funny you automatically assume them being the one on the "losing" side. I'm the one geting a job that pays 1.5x thanks to remote. It does come with cons for both me and my team in regard to logistic of meetings.

The biggest cons for me is that I don't have the choice to be on many random meetings which sound annoying on the surface but are good for building rapport and getting involved in company initiatives you whouldn't know.

Unless the company is completely async, there are always advantages to working in HQ (albeit virtually).
In 2008 Myspace had 110 million monthly active users worldwide, 74 million in the US.

Reading closely, it looks like they are still indemnified. It seems like the only term that was struck out was the one demanding sovereign assets as collateral.

With my cynical hat on, that clause feels like a tactic - an unreasonable demand that tests desperation but also allows for a face-saving concession in negotiations.
This goes back to the generally weak worker protections in the US. Background checks are a pretty hostile approach for most jobs, since after all it is assumed that the person which was convicted paid their debt to society. Sure, for certain kinds of positions like working as a lawyer or in a bank, or working with kids perhaps it makes sense, but for programmers working on consumer and B2B software it's a stretch.

In many countries there has to be a justified reason to request a criminal record certificate.

As for the vaccine, the employer has no business knowing or demanding anything related to the health of an employee, unless that thing is directly affecting their performance. Lack of vaccination does no such thing.
Yandex reminds me of what Google was like in the early 2010s. It just gives me the results of the search term I put in.

Totally unreasonable. A space heater uses 900-1800 watts. Slow cooker 250, TV 175, electric stove 4000, AC 1500, hair dryer 1500.

Idling gaming PC? 70 maybe? That's the same as a couple lights. The average house uses 30kwh a day, so an idling gaming PC would be 0.25% of that.

The regulation is insane. Gaming PC's probably use less than 0.05% of overall residential energy.
It is safe to keep using a malloc'd memory region after you've freed it, as long as you haven't done any more malloc calls after the free. (I think this stopped being true a lot longer than 20 years ago, but it was true in old UNIXes and documented in the manuals, so some code legitimately relied on it.)

Judicious use of register declarations can make your C code run a lot faster (true back in the day; most compilers ignore those declarations now).

Fermat's last theorem is an unsolved math problem. Reference: Knuth TAOCP presented it as an "M50" rated exercise, designating a research problem. (FLT was solved in 1995, after which I think Knuth lowered that exercise's rating to M49).
unvaccinated people are two to three times more contagious than vaccinated people.

I think the moon is a harsh mistress is also the one that has the scene where the female lead wants to help on the farm, but her boobs are too "distracting" to the men folk, so she goes back to the kitchen instead. (Its been a while, i might be misrepresenting it)

Which stood out to me as first and foremost being shockingly mysogynistic, but also i guess is pretty strongly pro traditional gender roles.

At the same time though, the female lead is a political agitator/rebel, which is quite far removed from what i would consider traditional gender roles.

In any case though, i think when people talk about someone being socially conservative, they mean more in the context of contemporary practise. Like moon is harsh mistress may have practises deemed "traditional" in universe to the characters, but as a work, its setup as a commentary on contemporary norms, so its still arguing for change as a work, even if its not doing so explicitly in the text by the characters.
fork() if a POSIX thing, and Windows is not the only non-POSIX OS around.

Exactly. I learned russian to B2 level without any paid material. I used Google translate to learn about 50 words per day. I went for couple of months to the country. Took me about 10 months to get to B2. Advancing further now is harder. Guidance needed from a professional.

The other difference is that US courts and other civil institutions have integrity. Outside of the civilized world it's a little bit 'no man's land' - SA's former leader is going to jail on corruption charges, and the country let lose with mass violence.

If there ever was an interesting example of 'information suppression' (or avoidance), and there are many, it's the problems recently in SA. There's so little coverage of the insane violence.

It's reasonable that a company is not going to want subject themselves to that system.

I've tried to use Duolingo to learn a new language. I found it very effective for a few weeks (of daily exercise).

I remember though, that at some point the questions were repeated frequently, went off the intended theme, and overall, they were not intended to make users think or remember.

Getting off track was something that irritated me the most, as I couldn't focus on a subject.

