I certainly haven’t seen my preferred solution, just building them houses, done for fifty years. Sure sounds like you’re asserting that my preferred plan hasn’t worked despite it not having been tried at all and therefore asserting that the only choice is your plan.

What I’ve seen is fifty years of increased incarceration, police spending, and soaring housing prices.

You can read my past comments - I agree with you completely.

Toilet cleaners, garbage men and fruit pickers should not just be paid well for the important work they do; they should be given respect for it as well.

Taking advantage of their desperation is absolutely unjust.

"The KTDI is based on decentralised digital identity which uses cryptography, distributed ledger technology and emerging international standards to enable an individual to self-manage trusted and verified identity attributes. Through KTDI, travellers can collect and share attestations. An attestation is a verified claim issued by a trusted entity, such as a government passport agency or border authority. Examples of attestations are proof of citizenship in country X or proof of entry or exit to country Y."

I don't know if I am excited or horrified. Especially with Accenture working on that.
But there is an element of faith in the market. If the capitalist read the Wealth of Nations or not, s/he believes in the invisible hand and that free markets are the right way to manage our lives. It is the ideological package that guides people who embrace capitalism as their way of life.
The evil comes from optimizing the profits when all they have is data.

Technically, the only major cost of Facebook is storage space, so they could just function as Dropbox. Free plan up to a point, then charge for storage.

They could run some ads too, you know. Not targeted and not blended with content.

There are plenty of ways, so long as you don’t look for maximum profit.

Making it free maximises the number of users, and then AI-ing the shit out of user’s data and selling the results to gullible advertisers is definitely the ultimate money making machine...
While you're not wrong, per se, this has a bit of that "never give PHP credit for getting better when it's still possible to do bad things with it" vibe to it. I mean, it's fairly well-established PHP did some pretty boneheaded things in its history and one could argue they didn't get serious about cleaning those up until rather late in PHP 5's life cycle. (Some would say not until PHP 7.)

In the case of your example, what it tells me is that they had a "mysql_escape_string()" that they needed to remove but had to deprecate first to avoid breaking existing code, however bad it might be, and so replaced it with "mysql_real_escape_string()" -- which itself hasn't been in PHP for over 5 years, since that whole MySQL driver was deprecated. There's still a "mysqli_real_escape_string()", but that name is likely a quirk of history, as there's no matching "mysqli_escape_string()" for people who would like to use the supported driver but continue screwing up the charset.

(Edit: another comment reminded me of something that I knew once but had forgotten. The MySQL C API has the "escape_string" and "real_escape_string" functions in it which do precisely the same things the old PHP functions did. So this actually tells us even less about PHP the language, although it may tell us something more about MySQL.)

That might explain the ratings. COVID has begun a kind of shift. Those in the upper class are getting it hard. Real estate traders are screwed. Those who pay minimum wage are having difficulty hiring, especially with the number pf deaths from those exposed to it. Things like bus driving come with hefty hazard pay now.
> The goal of this guide is to produce a simple guide to help you pronounce a surname from a non-English speaking culture that sounds reasonably correct.

FYI, the first sentence of the article isn't proper English. It purports to teach how a non-English speaking culture can sound resonably correct.
> There’s a large (the vast majority), who think what is happening to Assange is a travesty.

Not sure that's true, go to reddit for example, and you'll see the majority are already brainwashed into thinking Assange is a Russian asset. US mainstream media is working on it overtime.

which is a very important point. Modesty as an expression of personal choice is not the same as modesty enforced by a culture (created explicitly not by the people it covered up, and also expressing arguably a different thing, namely chastity).

When I was living in London back in 1999, one of my friends was working on the Jubilee Line Extension (JLE) project, which was extending the tube/underground out to the east.

He told me that the bilge pumps running in many parts of the London underground are running 24/7, simply because the water table is so high (and the underground is very deep in some places). During normal weather, if those pumps go offline for more than 15 minutes they have a major flooding problem. Doubtless that situation has worsened over the past two decades.

London is very flat and very low -- they're going to be an unfortunate poster child for coastal cities being slowly but inexorably wiped out by sea level rise.
It's funny how frequent people bring this up, but the truth is simple, check here [1]. Zircon kernel is not new [2], it has been in development for a while now. By the time the started to work on the microkernel, Rust 1.0 was really new, so they would've to implement several things from ground up. There's a implementation of Zircon in rust called zCore [3], but I don't know how stable and feature complete this one is.

this has been popping up a lot in the last 5-10 years (mass media creation ) and especially since Covid - fewer people are outside experiencing reality. Also recent political campaigns have been evidence of it. It would really be beneficial for everyone to at least try to grasp some of Baudrillard's concepts in order to make sense of next 10 or more years.
A lot of things are either only possible at all, or a lot safer, with light. A simple example is driving, the more you can see the safer you are. Environmental lighting is a big part of this, particularly in countries with tyrannical policing of anti-modification regulations like Australia or (even more so) Germany.

