this myself and can afford the time difference.
Your example proves the opposite. The person you accused of being "too plugged" correctly points out the ineffectiveness of electric cars.
Haha. Mine is a Model S. It's my baby so of course I couldn't sell it. I had just posted it for shits and giggles at a ridiculous price but I guess people are desperate.

I'll sell it once my Cybertruck preorder is ready! haha`
Exactly. Nobody dares yet to tell it's inflation.
In fact, your strategy can forward your goals with no causal connection to what you want to change, either by sheer luck, or because your rhetoric inspires people to do the Right Thing by some completely different means.

But I agree, of course, that these are not to be counted on.
Especially with global warming I wish they took climate into more account with deciding locations. It becomes borderline unsafe I think the US track trials were too hot if I remember right?

For training though the US climbers have a small space in their gym that is enclosed in plastic with heater humidifiers for this reason. pretty funny.

Temps + humidity - or 'condies' as the kids say - are really important to climb at the top level. Cold and a breeze is usually best.
Even with, what telemetry would allow you to determine how many pictures (and presumably content) you sent to whom?
Right, but it should be huge, it was only significantly surpassed by the pandemic in 2020, which is a clue that these are unadjusted dollars, and so the graph lacks any explanatory power.
This is not quite correct. In high inflation credit markets disappear. 80%+ of housing is bought on mortgages. If 80% of housing demand disappears you get a 2008.
"Else you are not getting the authentic php4 experience!" /s

Early DOS days: Knew a guy whose job was re-implementing a fairly simple database system that was in a goofy COBOL based thing, with a 64kb maximum database size. He'd been brought in with a brand new copy of dBase 3 to modernize the membership DB.

AFAIK when they finally got their copy of dBase 4, the "new system" had not ever been shown to a user. Their member list came out of 12 different instances of the old app, and de-duplicating and merging to make it into useable, mailable labels was the job I got called in for. Utterly horrible. They'd have done better with a spreadsheet.
They thought Navalny's 45th birthday was news.

They'd probably have thought a key witness who turned out to be a liar and a rapist of underage boys who was given immunity was a little bit newsworthy if it happened during the trial to, say, lock Navalny up.

Just not when it's Assange, I suppose.

Sometimes media outlets have an agenda.

> He's just a parasite.

He's less of a parasite than many rich people! I'm thinking of those who are nothing better than rentiers and/or running cartels, commandeering common resources for their own profits, accumulating money for themselves at the expense of society, who glamorize materialism and moralize hard work because that's what keeps the money rolling in from the plebes, and having the support of the government to keep them on top.

They seem to be have done, and are doing, way more harm to our society than this guy.
Because such rating is really misleading.
My back garden gets flooded due to that all the time. The neighbour puts their food down the sink so it blocks up under the ground. You end up with peas in the grass the day after. The birds seem to make short work of it and the grass grows nicely so I’m not overly bothered.

It isn't an under the table thing, at least in the UK. For the generalloy used frequency bands for this, there was an auction for the spectrum. You can get access to parts not being used by the people who bid on it.

You can also get an amateur radio license, and use frequency not normally used for this, but that probably means using SDR as most devices designed to use LTE will only work on normal LTE bands etc.

No bribes, connections, or anything shady etc needed.
There are two ways to approach the problem of deepening inequality:

1) With the perspective that this feature of how society operates can and should be changed;
2) With the perspective that this is simply how society works and you can adapt or die.

Either can be viewed as more tractable than the other (probably quite correctly depending on one's circumstances).

To adopt the former approach may mean that you are faced with the dilemma of whether or not to override the rights of detractors and those who disagree.

Even if you adopt the second approach, you may encounter a similar dilemma, e.g. you will decide to order your shoes from a company with operations in a third world nation paying lower local wages, or buy via Amazon despite reservations about their practices.

Whatever approach is adopted, awareness of what choices exist and what consequences they bring will be required.

To develop the tools that will enable this awareness and measurement is a massive problem on its own because of the complexity of interrelated systems, events, consequences and disparate interests. It may not even be possible.

But when there is no objective or even widely accepted 'true north' for decision making, the trend to deepening inequality is likely to continue.

From what I'm seeing in relatively extensive research lately, the KBB doesn't seem to reflect the difference much, especially for trade-ins. It could be that dealers aren't willing to put up with the inflated prices for trade-ins, but either way you're almost guaranteed to get a hefty bit more selling privately.
There was an entire system built around keeping certain people out of many homes and many jobs as possible. When those things became unlawful, do you think the people responsible for the old system would immediately change their mind about the whole thing and give it up, or do you think they would find esoteric ways to maintain the same effect? Do you think they would admit it if they did? Learn to read between the lines of the world around you.
Unlikely but that doesn't make your claim true.

Tangentially- what do you think about whistleblower protections where you are protected by law for reporting govt wrongdoing?
You shouldn't look at the debt alone. It's not inflation adjusted, and it doesn't account for the economy being far larger today than it was in the 1920s.

Debt to GDP is a better measure. We basically matched WWII on that metric, but the congressional budget office projects we'll exceed that going forward.

The 2008 global financial crisis was due to a compete failure of risk management in originating mortgages and packaging them as mortgage backed securities. In short, the industry was scraping the barrel and shoveling shit to investors. “If they can fog a mirror, fund the loan” was a phrase common at Countrywide. Lending standards are comparatively tight now, no NINJA loans [1]. The credit market will tighten, but housing demand won’t evaporate, and investors are starved for yield.

In high inflation environments, you want to lever up with debt to fund investments because your debt will be inflated away over time while you capture cash flow or asset appreciation. High yield debt (“junk bonds”) are also a great play for such a macro environment.

Has there been a surge, or were previously such things suppressed? Also, most books are marketed via publishers which means there is filter (read: bias) in what gets published and what does not.

It's an interesting idea (i.e., analyze books) but the context is going to influence the results.