Essentially, after the initial phase, it's completely useless as a learning tool. It's a shame because it could be effective and fun at the same, but I have the suspicion that mid/long-term learning effectiveness is not their target.
Emissions standards have also made it nearly impossible to repair your own vehicle, leading to tons of waste and extra expense.

Car manufacturers like these regulations because they're an "eco friendly" way of banning self repairs.
Which is more valuable for real discussion: hearing an opinion you disagree with argued well and thus coming to see why it is widely held, or hearing a view you disagree with argued poorly, further convincing you that its adherents are simply morons?

If you're not getting the opinions you want to read, it's easy enough to pick up a different paper. The danger of a bad op-ed is tricking people into thinking they are getting both sides of the story when they aren't.
That seems like the sort of thing that should require a judge's order.
> You still need DHCP for more than one reason:

1) You generally do not need prefix delegation in v6: you use IPv6 like it has been designed too: routable address everywhere, /64 per default and prefix over it.

2) SLAAC is stateless and deterministic: One MAC address will always gives you the same IP. That makes DDNS mostly useless.

But even if you really want to do it, it is also possible with SLAAC.
Yes, I agree. I think that there's a lot of value to be extracted from people's desire to learn a language, whether or not the product is actually effective at creating that environment to do so. That's kind of what I meant in my original comment.
There's no point continuing this if you insist on displaying such a deep misunderstanding of PHEVs.

You literally still can't get past the fundamental point half of what you listed as needed for an ICE is already needed for a BEV. Even the Model 3 has an oil pump and filter!

The packaging challenges faced are not somehow forcing you to stick the engine in some magical super important place where batteries would never have to be either, like I have no idea why you're acting like a frunk is some sacred place you're robbed of if there's an engine there when several BEVs have come out without them.

Like do you not realize a Model S has a radiator? Or that there are ICE cars with engines everywhere from the front to the back of the car?

-

And theres are no cheap EVs besides econoboxes priced above their bracket. Phev or not.

That's why as far as I'm concerned we're not on a realistic path to reducing our emissions.

Everyone is throwing out deadlines for ICE production and patting themselves on the back until those deadlines approach and are kicked down the line.

An entire classes of EVs hasn't appered yet, and for now we can blame the cost of batteries or something, but eventually we'll run out of excuses.

The true reason is because companies that have been incrementally updating the same platforms for a decade won't go and redesign their cars as EVs and keep them affordable. That's why the Model 3, which really is the EV equivalent of a Camry, costs 10-15k extra.

Meanwhile the Rav 4 Prime is equipped similarly to a Rav 4 Limited but only costs 3k more (also comes with 100 more HP...)

PHEVs are poised to fill the gap when reality comes home to roost. When our power grids are failing to cope with basic cooling, no one is going to force people to look at other options.
You describe the workload of a conscientious manager well. The problem is that the work is largely not necessary. The team would do just fine without you, handling the same problems closer to the source and interacting with the rest of the company directly or through a non-managerial coordinator. All the effort a manager must undertake just to maintain some familiarity with the situation on the ground is an unfortunate waste as it will never be perfect and always will introduce additional steps and noise and need for corrections into the communication chain, or worse, just lead to misrepresentation and flawed personnel calls.

It can indeed be amazing to work with an inspiring and challenging person but that does not need to be a manager. Any inspiring manager could probably have been an even greater coworker.

Hopefully that makes some sense, and yes, I am criticizing myself as well in this comment.

Good point. We'll change the meeting description to include this note about water (or anything else), this way we can skip the whole conversation and go straight to the meeting.
The biggest issue I have with TPM is that it's overly sensitive to the device configuration. Plug in an extra mouse at boot and I'm locked out of BitLocker (it asks for the recovery key). That's too dangerous for my data, at least for my personal use. VeraCrypt works better in that aspect.
I think some people have reservations about the chemicals that make up the non-stick coating.

Others don't want to deal with buying new pans every few years due to the flaked off coating. Not to mention that buying new pans every few years is a bit of wasteful consumerism.

Either way you probably don't want to be cooking on high heat unless you're doing a saute. Your meat is going to be charged outside and raw inside. It takes time to move that heat into the middle regardless of the pan.
The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program doesn’t seem to prevent you from going through a regular court. From your link

> The special master's decision may be appealed and petitioners who reject the decision of the court (or withdraw their petitions within certain timelines) may file a claim in civil court against the vaccine company and/or the health care provider who administered the vaccine.
> They don't like the fact that I'm not trying to charge, just providing a free app for the masses in my spare time.