Anecdote: My old Mazda was the top-of-the-line when it was made, the nicest road car you could get from Mazda no matter how much money you had. And the headlights were terrible. Well-lit streets were always noticeably easier to drive at night. I could have replaced them with a HID or LED for less than a thousand dollars, and been much happier and safer, for a week. Then I'd be pulled over, given a defect canary (a fine, a huge sticker on your windshield labelling you to other police to harass, as well a requirement to prove you've "remedied" the situation). Get a few defect notices, and the police can have your car crushed into a cube with no recourse under "anti hoon" laws.

"Non-English" -> Mainland Chinese.

Well, it's a start I guess. Probably worth adding Vietnamese considering how few people in the US know how to pronounce "Nguyen".
Sure. I mean I understand what you are saying.

1) That you weren't talking about normative issues. I get that. Normative issues have been on my mind lately and I wanted to add my thoughts.

The rest of your comment seems plainly true so I wasn't sure what to say really.

2) I must understand the facts properly in order to succeed. If I do not understand the facts, I or others will suffer unintended consequences. This is clearly true.

3) I must work to understand and counteract propaganda from others. I first began to question my beliefs after listening to Noam Chomsky. Clear critiques of the structures of power and how they affect the media and propaganda are key aspects of his philosophy, so I am aware of this.

> I probably should have put more effort into clarifying it, though that probably would have made it a lot longer.

Personally I think you could make it clearer by using fewer, simpler words. But I speak using simple clear words so of course I would think that. Anyway I don't mean to sound too critical, just sharing my thoughts.
The reason there are too many humans to do it is because we invented agriculture, and we stopped living like that just as we invented agriculture.

Spending your time fighting for limited resources is actually not something we stopped doing. If you live in the US on average around 4% of your working time is spent on war, and that's working more than twice the hours, all things considered, of people in the neolithic. And that's in relative peace time, expect that to revert to the mean in the next decade or two.

Anyways, this is besides the point, the natural state of man is indeed to do less labour and even less work than nowadays.
Yup, better would be "pronounce a surname from a non-English speaking culture in a way that sounds reasonably correct."
This is a pretty accurate take - “they feel like they deserve more”. Then you grow up with relatively few wants, there is a lot of time to spend wondering what your purpose is.

I have >10y python exp. Vanilla import system? I grasp it quite well.

- Entrypoints? Getting there.

- Namespace packages? Ehh. Murky

- site-packages/mypackage.pth - I get it but I don't know why sometimes it appears and other times not

- c extensions? Ehhh.

- .so loading? Kinda magic.

- the confluence of editable installs, namespace packages, foo.pth, PYTHONPATH, sys.path, relative imports, entry points, virtualenvs, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, shell initialization, setup.py vs pyproject.toml? Um yeah that's some heavy wizardry.

Tbf, you don't need the vast majority of that to be effective in python.
The idea that the vaccine prevents hospitalizations is in fact directly contradictory to the GGPs central argument, which was "that a drop in [COVID] death rates following vaccine rollout proves their efficacy/safety is like saying that a week of heavy rains after doing a rain dance proves the rain dance did it."

It's also worth pointing out that "some risk from possible side effects of making your cells express a bunch of artificial spike protein throughout your body for a few days" is strictly less than that of the virus, because the virus also puts those spike proteins in your body.

And the MRNA vaccines don't have stroke or guillain-barre as side effects. That only applies to the J&J (Janssen) vaccine.

Further, GGPs 33% number is actually 39%, and applies specifically to the delta variant. Against the version of the virus that the vaccines were developed against, it had a far higher rate of infection reduction, which is why people are (reasonably) somewhat concerned about delta, and why vaccination is even more important: because herd immunity is now even harder to achieve.
"they either [...]"

Those are not the only options.

For example, here's another thing they could do: increase pay for positions in which women are over-represented.

I'm not advocating for or against that. But let's not pretend that all solutions require changing the structure or composition of the team.
Politics is when people yell at each other about what they ought to do.

You're right that there's a "political" covid vaccine push, in that sense. It's because getting vaccinated is your civic duty. If the risk of complications were 10 times greater it would still be your civic duty. The pandemic - a society-wide threat to public health and social integrity - ends only when everyone has sufficient antibodies to prevent the virus from multiplying out of control - the so-called "herd immunity". It'll keep going until it gets there, so you don't really have a choice - you're getting those antibodies, one way or another. You can do that the easy way - through a vaccine - or the hard way, by catching covid, in which case you'll further strain an already overloaded health system and likely pass it on to someone else, risking their death or permanent injury.

So, yeah - you ought to get vaccinated. In a simpler time, it might have been called "the patriotic thing to do".
The Zodiac Killer’s Last Two Unsolved Ciphers Have Been Cracked
* Spanish: "hacer"

* French: "pas"

* Italian: "casa"

* Mandarin (written using pinyin): "bàng"

* German: "katze"

* Japanes (written in romaji): "arigato"

* Bahasa Indonesia: "bahasa"

Note that the sounds in these various languages are not exactly the same, but the "au" in "caught" is the closest sound in the native phonological inventory of a General American speaker (given said speaker pronounces "caught" and "cot" differently).
You can't just 'watch what thousands of scientists are saying'. You have to rely on media, which is provably spreading misinformation on a range of topics every single day. The trust in mainstream media is at an all time low and for good reason.
It exists because "mysql_escape_string() does not take a connection argument and does not respect the current charset setting."
That was a very well written Tweet thread. Thanks for posting.
Something that always kind of bugs me is when I am traveling at an airport in the US, and there is an announcement like “Passengers X and Y, please come to gate 7” and the announcer obviously has no idea how to pronounce non-English names. This is even in airports like LAX which see a massive number of travelers from Latin America and East Asia.