That's obviously wrong, as tens of thousands of free apps in the App Store prove.

I guess you have a legitimate grievance, but this over-the-top accusations and guessing at motives doesn't make you look good.
I completely agree.

At this point AWS desperately needs higher level abstractions with sane/safe defaults. They seem to be heading in that direction, example Amplify, but they still have a long way to go.

I suspect AWS has now gotten so huge that there is no one PM to take a holistic look and build something to ease the pain of developers. I think a few startups are trying to fill this void.
Krita has a different focus though. What photoshop is to Illustrator, is GIMP to Krita.

I use both and I think GIMP is really usable and the UI isn't that bad. There were some changes though, so people should take a look at the latest version.

Google search has progressively deteriorated in quality over the last 10 years, to the point where I see it becoming useless in the relatively near future. And it's mainly not even their fault.

I've been using Google search for all kinds of research for 15 years. There used to be a time when you could find the answer to pretty much anything. I could find leaked source codes on public FTP servers, links to pirated software and keygens, detailed instructions for a variety of useful things. That was the golden age of the web.

These days, all the "interesting" data on the Internet is all inside closed Telegram chats, facebook groups, Discords or the rare public website here and there that Google
doesn't want to index (like sci-hub, or other piracy sites).

The data that remains on SERPs is now also heavily censored for arbitrary reasons. "For your health", "For your protection". Google search is done.
Is there such a thing?
Sometimes it's better to stick with what you like instead of spending days figuring out how to include everyone.
We'll just adapt the meeting if we see someone doesn't fit.
How I do this is:

On the main page, the comment has a header, e.g. "peakaboo 1 hour ago [–]"

Click on the "1 hour ago" (will be later for you, obviously)

Now you see just the 1 comment, and a reply form.

But now the header has more options, "peakaboo 1 hour ago | parent | flag | favorite"

I have clicked "flag", to help take out the trash on this one too.
That seems automatically testable. Load the site in simulator, then look at the URL history.
There is little incentive for anyone to curate a list of 'best bikes under $500' for any reason other than this though?

However. the fact that you found so many amazon affiliates says more about the integrity of other bike retailers. Why would there not be an even spread of affiliate links to merchants other than amazon do you wonder?

Certainty of payment, that's why.
First if you enjoy learning new languages and you find it useful thats great! Not trying to put you down in any way. However, you say:

> it's probably the closest thing I waste my time on that's like a video game these days yet 100x more productive

This makes it sound like video games are useless and learning a new language is super useful. In your situation this could totally be true but for some people (like me!) learning a new language isn't super useful! If your a video game dev playing games would be 100x more productive than learning a new language and if you travel around the world then learning a language would be 100x better than a video game! I feel like its almost impossible to know whats more "productive" in general.

Prevention of obesity is a bit harder than getting vaccinated.

Also the data you link to is about heart disease. Many people will have some sort of heart disease as they age even without being obese. The #1 risk factor of heart disease is age. Age is not preventable.
Reading the comments here gives me the impression that Duolingo is more of a game than a language learning ressource. Interestingly Zynga, makers of Farmville, targeted a $7B valuation on the day of their IPO nearly 10 years ago [0], it quickly dropped after though [1].

You can try transferring to an EU office, it's unlikely that they can mandate vaccination there. :-)
The problem with unions is that power corrupts and some of them become political organizations.
Do you consider passing your diseases on to others to be among your various prerogatives?
Are you factoring in risk to others?

The aggregate risk of a poorly-vaccinated population is, presumably, still likely much higher than the "longitudinal risks" of vaccines?

ie., it seems unlikely to me that vaccines will kill 100,000s (and, with covid continuing, 10s,000s+/yr).

Even doing this based on individual preference alone, presumably you have preferences for the safety of (some) others; of your workplace; etc.

The CDC holds patents for vaccines.
true, the problem is when the same person is both the arsonist and the fire fighter. It becomes a habit for some people to show "heroic" effort. No effort is done to see who caused the issue, the spotlight is usually on who fixed it.
These "arsonists" also have higher velocity in delivering features since they don't care about quality, so they get into the good books of upper management.

> Cleaning shouldn't require much effort. For most cases, it's sufficient to pour some sea salt on the pan, scrub with a paper towel, heat the pan until it's quite hot, and then steam it with hot water

That only works so-so for me. What always works is baking soda with a little bit of water and heat. The fat and meat residue just cooks off into the water and cleaning after that is a breeze.
Clever. Never seen that idea before.

Make it standard practice to do meetings virtual whenever there is someone remote joining in. Most meetings will be virtual (and that's fine), and whenever a certain problem benefits from people meeting physically, just plan it.
From your link:

> By 1999 the average claim took two years to resolve, and 42% of resolved claims were awarded compensation, as compared with 23% for medical malpractice claims through the tort system.

That doesn’t seem like “very little”. Or do you mean the amount paid out for successful claims is lower than in regular court?
That is correct - please first enable ipv6 and assign it a subnet in your /etc/docker/daemon.json, then restart the service. Details at:

Because it hasn't been mentioned here, this is another incredible success story from Luis von Ahn. He is the first Guatemalan founder of a unicorn startup.
That is such a fertile ground for anti-vaxxers. Number one argument I hear is “If vaccines are so safe, why does nobody take responsibility for the side-effects?”. And to some extent, they’re right, you know. I bet pharma execs are walking away with six-seven figure bonuses no matter what.
10 people quit? That would barely qualify as news if 1000 had quit.
I upvoted both you and the parent, as both positions are valid. The difficulty of the issue is that a personal decision to vaccinate or not influences also the health of other people. This result could be weaker if Google didn't insist on forcing people back to the office - but they already made the decision so you either comply or lose your job, there is not much to discuss.
> The problem is that language learning is inherently about putting your brain in tricky, slightly painful situations

Immersion is the only way you’ll ever truly learn a language. All the classes, flash cards, etc., in the world can’t teach you how to clear up a misunderstanding with the manager at hotel in Spanish.

I remember at some point we did Duolingo in Spanish, and the Spanish speaking kids were shocked how fast we (black) tested out of topics and progressed. The reason was pretty obvious; we’re around y’all a lot lol.

My recommendation is even if you don’t have many people speaking the language you want to learn near you, immerse yourself. Read popular modern authors in the language, listen to podcasts in the language, join a game server and practice in-game interaction in the language (hard mode).

Maybe it is useless. But you may find that those encounters take place on a foundation built by some little green bird named Duo.

The idea that the homepage is a publication's face is woefully outdated. Traffic flows to stories through social media and SEO, distributed entry points that don't touch the homepage. It's not irrelevant, but this is a disproportionate emphasis to place on it.

I found something similar with our codebase, but with super permissive rules. During the conversion of one codebase that was roughly 100 js files, I found an average of 2 bugs per file. Little annoying bugs we had in our database where some results array was missing here or there was finally crystal clear to everyone why the bug existed.
The fact that it took Techdirt, A site which supposedly is read by all leading Big Tech CEOs this long to do away with Google Ads shows how helpless nascent independent writers who have a fraction of audience of that of techdirt are when it comes to monetization without Ads.

I'm myself in that category, I know that my blog has enough visitors to break even at least the running cost with Ads but I could not pull myself to do it when I personally hate Ads, Feel its disrespectful to attention and go all the way to ensure I don't see one(Pi-Hole, UBlock etc.).

My content are distributed randomly across several interests and I don't have regular schedule due to health reasons so a patreon wouldn't work. Paypal donations are blocked for my country. So the best bet is 'Buy Me a Coffee' but then I have to pay both Stripe + BMaC commissions, I have to register a business to be able to get International payments on Stripe anyways.

So a direct stripe payment or similar PG is the only option to monetize open content for this scenario and since tax id is involved due to Intl. payments it's not a donation.
If ain't broke, don't fix it.
True. I borrowed a friend's top of the line Demeyere. It is a clad pan with a 4-5mm aluminum core. That pan could hold a lot of heat and dump it fast. It was too easy to burn your wrist just glancing it over the rim, even at conservative heat levels.

In the end, it didnt cook that much better than my All-Clad D7. So I just stayed with that. But I have never cooked with anything so brimming with heat and ready to pour it into absolutely anything that came into contact with it.
What I don't understand, and perhaps you may help me understand; is what powers the backend of AWS? Mainframes?