I would think that after making those sorts of announcements frequently for one’s job, one would learn just a few minor adjustments to improve accuracy.

The basic ones I can think of that would increase accuracy measurably are:

1. How to pronounce “Nguyen”

2. Spanish ‘j’ is close to English ‘h’

3. Spanish ‘h’ is silent

4. Spanish 'll' is close to English 'y'

5. Chinese ‘q’ is close to English ‘ch’

6. Chinese ‘c’ is like English ‘ts’

7. Chinese ‘x’ is close to English ‘sh’

8. Most languages do not use ‘a’ as in the American English “and”. If you have to guess, better is ‘a’ as in “father”. In general if you have to guess, the vowels of Spanish are usually going to be closer than the vowels of English for most languages.

If the airport announcers were taught these basics on day 1 it would make a tangible difference in people’s lives for so little invested effort.

> This means there's nothing specific to PHP about this problem.

I don't particularly care if languages that I am not using have the same problem. It's up to people who use those languages to make those criticisms.

> Many higher level libraries, including for PHP, abstract over this problem and do offer arrays by binding per query.

Feel free to link an in-built PHP library that supports this feature, that would be far more useful than just obliquely suggesting that one exists.
Apparently there's a subset of American-English speakers that would pronounce "caught" as "kaat". I've always heard it like a longer/smoother "cot" though.

I'd say a good first guess is the "a" in "about" instead.
I understand, I was careful to say a segment, I know how easy it is to come off resentful or bitter. I largely don't have much a problem with van life or any such lifestyles, like you say, there's plenty of people where the extent of van life is they just happen to live in a van.
The issue I take is admittedly more pedantic, sort of intellectual honesty. I know it's paradoxical, but a thought I have a lot is "I don't care if you lie to yourself, I just ask you don't lie to me."

Rejecting money as some moralistic endeavor while living in a city is to me, bluntly, pretty dishonest. I feel like that is what is arguably wrong with what he does, especially in the context of his own framework. It really is like Diogenes, if he hates society so much, why is he still here?

I have been suspecting that freenom is a scam for some time. I used several free domain names for some testing that I did and although one of them did have a website up for it (which is required according to their terms of service), The domain was reclaimed after one year and I would have had to pay money to renew it.

Honestly though I have to admit that I wasn't surprised and I didn't go posting on the internet about it. I already knew that it is impossible to get something for nothing these days. Especially domain names! These days if I want to throw away domain name I'll go to name cheap and spend $0.88 on one.
I have the same complaint. My standing desk already has about 6 different power bricks and a few more plugs all of which have to be carefully wrapped and stuffed into a cable keeper.

The solution i am working on is that i am repurposing a PC power supply and then bought several high amp buck converters. I am wiring the 12v and 5v rails to the different buck converters to get the required 19v for my monitors, 24v for speakers, etc. All of this is a single unit much smaller and I can cut the wires to length to reach each device exactly.
1. The total amount of knowledge within primary education is limited.
2. Tutoring schools are not extending students knowledge, it simply intensify the competition by giving students extra pratices and instruction so they can make money from it.
3. Students are not benefit from it, as theirs absolute ranking stay unchanged, if not decrease because their family cannot afford tutoring.
4. Will it immediately alleviates the pressure and anxiety for parents? No, as long as the supply of desired works limited. And the overall social efficiency unchanged. But it does try to solve the immediate problem of out of control involution in the competition and maybe do some good for students.
>> English speakers use the word "sifu" as part of its own independent cultural tradition.

This isn't a contradiction; you're agreeing with me.

> The "southerners" you're referring to include the Cantonese, surely. Who pronounce that word /sifu/, not /ʃɚfʊ/, and spell it accordingly.

You might be surprised to learn how the Cantonese spell 师傅.

I'm not sure what you think "mattering" means, but I was responding to a comment that said "the US is loosing[sic] more and more of its standing". I'm not sure why you're so convinced that the relative decline of the US's reputation shouldn't be talked about, but it's pretty bizarre behavior to insert yourself into a conversation about it and assert so.

My observation is business owners are unhappiest. They're subject to restrictions. Workers don't want to work in the office anymore. People who took minimum wage jobs are dead and more expensive, with bus drivers and janitors getting double pay for danger. Real estate is going to take a dip, especially offices.

Most of these things are beneficial to the common man. People have demanded revolution for years and looks like they might get it.
Hard agree. Real estate is spiking up, but you are to observe that construction materials and wood just normalized back to where they were. Same with cars, this is due to rental companies repurchasing their fleets. It's a temporary supply issue, we are not in an inflationary market just yet.
